In geology and geomorphology vertical movements of the earth's crust have been commonly known for a long time. Horsts, faults, overthrusts, antecedences, subsiding and upheaving shores, uplifts and subsidences of the erosion base, etc. are common phenomena.

Abstract Young active faults pose an underestimated seismic hazard as they can have limited geomorphic and structural expression. The Aigion‐Erineos fault system (AEFS) is a young normal fault on the south coast of the Gulf of Corinth, Greece that provides a key structural link with the Gulf of Patras.

Unravelling the evolution of the Frébouge polygenetic cone in Val Ferret (Mont Blanc Massif)
Proglacial settings in the Alps are typically polygenetic, often characterized by a complex and discontinuous interplay between glacial, fluvial and gravitational processes. These processes yield high volumes of sediments, which usually exceed their transportation capacity.

Bioerosional scars made by limpets (Patella) on a cliff in Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland, indicate a Mid‐Holocene RSL of +7.8±0.55 m relative to local mid‐tide level today. This is higher than previous empirical data for the region and extrapolated levels from raised shorelines in Scotland but consistent with some recent GIA models.

Abstract The Brenner Fault is one of the most important normal faults in the Eastern Alps as it accommodates uplift and lateral extrusion of the Tauern Window. Consequently, understanding its kinematic history is important for studying the dynamics of the Eastern Alps, in particular the Tauern Window.

Neotectonics of Turkey – a synthesis
Turkey forms one of the most actively deforming regions in the world and has a long history of devastating earthquakes. The better understanding of its neotectonic features and active tectonics would provide insight, not only for the country but also for

Schematic evolution model of the Onshore Potiguar Basin, illustrating the role of complex crustal and basinal structures in the onset of this intracratonic rift system in NE Brazilian Equatorial Margin. Red arrows indicate the extensional direction and coloured areas on the surface are the Self‐Organizing Maps populations related to crystalline ...

Neotectonics and Earthquake Forecasting
The editors of a new book describe the evolution of major earthquake producing fault zones in the eastern Mediterranean region and explore how earthquake forecasting could improve.

Abstract The Outer California Borderland (OCB) is an active transform plate boundary offshore Southern California, where the relationship between faulting and submarine mass transport deposits (MTDs) remains poorly understood. Onshore paleoseismic data provide high‐resolution earthquake records, whereas marine geophysical data capture longer‐term ...
