The 2025 Hokudan International Symposium on Active Faulting will be held online from 23-25 January, 2025. Abstracts are due December 25th, deadline for registration is January 15th. Please visit the meeting website for the circular and further information: https://home.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/kojiok/hokudan2025.html. The main theme will be “Active fault research for better preparedness for earthquakes”. Another session will commemorate the eminent researchers who contributed a lot for the past Hokudan meetings and who passed away since the 2020 meeting.

Jacek Szczygieł is looking for a Postdoc (2 years) for his project “Enhancing Paleoseismological Records through Multi-Methods Cave Deformation Analysis Tested in Diverse Hellenides Tectonic Regimes.” 

The postdoc will be responsible for coordinating and obtaining input data for the FEM analysis and performing FEM modeling of speleothems.

Application deadline is the 14th of January

In this month’s paper list there are a lot of studies on the US, Greece, and New Zealand, plus interesting stuff from Russia and China and on tsunamis. But don’t miss the methodological papers, for example on underwater photogrammetry. Happy reading!

Tejpal Singh and his colleagues are organizing a workshop on Observing Ground Deformation From Space And In The Field. It will take place from 16-19 December, 2024, in Chandigarh at the foot of the Himalayas. Here’s the details:

There is PhD position with the Ngā Ngaru Wakapuke program in “Understanding earthquake sequences using near- and on-fault paleoseismology on the western Marlborough Fault System”. To work with leading paleoseismologists from VUW (J Howarth) & GNS.

These are the latest papers, and this time they really have a huge spatial coverage. Enjoy reading and let us know if we’ve missed something!

The 4th International Conference on Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions (SAHC2025) will take place from 15 – 17 September, 2025, in Lausanne. There will be a session on “New perspectives in Archaeoseismology” (SS-7), chaired by Philippe Garnier. Abstract submission deadline is 20 October, 2024, but likely to be prolonged.

These are the latest papers that deal with earthquakes, tsunami, archaeoseismology, and active tectonics. Quite a number of studies from the Americas this time. Enjoy reading and let me know in case I’ve missed something. Also: If you’d like to write a post about your research, a new paper, a good tectonics field trip or the like, please get in touch!

These are the latest papers, including classical paleoseismology and some conceptual/review works. Lots of studies on Türkiye, Greece, and China this time! Enjoy reading and let us know in case we’ve missed something interesting.
