« We use geodetic data to quantify the amount of deformation building coastal topography in northern Chile. While the largest earthquakes in Chile are a consequence of the convergence between the Pacific and South American plates, we show that 4 to 8% of this convergence will not fuel earthquakes in the future, but rather grow mountains. »
