📢Fresh off the press Unexpected latest Pleistocene W-dipping reverse fault-slip in the Maritimes Alps (SE France)—Insights from passage offset in Mescla Cave Now available in J. Of Quaternary Science onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... All started from discussion on PATAdays22 @paleoseismology

Survivors of the 1 September 2025 earthquake in Afghanistan have correctly assessed that rainfall-triggered landslides are much more likely in the aftermath of the mainshock. This illustrates how landslides extend the impact of an earthquake in time and space. www.reuters.com/business/env...

Tom Rockwell (Distinguished Lecture) kicking off the 2025 SCEC meeting! Small offset per event (smaller magnitude) produces narrower damage zone in nearby rocks. Serves as a proxy for max magnitude per rupture event. #scecmeet #scec2025 🧪

Southern California’s San Fernando Valley has high earthquake hazard. A new #SRL study reveals the basin’s geometry and unmapped faults at depth. ⚒️ pubs.geoscienceworld.org/ssa/srl/arti...

Subaquatic #paleoseismology is a great tool to reconstruct past #earthquakes! But which components of #shaking are the #turbidites we study actually recording? 🤔 💡📢 Find out in my latest #publication ⏬ @seismosocam.bsky.social Another step closer to #quantitative paleoseismology! 👩‍🔬🥳

Excited to see this product from our Cascadia Paleoseismology Working Group (CPAL) out! Huge shoutout to Lydia Staisch for spearheading this effort along with lots of input from the coastal paleoseismology community. Check it out for all of your paleoseismic dataset needs!

PATA Days 2026 in Guatemala – Registration open! www.pata2026.org The 2026 international workshop on Paleoseismology, Active Tectonics, and Archeoseismology will be held in Guatemala to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1976 Guatemala M7.5 Earthquake.

CRESCENT'S Diego Melgar was featured in a Scientific American article about the recent magnitude 8.8 earthquake in Russia. Check it out here: www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-...

Kamchatka 8.8 magnitude earthquake

It appears that the Mw8.8 of yesterday triggers outer-rise extensional #earthquakes 👇. Outer-rise earthquakes break the oceanic plate seaward from the trench. They may be large. Little more south, the Mw8.1 of Jan 2007 (outer-rise) followed the Nov 2006 Mw8.3 #Kuril #megathrust #earthquake. ⚒️ 1/2

Sorry, only in german: Heute - mitten in der Nacht mein Interview zum Erdbeben auf Kamtschatka und folgenden Tsunami im Pazifik im RTL Nachtjournal Spezial 👇 . Gibt es in der RTL-Mediathek oder (auf email Anfrage) bei mir zum Download.

When #cave columns are compressed and a bunch of fallen stalactites are lying around, one knows something more than just a gravity breakdown happened 😁 Hunting for #earthquakes traces in caves on Crete with @christospennos.bsky.social @ncn.gov.pl @paleoseismicity.bsky.social

25 years ago, DISS was taking its first steps...It has come a long way since then! diss.ingv.it

In a new #SRL paper, a team of scientists generated a new moment magnitude catalog for northeastern Italy and surrounding regions that can be used for applications like seismic hazard assessment. For more information, check out the paper. ⚒️ pubs.geoscienceworld.org/ssa/srl/arti...

2h on Crete and already such a beauty 🤩 Surface rupture of the Lastros Fault doi.org/10.1016/j.te... We are heading even further east to look for more of those that have not been studied, and of course look for some deformation in caves @ncn.gov.pl @paleoseismicity.bsky.social

Great new open access paper - “Newly Identified Creeping Strand of the Concord Fault, San Francisco Bay Area”. I was able to go check out the area with the authors last summer. Super neat! Link - pubs.geoscienceworld.org/ssa/srl/arti...

A fascinating new paper (Faral et al. 2025) provides details of the seismically-triggered 22 November 1815 Gejer Bali landslide cascade and tsunami that killed up to 12,000 people in what is now Indonesia:- eos.org/thelandslide...

This review paper is a fascinating read for those interested in land surface hazard cascades.

🚨 New Research Alert! 🚨 Some manuscripts take time; this one took a bit more. Thrilled to share the third article from my PhD work, now online! 📍First paleoseismic evidence in easternmost Kachchh Mainland Fault, near the 2001 Bhuj epicentre. @paleoseismicity.bsky.social @inquaecr.bsky.social

Update from Cores to Code: Last week, students visited coastal sites to study past land-level changes. They learned to take and describe sediment cores and conduct elevation surveys — gaining hands-on experience in paleoseismology. Stay tuned as they bring their data back to the lab!

Very happy to share this documentary that documents some of the work of our team and our collaborators in learning more about the earthquakes of Central Asia. @jrarrowsmith.bsky.social

Great first few days in the field with the @cascadiaeqs.bsky.social Cores to Code undergraduate research program. The students are already expert paleoseismologists! We took cores, described stratigraphy, and they found their first earthquake evidence! All in a good few days work in Humboldt Bay 🌊🌊

New papers on paleoseismology, active tectonics, and archaeoseismology (June 2025) paleoseismicity.org/new-papers-o...

fruitful week in the #caves of the Drama Basin, Greece. We found some bedrock deformations, broken speleothems, and massive collapses. Now it's time to deal with the samples. 24 samples from 5 caves, sounds like a promising start to Bahadir's PhD project @ncn.gov.pl @paleoseismicity.bsky.social

A number of really cool open positions on active tectonics in Aotearoa/New Zealand and Germany paleoseismicity.org/a-number-of-...

The Birchgletscher collapse shook the Matterhorn! Not really a surprise but a fun fact that the collapse of the Birchgletscher is clearly visible at our high-altitude seismic station Solvay 4003 m a.s.l. up on the Hörnliridge (bottom left).

We are opening a post-doctoral position to study earthquake ruptures and earthquake cycle based on analogue modeling. Join our group that goes from field to image processing, numerical models, all the way to analogue models, to try to understand earthquake cycle. Check out the announcement.

The new version of DISS (Database of Individual Seismogenic Sources) is now available! This new version improves the seismogenesis model for Italy and surroundings, providing researchers, professionals, and decision-makers with a modern tool for consultation and investigation. diss.ingv.it
