  abstract = {{O}ver long-term geological scales, the position and vertical movements of the coast are considered to be among the most important effects resulting from first-order plate tectonics interactions in the subduction zones. {H}owever, the relationship between short-term vertical deformation driven by earthquakes and long-term coastal uplift in the {A}ndean subduction contact of northern {C}hile has not been thoroughly elucidated to date. {B}ased on precise radiocarbon dating and geomorphological analysis of littoral deposits in the {M}ejillones {P}eninsula at the southern edge of the major northern {C}hile seismic gap, we report a drastic increase in coastal uplift since marine isotope stage 3 ({MIS} 3) with uplift rates one order of magnitude more rapid than previously in the {L}ate {P}leistocene. {G}eomorphological evidence supplied by {H}olocene littoral deposits and marine terraces shows that this tectonic regime could be operating at present. {T}ogether with new geodetic data following the 2007 {M}w 7.7 {T}ocopilla event, these observations indicate that coastal uplift results from cumulative coseismic vertical displacement with low subsequent interseismic subsidence recovery driven by both deep-moderate and large megathrust earthquakes. {W}e suggest that the accelerated coastal uprising and earthquake rate over the past 44 ka demonstrated in this work results from changes involving the entire subduction contact between the {N}azca and {S}outh {A}merican plates in northern {C}hile.},
