Phalasarna was a Hellinistic port that was massively uplifted (~8 m) during the well-known 365 AD M>8 Crete #earthquake. Perched notches are also visible in the area. link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...

Visiting the Knossos palace is mandatory when spending several days in Crete 🤩 How far the Minoan civilization has been shaped by #earthquake activity is discussed in this book: lup.be/book/minoan-...

NASA JPL ARIA project analysis of data from Copernicus Sentinel-2 optical and Sentinel-1 radar images measured the slip on the Sagaing Fault in Myanmar. Quick preliminary map. More details later. Fault ruptured about 500 km (300 miles) in the magnitude 7.7 […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Remote surface rupture observations for the M7.7 2025 Myanmar earthquake - soft rollout! doi.org/10.5066/P1RY... Simple fault trace and slip distribution from pixel tracking, high-res from available imagery. Watch for updates! ⚒️ USGS and collaborators effort led by @nadinegrr.bsky.social 🙏

This matches very well with traces of the surface rupture visible a few km to the north on the high resolution Planet SkySat images (thank you Planet!). The offset road is the northernmost point on the overview, and I measured about 4.5 m of offset there.

Analysis of the 2024-10-05 M 4.5 Iran #earthquake signal revealed that it was a natural event, not a nuclear test seismica.library.mcgill.ca/article/view...

Here are the Proceedings of the marvellous INQUA PATA Days in Chile, last october (2024), on Active #Tectonics and #Paleoseismology : libros.uchile.cl/1446 Thanks again to the organizing team !

10 years ago I thought I wasn't smart enough to study #geology, but some colleagues convinced me to try anyway. Today I just published my 2nd paper, which explores how fault ruptures can alter river behaviour and flood hazard. Check it out here! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Dans quelques jours, l'Institut de Radioprotection et Sûreté Nucléaire disparaît, pour fusionner avec l'Autorité de Sûreté Nucléaire. Dans ce nouveau changement, une entité survit comme depuis sa création il y a 50 ans, surmontant toutes les réorganisations : mon laboratoire, le BERSSIN. Fier 👍

Le cyclone #Chido, classé en catégorie 4, a dévasté l’archipel de Mayotte le 14 décembre 2024, avec des vents soufflants à plus de 220 km/h. C’est le cyclone le plus important depuis 1934. Le dernier cyclone majeur datait de 1984. Un 🧵 [1/24] 👇

Brillant PhD thesis defense yesterday, after 3 years on such a tough topic: paleoseismology of a slow active fault in SE France. That was such a great experience to supervise your work Nicolas. Congratulations Dr Cathelin 🍾👍

Last weekend we had an amazing campaign on the Alpine-Wairau (Big) Bend of the Alpine Fault, Glenroy River. Thanks to @jameslagreca.bsky.social Liv & Alex for doing the mahi. We located THE one and only Alpine Fault outcrop in the valley and also sampled the Glenroy rock avalanche. Still buzzing!

Quick recap from todays recon of yesterdays M5.8 earthquake. Bottom line: no surface rupture observed after several transects across aftershock pattern.  Lack of any surface cracking in epicentral area. Minor bank failures, lateral spread, and liquefaction features along Walker river.

Impact of deglaciation on fault slip. I could only read the abstract right now, but this paper seems quite interesting. pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa/geology/...

First update of slip model for M 7.0 - 2024 Offshore Cape Mendocino, California Earthquake. Using closest stations (dist < 200 km). Still no selection of fault plane (both nodal planes shown). SLIPNEAR method.

During his Master, Nicolas estimated the uplift rate around the Cévennes fault system (responsible for the 2019 M5 Le Teil #earthquake in SE France). He used 3He cosmogenic dating of fluvial terraces including basalt pebbles. journals.openedition.org/quaternaire/...

New results on the deep structure of the Cévennes #fault system, responsible for the 2019 M5 le Teil surface-rupturing #earthquake in SE France. Congrats (young) Dr Thomasset!!! www.bsgf.fr/articles/bsg...

This outcrop with active Andean thrust deserved two US legends of #earthquake #geology. Could you recognize them?

Another PATA Day in NW Argentina 🇦🇷. Gracias to King Carlito Costa for the tour of the Las Peñas thrust. We're based in Mendoza for 2 nights. Having a quiet one with mates @faultcreeper.bsky.social and @stef-eq-geology.bsky.social

A post-PATA field trip across the Andes! OK sure. How do I choose 4 of the best photos?

Thanks Marco Cisternos for a field skills class on Chilean tsunami deposits N of Valparaiso in the famous tsunami gap. #PataDays2024. At right is a chemical peel of the wall highlighting the 1730 CE tsunami sand...i think

Quite a special time building relationships with international paleoseismologist colleagues Lifetime memories World class science Three happy birthday songs for Rob Could not have been better See you all en Guatemala for #PATA26 #PataDays less than 2 years from now

#Patadays2024 in Los Andes, Chile 🇨🇱 , are ending today with a field trip to the Pacific coast. In few words to summarize: Great science, perfect organization, friendly ambiance… Looking forward to meeting you all next time in Guatemala 🇬🇹!

Fantastic presentation from the famous geologist Barrientos. Plus the head emergency managers (CERT is part of their process to prepare) And a heartfelt presentation and ceremony from indigenous Mapuche woman #PATA2024 #PataDays

En juin dernier, j’ai participé à une campagne géophysique au large du Cotentin, avec les collègues de Brest, Cherbourg et Le Havre, sur le bateau Ifremer. Au menu: Sismique-réflexion sparker, bathymétrie, carottages… pour caractériser la géologie offshore. 🤩

Look at these beautiful basement #fault scarps in the Grandes Rousses Massif, western Alps, France. Would you bet for a recent activity? Earthquake or gravitational related? Or just exhumed inherited features?

Five years after the surface-breaking Le Teil #earthquake in Southern France, and a long COVID pause, the 2 paleoEQ students -Camille & Nicolas- are about to defend their PhD. They briefly presented a preview at the final FREMTEIL meeting. Courage les gars pour la dernière ligne droite!
