Turbidite correlation for paleoseismology
Geological Society of America BulletinAbstract Marine turbidite paleoseismology relies on the assumption of synchronous triggering of turbidity currents by earthquake shaking to infer rupture extent and recurrence. Such inference commonly depends on age dating and correlation of the physical stratigraphy of deposits carried by turbidity currents (i.e., turbidites) across ...

Chapter 4 Paleoseismology of Volcanic Environments
1996Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the paleoseismology of volcanic environments. It presents a criterion for the recognition of magma-induced, extensional structures to alleviate their misinterpretation in the paleoseismic record as products of single, large magnitude earthquakes.

Introduction to Special Section: Paleoseismology
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1996A proverb of Confucius states “Study the past if you would divine the future.” If we could learn about the past history of earthquakes on a specific fault, then we could serve society well by better forecasting the future earthquake behavior of that fault.For most of the world, the period of historical records is short: about 200 years in California ...

Paleoseismology: evidence of earth activity
International Journal of Earth Sciences, 2016The paleoseismic research aims to document earth activity during earthquakes, such as displacements of fault, rupture location, distribution of slip or ground shaking intensity. The earthquakes are usually distributed on the plate boundaries causing big damages of life on the Earth.

Earthquake recurrence inferred from paleoseismology
2003Publisher Summary This chapter describes three North American examples of earthquake history inferred from Quaternary geology and discusses earthquakes in the interior of the North America plate––in the New Madrid seismic zone of Missouri, Arkansas, and Tennessee.

Chapter 3 Paleoseismology in extensional tectonic environments
1996Publisher Summary This chapter describes selected historic earthquake ruptures on normal faults that serve as modern analogs for paleoseismic features. The paleoseismic studies were performed mainly in the semi-arid environment of the western United States.
