Description
The 2002 Chile-Argentina (CHAR02), was a microseismic monitoring project in central Chile and Western Argentina (31¿-34¿S), done in joint collaboration between University of Chile and IRD-France. Objectives were to study the subduction processes in the region and particularly to perform a 3-D body-wave local tomography, where a change from flat-slab to steep subduction occurs in the subducted slab.
