Seismotectonics, Geomorphology and Paleoseismology of the Doroud Fault, a Source of Seismic Hazard in Zagros [PDF]
Applied Sciences (Switzerland), 2023 In this study, the active tectonics, paleoseismicity, and seismic hazards of the Doroud Fault are examined through high-resolution satellite image interpretations, field investigations, outcrop and trench excavations, and the dating of geochronology ...

The Contribution of Paleoseismology to Earthquake Hazard Evaluations
, 2014 Paleoseismology is a relatively new method of earthquake studies at the interface betweengeology and seismology. Paleoseismic investigations have enriched the faultrupture database in some active zones (e.g., California, Turkey, and Italy) and havecontributed to a significant progress in the concept of the earthquake cycle.

Holocene surface-rupturing paleo-earthquakes along the Kachchh Mainland Fault: shaping the seismic landscape of Kachchh, Western India [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThis study explores the seismotectonics of Kachchh in western India, a region with a low-to-moderate strain rate and a history of significant earthquakes, notably the 1819, Mw 7.8 Allah Bund, and the 2001, Mw 7.6 Bhuj.

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1997 About 20 years ago, when I was a newly graduated student of geology, neotectonics in the Mediterranean area was just emerging as a popular argument and a special project was begun in Italy. At that time, nobody on the old continent dared to conceive that the clear evidence of late Quaternary faulting could be directly linked to earthquakes.

Improved NB Model Analysis of Earthquake Recurrence Interval Coefficient of Variation for Major Active Faults in the Hetao Graben and Northern Marginal Region [PDF]
EntropyThis study presents an improved Nishenko–Buland (NB) model to address systematic biases in estimating the coefficient of variation for earthquake recurrence intervals based on a normalizing function TTave.

Multivariate Statistical and Multiproxy Constraints on Earthquake‐Triggered Sediment Remobilization Processes in the Central Japan Trench [PDF]
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020 Understanding the impact of earthquakes on subaqueous environments is key for submarine paleoseismological investigations seeking to provide long‐term records of past earthquakes.

Annals of Geophysics, 1996 During paleoseismological investigations on the seismogenic structure responsible for the 1915 earthquake in the Fucino Plain (Central Italy), some trenches were excavated at the intersection between Roman-age channels and a fault characterized by ...

Progress in Paleoseismology in Japan during the 1990s. [PDF]
The Quaternary Research (Daiyonki-Kenkyu), 1999 We review progress of geological and geomorphological approaches in paleoseismology in Japan during the this decade. We emphasize the growth of active fault studies since the 1995 Kobe earthquake. Two examples of intensive trenching studies, one on the Itoshizu-Tectonic Line in central Japan, and the other on the Miura Peninsula south of Tokyo, are ...
