Our project focuses on the Chilean subduction zone, which is located on a tectonic edge where the Nazca plate slides beneath the South American plate. This process results in catastrophic events, such as large earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions that affect millions of people.
Our goal is to increase significantly the number of highly qualified geoscientists in Chile, to improve knowledge in subduction processes at regional and local scales.
