Do Large Earthquakes Occur at Regular Intervals Through Time? A Perspective From the Geologic Record
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 We analyzed a catalog of 31 published earthquake chronologies to assess the commonality of quasiperiodic earthquake recurrence across a range of fault types and tectonic settings.

Terra Nova, Volume 37, Issue 5, Page 324-341, October 2025.ABSTRACT We analyse variations in Brune stress drop (Δσ), apparent stress (τa) and Savage–Wood radiation efficiency (ηsw = τa/Δσ) during the 2010–2014 Pollino seismic swarm (Southern Apennines, Italy). This prolonged sequence included multiple swarms, with a Mw 5.2 event in October 2012, preceded by a Mw 4.3 event in May 2012, followed by aseismic slip.

Implications of some early Jewish sources for estimates of earthquake hazardin the Holy Land
Annals of Geophysics, 2004 For the past two millennia the Holy Land was under the yoke of successive invaders and oppressors, not a fertile ground for growth of historiographic traditions.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 18, 28 September 2025.Abstract Strike‐slip faults in lacustrine environments present overlooked tsunamigenic potential. For the first time, we have reconstructed paleotsunamis triggered by strike‐slip faulting with a dip‐slip component that ruptured the lake floor. This study focuses on Lake Iznik (Türkiye), located along the middle strand of the North Anatolian Fault (MNAF)

The Manyas fault zone (southern Marmara region, NW Turkey): active tectonics and paleoseismology
Geodinamica Acta, 2017 The Manyas fault zone (MFZ) is a splay fault of the Yenice Gönen Fault, which is located on the southern branch of the North Anatolian Fault System. The MFZ is a 38 km long, WNW–ESE-trending and normal fault zone comprised of three en-echelon segments ...

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 ...

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 8, August 2025.Abstract The Eastern Alps have been influenced by post‐collisional indentation tectonics since the Miocene. Currently, Adria‐Europe convergence, albeit slow, is accommodated and distributed across several faults. The seismogenic potential of some of these faults is unclear. We applied optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and electron spin resonance (

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 14, 28 July 2025.Abstract We present the first geomorphic evidence for successive, surface‐rupturing earthquakes throughout the Quaternary on the Tintina fault in the Yukon Territory, northwestern Canada. A ∼130‐km‐long series of scarps and pressure ridges offset 2.6 Ma and 132 ka landforms by ∼500–1,500 m and 65–85 m, respectively, indicating a dextral slip rate of ∼0.

The Early Evolution of a Young Normal Fault in the Aysén Fjord, Chile
Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 7, July 2025.Abstract Seismic reflection data have been used to investigate the evolution of faults in oil and gas basins for decades and typically image deeply buried faults at low resolution, with biostratigraphic age control to date horizons at scales of 10 Myr.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 7, 16 April 2025.Abstract Deciphering how the widespread late Cenozoic conglomerates were formed across the Tibetan Plateau is crucial for understanding the competition between tectonics and climate. Here we target the mid‐Pleistocene conglomerate cap along the northern Saishiteng range (SR), North Tibet. 26Al/10Be burial dating constrains the onset accumulation of the
