Holocene surface-rupturing paleo-earthquakes along the Kachchh Mainland Fault: shaping the seismic landscape of Kachchh, Western India [PDF]

Scientific Reports
This study explores the seismotectonics of Kachchh in western India, a region with a low-to-moderate strain rate and a history of significant earthquakes, notably the 1819, Mw 7.8 Allah Bund, and the 2001, Mw 7.6 Bhuj.

Improved NB Model Analysis of Earthquake Recurrence Interval Coefficient of Variation for Major Active Faults in the Hetao Graben and Northern Marginal Region [PDF]

Entropy
This study presents an improved Nishenko–Buland (NB) model to address systematic biases in estimating the coefficient of variation for earthquake recurrence intervals based on a normalizing function TTave.

Late quaternary paleoseismology of the Khlong Marui Fault in the Thub Pud area, Phang Nga, southern Thailand [PDF]

Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2022
Remote sensing and aerial photography techniques have been applied in a study of the Khlong Marui Fault in Surat Thani and Phang Nga provinces of southern Thailand. Several faults are recognized in the region, trending mainly NE–SW.

Paleoseismic evidence of five magnitude 7 earthquakes on the Norcia fault system in the past 8,000 years (Central Italy)

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Many large-magnitude faults (6.5≤ Mw ≤7.2) of the Italian Apennines are characterized by multi-century return times, so historical sources may have missed their last earthquake or other predecessors. Hence, even in Italy, where seismic catalogs are among

First evidence of the Late Pleistocene—Holocene activity of the Roveto Valley Fault (Central Apennines, Italy)

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
We investigated the Late Quaternary activity of a major, crustal fault affecting the southern sector of Central Apennines, i.e., the Roveto Valley Fault (also known as Liri Valley fault).
