Paleoseismology of the Akatore Fault, Otago, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, 2020
We present the results of a paleoseismic study of the Akatore Fault in the low seismicity region of Otago, New Zealand. Two trenches reveal at least three reverse fault ruptures that are constrained to have occurred between 13,314 B.C.

Paleoseismology of the Anqiu–Juxian Fault, Tanlu Fault Zone, Reveals Evidence That It Is the Causative Fault of the 70 B.C. Anqiu Earthquake

Seismological Research Letters
The timing and surface rupture length of large earthquakes are key parameters for seismic hazard studies in the Tanlu fault zone (TLFZ). Existing studies suggest that the M 81/2 Tancheng earthquake in A.D.

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 ...

Chapter 4 Paleoseismology of Volcanic Environments

1996
Publisher 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, 1996
A 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, 2016
The 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.
