Tracing the relationship between the upper plate earthquake cycle and megathrust slip, the Atacama fault system in Northern Chile

Abstract Inland-normal faulting is recognised as an important process following large subduction earthquakes. The lack of data limits the understanding of how normal fault reactivation relates to the subduction earthquake cycle. We characterised the palaeoseismology of the Atacama fault system (AFS)...
