Thesis
This paper presents new morpho-stratigraphic evidence of subsidence caused by the 1960 Valdivia earthquake in Pangal, a coastal strand plain located approximately 60 km southwest of the city of Puerto Montt. With a magnitude of 9.5, the 1960 earthquake, the largest instrumentally recorded earthquake in the world, subsided the Pangal area about 1.5...

On September 16, 2015, a Mw 8.3 earthquake struck the north-central Chile coast, triggering a tsunami observed along 500 km of coastline, between Huasco (28.5°S) and San Antonio (33.5°S). This tsunami provided a unique opportunity to examine the nature of tsunami deposits in a semi-arid, siliciclastic environment where stratigraphic and sedimentolo...

Los cordones litorales son morfologías típicas de bermas y dunas de playas con elevaciones mayores en la topografía, se han propuesto como indicadores de la historia pasada del nivel del mar, eventos catastróficos y cambios climáticos. Como resultado de ~1,5 m de subsidencia cosismica asociada al terremoto de Valdivia de 1960, Chile Mw 9,5, la líne...

As a result of ~ 1.5 m of co-seismic subsidence associated to the giant 1960 Chile earthquake, the shoreline of Pangal, a beach-ridge plain located midway along the 1960 subsided area, retreated ~400 m landward by erosion. Twenty years later, by 1979, the shoreline started to prograde seaward constructing a series of beach ridges and a wide beach....

The iconic conifer Araucaria araucana (Arau- caria), called Pehuén by native people, is an en- demic species of the Andes of northern Patago- nia in Chile and Argentina. Its range encompasses only three degrees of latitude (37 ◦ 20 � – 40 ◦ 20 � S) with a small outlying presence in the coastal moun- tains of Chile (Veblen et al. 1995). The species...

Question
Hello everyone,
I work with the digital shoreline analysis system (DSAS of USGS) to my thesis, in the process i have a error with the calculate change statistics. The program say: "Unable to find output file 'C:\Users\...DSASCore.out.xml'
Does anyone know what the solution is?
Thanks!
