Structure of the North‐Central Chile Subduction Zone From Local Earthquake Tomography

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The fluid cycle in subduction zones prescribes large parts of its structure and seismogenic behavior. Background seismicity inside the downgoing slab is linked to fluid release from dehydration reactions, whereas fluid overpressure along the plate interface can alter interplate coupling, megathrust earthquakes, and the presence or absence of ...

Hybrid Glacio‐Hydrological Modeling Reveals Contrasting Runoff Changes in Western Patagonia Over the 21st Century

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Climate change poses a serious risk for the freshwater ecosystem of Western Patagonia and threatens glacial and non‐glacial water resources. Here, we model the historical glacio‐hydrology of 2,236 catchments across the Western Patagonia, and project climate change impacts through the 21st century.
