New papers on paleoseismology, tsunami, and active tectonics (April 2018)

This month’s list of active tectonics papers contains a lot of tsunami and landslide studies, and some great stuff from Asia. Plus, New Zealand is in the focus of a number of papers. I guess it’s just about the right time period after the Kaikōura EQ to have a paper written and through review…

Enjoy reading and happy Easter!
