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

Earthquake history of the Yatağan Fault (Muğla, SW Turkey): implications for regional seismic hazard assessment and paleoseismology in extensional provinces

, 2021
The southern part of the Western Anatolia Extensional Province is governed by E-W-trending horst-graben systems and NW-SE-oriented active faults. The NW-striking Yatağan Fault is characterised by an almost pure normal sense of motion with a minor dextral

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.

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.

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.

Paleoseismic trenching on slip-partitioned surface ruptures associated with the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake

Seismica
Surface 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.

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

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.
