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 ...

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.

Application of Tree-Ring Analysis to Paleoseismology [PDF]
Reviews of Geophysics, 1997 Knowledge of a region's seismicity is one of the keys to estimating earthquake hazards. Unfortunately, historical records are generally inadequate for evaluations of seismicity. Paleoseismology addresses this problem using various techniques for dating earthquake‐disturbed materials.

SeismicaSurface ruptures appear over a wide area in addition to the primary fault during a Large earthquake like the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake. Although the displacement of such distributed surface ruptures is small, information on their paleo activities provides

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.

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 ...
