New papers on paleoseismology, active tectonics, and archaeoseismology (Oct 2024)

These are the latest papers that deal with earthquakes, tsunami, archaeoseismology, and active tectonics. Quite a number of studies from the Americas this time. Enjoy reading and let me know in case I’ve missed something. Also: If you’d like to write a post about your research, a new paper, a good tectonics field trip or the like, please get in touch!
