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 ...

Supershear source model of the 2025 M7.8 Myanmar earthquake and paleoseismology of the Sagaing Fault: regions of significant overlap with past earthquakes

Seismica
The 2025 Mw 7.8 earthquake on the central Sagaing Fault is one of the most destructive seismic events in Myanmar's recorded history, producing near-fault shaking exceeding Modified Mercalli Intensity X and impacting tens of millions of people across ...

Paleoseismology of the Long Valley Fault, Central Otago, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics
We document the paleoseismology of the Long Valley Fault, Central Otago, New Zealand. A single trench excavated across the 21 km long, northeast-striking reverse fault reveals evidence for three ground-rupturing earthquakes.

Is the 1697 Sadiya Earthquake Large or Great?: A Critical Appraisal through on-Fault Paleoseismology

Journal of the Geological Society of India
Geological signatures of an earthquake and their coherence with the historical chronicles have always been controversial in paleoseismology. These inferences characterize past earthquake parameters, such as fault location, magnitude, and recurrence ...

Paleoseismology of the Zia Fault and Its Impact on Seismic Hazard for Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA

Environmental & Engineering Geoscience
The Zia Fault is one of three major east-dipping normal faults on the western margin of the Rio Grande Rift in the northern Albuquerque Basin. Our trenches were located about 250 m south of the northern rim of the Llano de Albuquerque (LdA), where a ...

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 ...
