Published in 2017 at "Journal of Geophysical Research"

DOI: 10.1002/2017jc012922

Abstract: This work presents the analysis of long waves resonance in two of the main cities along the northern coast of Chile, Arica, and Iquique, where a large tsunamigenic potential remains despite recent earthquakes. By combining… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Earth Surface Processes and Landforms"

DOI: 10.1002/esp.4791

Abstract: In this paper, a set of models responsible for hydrodynamics, sediment transport, and morphological evolution are introduced with their theoretical backgrounds, and it is explained how they are fully connected through a two‐way coupling to… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "Mathematical Methods in The Applied Sciences"

DOI: 10.1002/mma.4134

Abstract: Tsunamis are rare events compared with other extreme natural hazards, but the growth of population along coastlines has increased their potential impact. Tsunamis are most often generated by earthquake-induced dislocations of the seafloor, which displace… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "Pure and Applied Geophysics"

DOI: 10.1007/s00024-018-1984-9

Abstract: Tsunami risk assessment is an important component of the planning for risk reduction. We considered tsunami risk as a convolution of tsunami hazard, vulnerability of the assets at risk (e.g. buildings) and the economic value… read more here.
