Latest papers on Paleoseismology, Active Tectonics, and Tsunamis

Summer time is publishing time! Lots of new papers are out, today we have

• archaeoseismology & rotated objects;
• paleoseismology in Korea, China, & Portugal;
• trench photomosaicking and PBRs;
• lots of tectonic geomorphology (i.e., Ximena’s paper on the Carboneras fault where I did my diploma thesis in 2004…);
• news from the Balochistan earthquake; and
• tsunamis.

Enjoy reading and tell us if something is missing!
