Geomorphic study of seismically active areas using remote sensing data. Case of the Gorny Altai (Siberia) affected by the 2003 Altai earthquake [PDF]

BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2017
This paper shows that a multitemporal, multiscale, and multisource remote sensing dataset represents an efficient tool for studying morphotectonics in seismically active areas, with an application in Siberia.

MORPHOTECTONICS OF THE PSATHOPYRGOS ACTIVE FAULT, WESTERN CORINTH RIFT, CENTRAL GREECE

Bulletin of the Geological Society of Greece, 2018
The study area is located on the western part of the Gulf of Corinth which is considered as a paradigm of an active rift system in Greece. This rift was formed by normal slip on big faults which extend the crust of the Earth in the N-S direction.

Anatomy of the Right‐Lateral Strike‐Slip Cephalonia Fault to the Western Hellenic Arc Frontal Thrust

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract The region offshore the Ionian Islands (Kefalonia or Cephalonia, Lefkada, Zakynthos, and Ithaca), western Greece, is characterized by very high seismogenic and tsunamigenic potential. Despite numerous studies, many questions remain regarding the structures and kinematics in this area.

Plate‐Scale Strike‐Slip Fault System in the Barbados Accretionary Wedge of the Lesser Antilles Subduction Zone

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract Fault systems of various geometries develop into accretionary wedges to accommodate slip partitioning of plate convergence in oblique settings. However, how they form, evolve and contribute to the segmentation of the megathrust is still poorly understood. The Barbados accretionary wedge, which results from the subduction of the American plates

Drivers of Insect Diversity and Community Turnover in Protected Tropical Deciduous Forests of Mexico

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 3, May–June 2025.
Seasonal fluctuations and anthropogenic disturbance drive insect diversity and community structure in two protected tropical deciduous forests on Mexico's Pacific coast. High regional turnover in insect communities underscores the unique biodiversity of tropical deciduous forests.
