Twenty years of paleoseismology in Italy
Earth-Science Reviews, 2008Abstract Italy has one of the most complete and historically extensive seismic catalogues in the World due to a unique and uninterrupted flow of written sources that have narrated its seismic history since about the end of the Iron Age. Seismic hazard studies have therefore always been mainly based upon this huge mass of data.

Neotectonics, Seismology and Paleoseismology
2008Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the neotectonics of Argentine–Chilean Patagonia and overviews the active tectonics of the southernmost region of South America, which constitutes a field of relatively recent development on a national standard.

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.

Chapter 1 Introduction to paleoseismology
1996Publisher 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 ...

Paleoseismology in coastal Chile
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1996The 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.

Paleoseismology and Landslides
2013Most 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
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.

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.
