Lacustrine paleoseismology in Carinthia, Austria

The Alps, a young and dynamically evolving mountain range, experience comparably slow tectonic movements that lead to low to moderate seismicity and infrequent strong earthquakes (Mw 5-7), typically recurring over thousands of years. Due to the limited time span covered by instrumental (∼100 years) and historical (∼1000 years) records, it is unlikely ...

Chapter 1 Introduction to paleoseismology

1996
Publisher Summary This chapter provides an introduction to paleoseismology. Paleoseismology is the study of prehistoric earthquakes especially their location, timing, and size. Paleoseismology differs from the general studies of slow to rapid crystal movements during the late Cenozoic in its focus on the almost instantaneous deformation of landforms ...

Submarine Paleoseismology Based on Turbidite Records

Annual Review of Marine Science, 2011
Many of the largest earthquakes are generated at subduction zones or other plate boundary fault systems near enough to the coast that marine environments may record evidence of them. During and shortly after large earthquakes in the coastal and marine environments, a spectrum of evidence may be left behind, mirroring onshore paleoseismic evidence ...

Paleoseismology in coastal Chile

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1996
The fossil shorelines of the Chilean coast reflect interseismic as well as coseismic movements. The earthquake record is further obscured by the variable pattern of coastal deformation that accompanies large earthquakes, such as the longitudinal warping associated with the 1960 Valdivia (Mw= 9.5) earthquake.

A Slump in Paleoseismology

Science, 2002
GEOLOGY Large earthquakes often spur mass sediment movements, such as the submarine slumps that generate tsunamis. Correlating in time and space precisely dated slump deposits should thus provide a chronology of prehistoric seismicity in intraplate settings such as central Europe, where the historical record of earthquakes is spotty.

Paleoseismology and Landslides

2013
Most moderate to large earthquakes trigger landslides (Fig. 1). In many environments, landslides preserved in the geologic record can be analyzed to determine the likelihood of seismic triggering. If evidence indicates that a seismic origin is likely for a landslide or group of landslides, and if the landslides can be dated, then a paleoearthquake can ...
