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

Annals 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.

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

Geophysical 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

New 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

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

Seismica
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

Annals 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 ...

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.

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.

Paleoseismic History of the Dead Sea Fault Zone [PDF]

, 2015
International audienceThe aim of this entry is to describe the DSF as a transform plate boundary pointing out the rate of activedeformation, fault segmentation, and geometrical complexities as a control of earthquake ruptures.
