Tsunami effects on Coquimbo Bay wetland water-bird species composition, associated with the 2015 Mw8.4 Illapel earthquake (northern Chile)

ABSTRACT On September 16, 2015, an earthquake occurred in Chile, causing a tsunami (T16S) that impacted Coquimbo Bay, where the Punta Teatinos, Elqui River Mouth, and El Culebrón wetlands are located. Changes in the flat topography produced by the T16S in these wetlands are described using Google Ea...
