Seismic‐afterslip characterization of the 2010 MW 8.8 Maule, Chile, earthquake based on moment tensor inversion

On February 27th 2010, a MW8.8 earthquake struck the coast of south‐central Chile, rupturing ∼500 km along the subduction interface. Here we estimate the amount of seismically‐released afterslip (SRA) and the mechanisms underlying the distribution of aftershocks of this megathrust earthquake. We emp...
