Seismic Evidence for Cocos Slab Tearing and Nazca Slab Emplacement in the Southern Costa Rican Subduction Zone Open

Mingye Feng, Shengji Wei, Ling Chen, Xu Wang, Marino Protti , et al. · 2025

Precise position and geometry of the subducted slab are crucial for deciphering subduction zone volcanism. This is particularly important in the southern Costa Rican subduction zone, where the Cocos Ridge subducted at ∼2–3 Ma, coincident w…

Temporarily Increased Recurrence Rate of Shallow Slow Slip Events Driven by Significant Afterslip Following the 2012 M w 7.6 Nicoya Earthquake Open

Guoli Li, Surui Xie, Marino Protti, Cyril Muller · 2025

Slow slip events (SSEs) release tectonic strain without causing sudden ground shaking. SSEs have been observed at many subduction zones, some dynamically triggered by stress changes due to the passage of seismic waves. However, there are l…

Interseismic Megathrust Coupling at the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica Open

Mason Perry, Cyril Muller, Marino Protti, Lujia Feng, Emma M. Hill · 2025

At the Osa Peninsula in southern Costa Rica, magnitude >7 earthquakes have been generated along the Middle American trench in 1904, 1941, and 1983 following a ∼40‐year recurrence interval, suggesting a rupture may be impending. However, re…

Impact assessment of earthquake early warning systems in Central America Open

Benazir Orihuela, Αθανάσιος Παπαδόπουλος, John Clinton, Griselda Marroquín, Marino Protti , et al. · 2025

Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) systems aim to alert users in advance of imminent shaking, enabling them to take action. In collaboration with local seismic agencies, the Swiss Seismological Service (SED), has developed national EEW systems…

Shallow Slow Slip Events Identified Offshore the Osa Peninsula in Southern Costa Rica From GNSS Time Series Open

Mason Perry, Cyril Muller, Marino Protti, Lujia Feng, Emma M. Hill · 2023

Using new continuous geodetic time series, we identify five shallow slow slip events (SSEs) offshore and beneath the Osa peninsula in southern Costa Rica. An early event was detected by one station in 2013, and two events occurring in clos…

Earthquake early warning in Central America: The societal perspective Open

Benazir Orihuela, Irina Dallo, John Clinton, W. Strauch, Marino Protti , et al. · 2023

Central America has an elevated seismic risk, resulting from the vulnerability of the building stock and steady population growth. Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) aims to provide warning in advance of imminent shaking, allowing recipients t…

Shallow Slow Slip Events Identified Offshore the Osa Peninsula in Southern Costa Rica from GNSS Time Series Open

Cyril Muller, Marino Protti, Lujia Feng, Emma M. Hill, Mason Perry · 2023

Using new continuous GNSS time series from the region, we identify 5 distinct shallow SSEs that occurred immediately offshore and beneath the Osa peninsula: an event detected by one site in 2013, and two events occurring in close successio…

Robust Earthquake Early Warning at a Fraction of the Cost: ASTUTI Costa Rica Open

B. A. Brooks, Marino Protti, T. L. Ericksen, Julian Bunn, Floribeth Vega , et al. · 2021

We show that a fixed smartphone network can provide robust Earthquake Early Warning for at least two orders of magnitude less cost than scientific‐grade networks. Our software and cloud‐based data architecture that we have constructed for …
