Detailed map, displacement, paleoseismology, and segmentation of the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden Fault in Haiti

Tectonophysics, 2020
The Enriquillo-Plantain Garden Fault (EPGF) ruptured several times in Haiti, producing large historical earthquakes (e.g., 18 October 1751, 21 November 1751, and 3 June 1770). Their location and lateral extents are poorly known. The most devastating one,

Ground-based and UAV-based photogrammetry : a multi-scale, high-resolution mapping tool for structural geology and paleoseismology

, 2014
This contribution reviews the use of modern 3D photo-based surface reconstruction techniques for high fidelity surveys of trenches, rock exposures and hand specimens to highlight their potential for paleoseismology and structural geology.

Subaqueous Paleoseismology: Fresh perspectives on sedimentary response to regional tectonics

, 2022
Sharp changes in lithology and increases in grain size and sedimentation rate of sedimentary sequences from tectonically active basins are often used to indicate regional neotectonic activity.

Subduction zone paleoseismology along the Pacific coast of northeast Japan — progress and remaining problems

, 2020
This paper reviews recent progress in tsunami geology and the history of coastal uplift/subsidence along the Pacific coasts of Hokkaido and Tohoku, facing the Kuril and Japan Trenches, respectively. In the last 20 years, research by tsunami geologists in

Australian paleoseismology: towards a better basis for seismic hazard estimation

Annals of Geophysics, 2003
Probabilistic seismic hazard analyses in Australia rely fundamentally on the assumption that earthquakes recorded in the past are indicative of where earthquakes will occur in the future.

Deep-water turbidites as Holocene earthquake proxies: the Cascadia subduction zone and Northern San Andreas Fault systems

Annals of Geophysics, 2003
New stratigraphic evidence from the Cascadia margin demonstrates that 13 earthquakes ruptured the margin from Vancouver Island to at least the California border following the catastrophic eruption of Mount Mazama.

On a flawed conclusion that the 1255 A.D. earthquake ruptured 800 km of the Himalayan Frontal Thrust east of Kathmandu

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016
A reexamination of the observations and analysis recently reported to conclude that an 800 km section of the Himalayan Frontal Thrust ruptured in 1255 A.D. shows that the conclusion is flawed and without merit because of misinterpretations of trench logs

Paleoseismology of silent faults in the Central Apennines (Italy): the Campo Imperatore Fault (Gran Sasso Range Fault System)

Annals of Geophysics, 2003
Paleoseismological analyses were performed along the Campo Imperatore Fault (part of the Gran Sasso Range Fault System) in order to define the seismogenic behaviour (recurrence interval for surface faulting events, elapsed time since the last ...
