Seismic Activity Along the Periadriatic and Sava Faults in the Past Two Millennia—An Archaeoseismological Assessment

Geosciences
Most of the Periadriatic Fault System has been active during the Oligocene and Miocene times. Its western part seems to be almost inactive ever since, while the eastern segments show limited seismic activity.

Insights into temporal earthquake clustering from the Settlement Fault, southeastern Otago, Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 747-772, December 2025.
ABSTRACT We combine previous studies, fieldwork, lidar data, and trenching to examine late Quaternary activity of the SE‐dipping ≥23 km long Settlement Fault in the southeastern South Island. Trenching of a scarp crossing a small alluvial fan exposed a > 3 m thick sequence of folded sandy to silty fan alluvium.

Dating a Medieval Tsunami With Uranium‐Series Techniques on Caribbean Corals

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 19, 16 October 2025.
Abstract Uranium‐series dates from coral boulders constrain the timing of a medieval tsunami from the Puerto Rico Trench. Previously reported evidence for this tsunami includes hundreds of coral boulders that came to rest hundreds of meters inland on Anegada, British Virgin Islands.

Towards new research strategies: silent seismogenic areas or silent sources?

Annals of Geophysics, 2000
Some earthquakes, particularly the strongest ones, can re-occur within hundreds or thousands of years. Therefore, the areas whose "seismic history" seems to be totally lacking in information are indeed a problem.

Seismic Activity in the Celje Basin (Slovenia) in Roman Times—Archaeoseismological Evidence from Celeia

Quaternary, 2023
Searching for unknown earthquakes in Slovenia in the first millennium, we performed archaeoseismological analysis of Roman settlements. The Mesto pod mestom museum in Celje exhibits a paved Roman road, which suffered severe deformation.

Differentiating Frictionally Locked Asperities From Kinematically Coupled Zones

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Seismogenic areas on plate‐boundary faults resist slipping until earthquakes begin. The delay in slip relative to plate motion, termed slip deficit, represents plate coupling as an interseismic proxy of seismic potential. However, when a part of a frictional interface sticks together (locked), the unlocked sliding surroundings are braked and ...

Influence of Subduction Interface Geometry on Surface Displacements and Slip Processes in Cascadia

Earth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract The subduction interface geometry is particularly important for estimating interplate coupling and surface geodetic motion, which has significant implications for seismic hazard mapping. Several published Cascadia subduction interface geometries derived from different seismic data sets vary significantly from one another. However, results from

A 43,000‐Year‐Long Paleoseismic Record Along the Southern Section of the Lijiang‐Xiaojinhe Fault, Southeastern Tibetan Plateau, China

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Paleoseismic data on the timing of ground‐rupturing earthquakes can help identify the sources of historical earthquakes and define the extent of seismic rupture gaps. The Lijiang‐Xiaojinhe fault (LXF) is a left‐lateral strike‐slip fault that stretches 380 km along the southeastern margin of the Tibet Plateau, passing through the densely ...

Directions in paleoseismology

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1988
Paleoseismology is a new, rapidly evolving Earth science discipline that deals with the study of prehistoric earthquakes. It is a hybrid discipline that relies o n techniques and skills from many different Earth science specialities. Paleoseismology has provided new insight into the long‐term history of earthquakes on individual faults, thereby ...

Data‐driven distributionally robust optimization of railway alignments in earthquake‐prone regions considering active fault zone risks

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 25, Page 4321-4341, 20 October 2025.
Abstract Railway alignment design in earthquake‐prone regions faces many challenges, among which an active fault zone threat is a dominant factor. However, slight attention has been devoted in this field to the complex fault zone risks affecting alignment optimization (AO). To this end, the first‐known AO model that estimates active fault zone risks is
