  • Damage Assessment of the 2015 Mw 8.3 Illapel Earthquake in the North‑Central Chile
    Natural Hazards https://doi.org/10.1007/s11069-018-3541-3 ORIGINAL PAPER Damage assessment of the 2015 Mw 8.3 Illapel earthquake in the North‑Central Chile José Fernández1 · César Pastén1 · Sergio Ruiz2 · Felipe Leyton3 Received: 27 May 2018 / Accepted: 19 November 2018 © Springer Nature B.V. 2018 Abstract Destructive megathrust earthquakes, such as the 2015 Mw 8.3 Illapel event, frequently afect Chile. In this study, we assess the damage of the 2015 Illapel Earthquake in the Coquimbo Region (North-Central Chile) using the MSK-64 macroseismic intensity scale, adapted to Chilean civil structures. We complement these observations with the analysis of strong motion records and geophysical data of 29 seismic stations, including average shear wave velocities in the upper 30 m, Vs30, and horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratios. The calculated MSK intensities indicate that the damage was lower than expected for such megathrust earthquake, which can be attributable to the high Vs30 and the low predominant vibration periods of the sites. Nevertheless, few sites have shown systematic high intensi- ties during comparable earthquakes most likely due to local site efects. The intensities of the 2015 Illapel earthquake are lower than the reported for the 1997 Mw 7.1 Punitaqui intraplate intermediate-depth earthquake, despite the larger magnitude of the recent event. Keywords Subduction earthquake · H/V spectral ratio · Earthquake intensity 1 Introduction On September 16, 2015, at 22:54:31 (UTC), the Mw 8.3 Illapel earthquake occurred in the Coquimbo Region, North-Central Chile. The epicenter was located at 71.74°W, 31.64°S and 23.3 km depth and the rupture reached an extent of 200 km × 100 km, with a near trench rupture that caused a local tsunami in the Chilean coast (Heidarzadeh et al.

  • Hotelera Nacional De Chile" (HONSA): Modern Tourism in the Desert Territory in Northern Chile
    The "Hotelera Nacional de Chile" (HONSA): modern tourism in the desert territory in northern Chile. Claudio Galeno-Ibaceta Universidad Católica del Norte, Escuela de Arquitectura, Av. Angamos 0610, 1270709, Antofagasta, Chile. e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The modern leisure habits result of the right to spare time, increased mobility due to improved transport, education through travel, and enhancement of healthy environments, consolidated in the Chilean desert, a series of modern architectures linked to its context. In November 1933 the Ferrocarriles del Estado began publishing the magazine En Viaje (On Tour), which was the means of disseminating the values and tourism ventures in the country. The magazine precedes the enactment of the law of the annual holiday in January 1934. Since then, the State implemented a territorial politics implementation of tourist services, but takes on greater emphasis from the foundation of the Consorcio Hotelero in 1944, which declares its desire to build hotels in Northern Chile. That entity then joins with the Organización Nacional Hotelera, and together they are called Hotelera Nacional S.A. (HONSA). Keywords: tourism, Chile, hotel, desert, modernity. 01. Tourism in Chile. In Chile, a territorial politics of implementation of tourist architecture promoted by the State was executed; that in addition led all those dispersed national efforts to promote the tourism. The process began from mid thirties, but it had major institutionalism from the foundation of the Consorcio Hotelero de Chile, in 1944, that promoted new constructions, as well as it linked itself to existing entrepreneurship, generating a merge among the State, the local governments and the private world.

This area lies in an extreme climate gradient between the hyper-arid Atacama Desert in the north and a Mediterranean climate in the south, which has made it very sensitive to past climate changes.

  • The Low-Level Atmospheric Circulation Near Tongoy Bay–Point Lengua De Vaca (Chilean Coast, 308S)
    3628 MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW VOLUME 139 The Low-Level Atmospheric Circulation near Tongoy Bay–Point Lengua de Vaca (Chilean Coast, 308S) DAVID A. RAHN AND RENE´ D. GARREAUD Departamento de Geofı´sica, Facultad de Ciencias Fı´sicas y Matema´ ticas, Universidad de Chile, Santiago, Chile JOSE´ A. RUTLLANT Departamento de Geofı´sica, Facultad de Ciencias Fı´sicas y Matema´ ticas, Universidad de Chile, Santiago, and Centro de Estudios Avanzados en Zonas A´ ridas, La Serena, Chile (Manuscript received 1 March 2011, in final form 25 April 2011) ABSTRACT Strong southerly, terrain parallel winds often occur along the coast of north-central Chile (258–358S) em- bedded in the marine atmospheric boundary layer and the lower part of the capping temperature inversion. Their offshore structure and variability have received considerable attention because of the effect on open- ocean processes and connection with the southeast Pacific cloud layer. Mesoscale low-level circulations linked to the coastal topography (e.g., coastal jets and sea breeze) are less studied in Chile, but are particularly relevant as they alter the upper-ocean circulation and the cloud pattern in the nearshore strip. Surface, radiosonde, and airborne meteorological observations near point Lengua de Vaca (LdV)–Tongoy Bay (TB) at 308S are used alongside numerical modeling to understand the local circulation near a prominent upwelling center. Most observations were gathered during the Variability of the American Monsoon Systems (VAMOS) Ocean–Cloud–Atmosphere–Land Study Chilean Upwelling Experiment (VOCALS-CUpEx) during two weeks in late spring 2009. The regional topography resembles other major capes, but south of TB and east of LdV there is a low (100–300 m), dry marine terrace bounded by high elevation at the coast (;600 m) and farther inland.
