The Dead Sea Rift as a natural laboratory for earthquake behavior: prehistorical, historical and recent seismicity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The DSW 2009 - Field Trip & Workshop "The Dead Sea Rift as natural laboratory for earthquake behaviour: prehistorical, historical and recent seismicity", held in Israel on 16th-23rd February, 2009, was organized by the Geological Survey of Israel and ...

Paleoseismology of the Northern Kongur Shan Extensional System, NE Pamir: Implications for Potential Irregular Earthquake Recurrence

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 129, Issue 10, October 2024.
Abstract The intricate and changing stress conditions within complex fault networks pose challenges in understanding earthquake recurrence and seismic hazards. The Kongur Shan Extensional System (KSES) in the northeastern Pamir, characterized by complex fault geometries and potentially variable surface loads in its surroundings, offers an ideal ...

Shaken and Stirred: A Comparative Study of Earthquake‐Triggered Soft‐Sediment Deformation Structures in Lake Sediments

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 25, Issue 6, June 2024.
Abstract Subaqueous paleoseismic studies used soft sediment deformation structures (SSDS) to discern the shaking strength of past earthquakes, as the deformation degree of SSDS related to Kelvin Helmholtz Instability evolves from disturbed lamination and folds to intraclast breccia with higher peak ground accelerations (PGA).

Geodetic and geological evidence of active tectonics in south-westernSicily (Italy) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Integrated geological, geodetic and marine geophysical data provide evidence of active deformation insouth-western Sicily, in an area spatially coincident with the macroseismic zone of the destructive 1968Belice earthquake sequence.

Sedimentary Records in the Lesser Antilles Fore‐Arc Basins Provide Evidence of Large Late Quaternary Megathrust Earthquakes

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 25, Issue 2, February 2024.
Abstract The seismic potential of the Lesser Antilles subduction zone is poorly known and highly debated. Only two damaging earthquakes have been reported in the historical period, in 1839 and 1843, but their sources and magnitude are still uncertain. Global Navigation Satellite Systems and coral data contradict each other, and no conclusion has been ...

The Earthquake Sedimentary record of The Lake Hazar along the East Anatolian Fault in Turkey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
There are a few places in the world where sedimentary records have been studied looking at climate and tectonic interactions. In Turkey, after the destructive Izmit 1999 earthquake, a number of projects have focused on the North Anatolian strike-slip ...

Geometry and slip rate of the Aigion fault, a young normal fault system in the western Gulf of Corinth

open access: yes, 2007
The Aigion fault is one of the youngest major normal faults in the Gulf of Corinth, Greece, with an immature displacement profile. Based on geometry, slip rate and comparison with regional faults, we estimate the fault system length at ~10 km.

Evidence for the activity and paleoseismicity of the Padul fault (Betic Cordillera, southern Spain) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
There is evidence of recent tectonic activity in the proximity of Padul, in the central sector of the Betic Cordillera. The principal active fault in this region is the Padul normal fault, running NW-SE, which displays spectacular geomorphological and ...
