Seismotectonics, Geomorphology and Paleoseismology of the Doroud Fault, a Source of Seismic Hazard in Zagros

Applied Sciences (Switzerland), 2023
In this study, the active tectonics, paleoseismicity, and seismic hazards of the Doroud Fault are examined through high-resolution satellite image interpretations, field investigations, outcrop and trench excavations, and the dating of geochronology ...

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.

Multivariate Statistical and Multiproxy Constraints on Earthquake‐Triggered Sediment Remobilization Processes in the Central Japan Trench [PDF]

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
Understanding the impact of earthquakes on subaqueous environments is key for submarine paleoseismological investigations seeking to provide long‐term records of past earthquakes.

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).

Paleoseismology of the Marquesado-La Rinconada thrust system, Eastern Precordillera of Argentina

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Excavated trenches at two sites across the Marquesado–La Rinconada fault system along the eastern Precordilleran front south of San Juan, Argentina, reveal the earthquake history of this rapidly urbanizing region.

PALEOEARTHQUAKES IN THE PRIBAIKALIE: METHODS AND RESULTS OF DATING

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015
In the Pribaikalie and adjacent territories, seismogeological studies have been underway for almost a half of the century and resulted in discovery of more than 70 dislocations of seismic or presumably seismic origin.
