Geologic setting and sampling stations. (a) Geologic setting of the Caribbean coast of Colombia showing major tectonic plates and faults, mountain ranges, rivers, and coastal cities (CR-P: Costa Rica Panamá Microplate; Cr: Cocos Ridge; CR: Cauca River; MR: Magdalena River; SLR: San Lucas Range; EC: Eastern Cordillera; SF: San Jeronimo Fault; PF: Palestina Fault; SMBF: Santa Marta Bucaramanga Fault; OF: Oca Fault; Cities: 1. Santa Marta; 2. Cartagena; 3. Panama City). GPS velocities relative to South America plate. (b) Main geologic features that produce tectonic-induced vertical motions in Cartagena region, including mud volcanoes and diapirs (see Supplementary Fig. S2), associated pop marks, and tectonic faults. (c) Map of Cartagena city and its bay, showing the main gauging stations of relative seal level and land subsidence used in this study. (a–c) maps generated by ArcMap from ESRI, https://desktop.arcgis.com/es/arcmap/ (Photo credits of Cartagena – Juan D. Restrepo, IDRC-BASIC Project).
