Mónica Arcila is the director of geoamenazas at the Servicio Geológico Colombiano, where she plays a crucial role in monitoring seismic activity in Colombia. In the recent news regarding a series of earthquakes in the Chocó department, she provided insights into the phenomenon, explaining that the seismic events are part of a 'swarm' of tremors linked to tectonic dynamics in the region. Arcila emphasized the importance of understanding these changes in the earth's crust, noting that while there is no evidence suggesting an imminent larger earthquake, the potential cannot be entirely ruled out.
