Abstract Bedrock fault scarps and their associated colluvial wedges provide key evidence for reconstructing paleoearthquakes. We apply rock surface luminescence dating to a bedrock scarp on the Huashan fault in central China, using OSL‐depth profiles (DPs) from multiple heights. Results reveal two coseismic displacements of 6.8 and >1.0 m.

Abstract On 27 July and 25 October 2022, an Mw 7.0 earthquake and an Mw 6.4 earthquake struck Abra, northwest of Luzon, Philippines, respectively, with a time interval of less than 3 months and a distance of about 16 km. In this research, interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) was utilized to retrieve the co‐seismic surface deformation field ...

Comparison between observed and predicted landslide areas in log scale. ABSTRACT This study aims to establish a regional model for predicting seismic landslide areas. Using the 2013 Minxian earthquake‐induced landslide database as the research foundation, mathematical statistics and GIS techniques were applied to predict landslide areas through the ...

Reinforced soil technology is widely applied in slope stabilization, yet the optimal configuration of reinforcement remains a key design challenge. This study presents a comprehensive investigation of vertical rib‐reinforced and inclined‐reinforced geogrid layouts through scaled physical model tests (1:10) and finite element simulations using MIDAS GTS.

Strong Ground Motion Characteristics of the Saturated Loess Site
Significant differences exist in the ground response of saturated and unsaturated deposits to earthquakes, but few relevant studies exist on strong ground motion in saturated loess. We have selected three loess sites that are highly affected by earthquake‐induced liquefaction hazards, analyzed the nonlinear characteristics of the ground motion response

Abstract Multiple hazard risks (MHRs) in coastal zones will continue to increase due to climate change and rising sea levels. These disproportionate impacts create shared challenges that require cross‐border mitigation efforts. However, understanding how coastal areas exhibit common risk patterns and how such patterns can inform risk‐based cooperation ...

Abstract The Ilyak fault in Tajikistan is an E‐W striking strike‐slip fault, which forms the northern boundary of the actively deforming Tajik Basin fold and thrust belt. Determining the activity of the Ilyak fault is important for understanding the hazard to the nearby capital city of Dushanbe, and more generally in assessing the role of lithology in ...

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.

Tectonics, geology and origins of Te Riu‐a‐Māui / Zealandia
ABSTRACT Te Riu‐a‐Māui / Zealandia is a 95% submerged, five million square km southern hemisphere continent that includes the islands of New Zealand and New Caledonia. For the last 45 million years (Ma) Zealandia has been cut by the Pacific‐Australian plate boundary which today changes character from a west‐dipping subduction zone in the north to ...
