New papers on paleoseismology, tsunami, and active tectonics (Feb 2016)

Here’s the February edition of my paper recommendations. This time we have:

• Paleoseismology in Germany and Nepal (the latter with a focus on charcoal dating techniques),
• Tsunamis in Greece, Portugal, Israel and Alaska,
• Turbidites in Portugal,
• New insights into the geodynamics of Mozambique,
• Fault rheology in Iran,
• Rupture jumps on strike‐slip faults, and
• A MATLAB tool for seismic hazard calculations.

Enjoy!
