New Observations Disagree With Previous Interpretations of Surface Rupture Along the Himalayan Frontal Thrust During the Great 1934 Bihar‐Nepal Earthquake

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2018
Reinvestigation reveals observations that do not support prior claims that the great Mw 8.4 Bihar‐Nepal earthquake produced surface rupture along the Himalayan Frontal Thrust of Nepal.

Influence of Structural Maturity on the Rupture Morphology of the Northern Alpine Fault, Aotearoa New Zealand

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract The Alpine Fault (AF) in Aotearoa New Zealand is a fast‐slipping plate boundary fault late in its seismic cycle that presents a major source of seismic hazard. Past earthquakes have created a structural‐geomorphic record of surface ruptures that we map and analyze for the northern AF using 1,000 km2 ${\text{km}}^{2}$ of Light Detection and ...

Paleoseismic evidence of a giant medieval earthquake in the eastern Himalaya

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2016
We present here the results of a paleoseismic investigation carried across a ~10 m high fault scarp at Panijhora village, West Bengal in northeastern India. Accelerator Mass Spectrometer analyzed 14C radiocarbon age constraints from six detrital charcoal

Paleoseismology of the Xorxol Segment of the Central Altyn Tagh Fault, Xinjiang, China

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2003
Although the Altyn Tagh Fault (ATF) is thought to play a key role in accommodating India-Eurasian convergence, little is known about its earthquake history.

Impact of Anaerobic Cold Storage on Subseafloor Microbial Communities

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Sediment cores recovered from the deep sea often cannot be sampled for microbiological analysis immediately due to the need for core splitting and processing for subsequent onboard measurements and core storage. Consequently, sections are often stored at 4°C under anaerobic conditions for extended periods.

Along-strike extent of earthquakes on multi-segment reverse faults; insights from the Nevis-Cardrona Fault, Aotearoa New Zealand

open access: yesSeismica
Evaluating fault segmentation is important for our understanding of seismic hazard assessment and fault growth. However, it is still unclear what controls if reverse fault earthquakes will rupture across segment boundaries.

Lichenometry dating of coseismic changes to a New Zealand landslide complex

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2003
Lichenometry is a surface-exposure-dating procedure that complements traditional trench-and-date stratigraphic studies of earthquakes. Lichens on the surficial blocks of a slump in the Seaward Kaikoura Range, South Island, New Zealand provide ...

LiDAR and Paleoseismology Solve Earthquake Mystery in the Pacific Northwest, USA

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2021
One of the largest historical earthquakes in the U.S. Pacific Northwest occurred on December 15, 1872 near the south end of Lake Chelan. Lack of recognized surface deformation suggested that the earthquake occurred on a blind, perhaps deep, fault.

New Zealand Active Faults Database: the high‐resolution dataset v2.0

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 955-970, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The New Zealand Active Faults Database (NZAFD) contains underpinning data to help mitigate the impacts of future surface‐rupturing earthquakes in Aotearoa New Zealand. However, defining the associated hazards and risks must be undertaken at relevant scales and as such, the NZAFD contains two scale‐based datasets each serving complementary, but
