MAule eaRthquake: Integration of Seismic Cycle Observations and Structural investigations

The MARISCOS group proposal consisted of five interconnected projects founded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The ultimate goal of MARISCOS was to reveal structural details of the Maule subduction zone, detect tempo-spatial changes of material properties and quantify the relative importance of the processes that are ascribed to the seismic cycle. 

We contributed to MARISCOS with Project 4: Seismic and aseismic deformation processes associated with the 2010 Maule earthquake.

Project duration: 2011-2014
Funding: DFG
