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

These are the latest papers that I came across last month. This time we have a number of studies on strong historical earthquakes and their geological (and archaeological) record, classical paleoseismology that sometimes worked, sometimes not, tectonic landscapes, and much more. Enjoy reading!
