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

Quite a number of articles in this month’s paper list are concerned with what happens or happened offshore in strong earthquakes. But of course there is a also a lot of classical paleoseismology and some new approaches to dating fault slip directly from the fault gouges. Enjoy reading and drop me a note if I have missed something.
