Our work in Chile has focused on reconstructing earthquake and tsunami histories over the historical and prehistoric period. Our studies span the Chilean subduction zone from the La Serena area in north-central Chile, to the metropolitan coast of central Chile, to the area of the 1960 and 2010 CE earthquakes and tsunamis in south-central and southern Chile. Our studies have shed light on the behavior of the subduction zone over thousands of year timescales. We have also been involved in developing a Holocene sea-level database for the Chilean coast.
Our work in Chile continues, with ongoing projects on characterizing the 2015 earthquake using tsunami deposits, investigating the 1730 CE rupture in central Chile, and reconstructing millennial-timescale earthquake and tsunami records in southern Chile.
Collaborators on Chile projects include Lisa Ely, Marco Cisternas, Rob Wesson, Bre MacInnes, Benjamin Horton, Alan Nelson, Ed Garrett, Jessica Pilarczyk, Isabel Hong
