New papers on paleoseismology, active tectonics, and archaeoseismology (April 2023)

This is the longest list of papers we had since ages. We start with a brand new review article on recent developments in onshore paleoseismology by Jim McCalpin et al. Also in the list are plenty of papers on  classical paleoseismology and earthquake geology, a few cool tsunami studies, some fault physics, SHA, and new methods. Enjoy reading!
