Turbidite correlation for paleoseismology

Geological Society of America Bulletin
Abstract 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 ...

Large Surface‐Rupturing Earthquakes and a >12 kyr, Open Interseismic Interval on the Tintina Fault, Yukon

Geophysical Research Letters
We present the first geomorphic evidence for successive, surface‐rupturing earthquakes throughout the Quaternary on the Tintina fault in the Yukon Territory, northwestern Canada.

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 Sürgü and Çardak faults - splays of the Eastern Anatolian Fault Zone, Türkiye

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023
: The sinistral East Anatolian Fault Zone (EAFZ) and the dextral North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) are two important strike-slip faults that delimit the boundaries of the Anatolian plate.

Geological Criteria for Evaluating Seismicity Revisited: Forty Years of Paleoseismic Investigations and the Natural Record of Past Earthquakes [PDF]

, 2011
The identification of individual past earthquakes and their characterization in time and space, as well as in magnitude, can be approached in many different ways with a large variety of methods and techniques, using a wide spectrum of objects and ...
