This volume presents a collection of contributions that were published in "Pure and Applied Geophysics - pageoph" and which deals with the major earthquake that hit Illapel, Chile on September 16, 2015 with magnitude 8.3, and associated trans-oceanic tsunami. The subducting Nazca plate beneath the Andes caused this major earthquake, generating strong shaking, permanent deformation, free oscillations of the Earth, and tsunamis. This event occurred in the flat-angle subducting segment of the plate.The generated tsunami spread throughout the entire Pacific Ocean and was recorded by numerous coastal tide gauges and open-ocean DART stations. All articles give an up-to-date account of research in one of the most active seismic zones worldwide. An introductory article by Kenji Satake rounds this collection off.

Part history and current affairs, part travelogue, this is the story of a journey made by Alistair Horne and American politician/journalist, Bill Buckley through Colombia, Peru, Chile and Bolivia. They set off in September 1970, just after a Marxist government had come to power in a free election in Chile. The author's account has been updated with a further 10,000 words to include the only interview ever given to a Western journalist by Pinochet.

On Sunday, March 28, 1965 at 12:33 p.m., Chile was jarred by a strong earthquake, just four years and ten months after the May 1960 quake which took 5,700 lives in this same country. The epicenter of the earthquake was about 127 miles northwest of Santiago, the country's capital. The earthquake registered 7.5 on the Richter scale and 9.0 on the Mercali Scale. It lasted for one full minute across an area of 130,000 square miles and for 2 hours it set seismographs jumping as far away as central Italy, some 7,500 miles to the east. For Chile, which lies entirely inside the Pacific earthquake belt, it was the fourth major earthquake in this century. (Chile experiences 15 percent of all earthquakes.) There was no permanent organization set up to deal with the disaster. Every quake is unique, say Chilean officials, and therefore must be dealt with differently. But previous experience with the aftermath of earthquakes proved an asset in dealing with this particular event. In less than an hour after the earthquake's impact, the country was being mobilized to deal with the disaster and to determine the extent of the damage.

The book discusses the last Chilean earthquake which occurred on 27th February 2010. It happened at the end of summer vacations reaching a magnitude of 8.8 Mw with its epicentre in Cobquecura, in the Bío- Bío region. This phenomenon mainly affected the central Chile area which comprises of the regions of Araucanía, Bio-Bio, Maule, General O´Higgins, Valparaíso and Metropolitan. At that date it was the fifth largest earthquake ever to have occurred on a worldwide scale. The book is organized in six chapters written by remarkable authors from different disciplines thus presenting a comprehensive view of the occurrence. The texts come from the fields of geophysics, hydro-mechanical engineering, telecommunication, geographic information systems, urban and design planning, building engineering, architecture and urbanism. Authors come from academia and the public and private sectors to give an idea of complementary approaches that range from theoretical descriptions to practice and emergency solutions. It will be suitable for professionals and researchers taking decisions, undergraduate and postgraduate students and teachers at university levels.

On February 27, 2010, an earthquake of magnitude 8.8 struck off the coast of central Chile. Centered 70 miles northeast of Chile's second-largest city, Concepcion, at a depth of 22 miles, the earthquake was the second largest ever recorded in Chile and the fifth largest recorded worldwide since 1900. Over 100 aftershocks of magnitude 5.0 or greater were recorded following the initial earthquake. The earthquake and subsequent tsunami, which struck Chile's coast roughly 20 minutes after the earthquake and moved 2,000 feet onto shore in some places, devastated parts of the country. Although there are reports of varying casualty numbers, according to Chile's Ministry of the Interior, the official death toll is 507 (497 bodies have been identified; 10 remain unidentified). The numbers of missing persons are not yet known. Approximately 200,000 homes have been badly damaged or destroyed. Estimates suggest as many as 2 million people may have been affected by the earthquake, an unknown number of whom were injured or displaced.

At 6:02 on the morning of May 21, 1960, one of the greatest earthquakes of recorded history struck the long narrow land of Chile. This earthquake devastated a wide area in the vicinity of the town of Concepción in the central part of the country. Disturbances continued throughout the day. In the afternoon of the following day in an area several hundred miles farther south, two earthquakes occurred half a minute apart; the first centered in the island of Chiloé and the second--one of the most severe ever recorded--occurred in the vicinity of Valdivia. At the same time, a tsunami, or tidal wave, developed off the coast. In Chile it wrought its greatest damage in Puerto Saavedra, Corral, Ancud, and Castro. It moved across the Pacific, extending as far as the Arctic and Indian Oceans and causing extensive damage in such farflung places as California, Hawaii, and Japan. In Chile in the days that followed, fires, floods, landslides, and the threat of erupting volcanoes added to the desolation and suffering. The land settled or split in great fissures. Wide areas were flooded by heavy downpours or by waters that swept in from the sea or from the overflowing lakes. Large landslides occurred, mainly in the lake districts in the provinces of Cautín, Valdiva, Osorno, and Llanquihue. Earthquakes, although none as severe as those of May 21 and 22, continued for many months.--Page 1.
