  • Looking for the 2023 trenchiest trench pictures

    2023-07-26 | Francesca Ferrario in Uncategorized

    Hey paleoseismicity nerds!

    At the wonderful Inqua meeting in Rome I saw plenty of presentations and posters with trench pictures. After the first edition in 2022, it’s time to look for the trenchiest trench pictures of 2023. Here’s what you need to do:

    1. Take a break from your too-serious-work
    2. Open the folder with all the field photos
    3. Choose the best/funniest/strangest ones
    4. Smile
    5. Post them on Twitter and tag @GingerFault or send me an email since the bird app is quickly agonizing.

    This year categories include “trench with a view”, “the devil is in detail”, “holy cow!”, “trench mindfulness” plus other random stuff which I cannot reveal right now since I still have to figure them out.

  • AGU Session S014 – Field observations, instrumental and high-resolution satellite imaging: A vision of improved active tectonics/paleoseismology hazard assessment.

    2023-07-24 | Christoph Grützner in Meeting

    AGU has lots of interesting sessions to offer for paleoseismologists. Our colleague Pia Victor invites contributions to her session with Shreya Arora, Laurence Audin, Christie D Rowe, Alba Mar Rodriguez Padilla: Field observations, instrumental and high-resolution satellite imaging: A vision of improved active tectonics/paleoseismology hazard assessment.

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

    2023-07-03 | Christoph Grützner in Paper

    For many geologists the field season is up ahead or has already started, but perhaps you will find some time to read through the latest literature? Or you can use the winter season in the southern hemisphere to enjoy a good read? It would be a pity to miss some of these really interesting studies. Enjoy!

    INQUA summer school on Active Faults and Volcano-Tectonics, 25-28 September, Naples (Italy)

    2023-06-27 | Christoph Grützner in PATA days

    INQUA TERPRO’s project TPPT had decided to not organise PATA Days in the years with an INQUA congress, but instead to run a much smaller summer school for ECRs and DCRs. The summer school on Active Faults and Volcano-Tectonics will be held from 25-28 September in Naples (Italy). The event will be hosted by DiSTAR (Department of Earth Sciences, Enviroment and Resources , University of Naples «Federico II»).

    The first two days will include lectures by researchers who will present state of the art studies on active faults. The second part includes two field trips in areas crucial for understanding active faults and the interplay between tectonics and volcanic activity. Download the circular (PDF) here.

  • New developments in onshore paleoseismic studies

    2023-05-02 | Francesca Ferrario in Paper

    A new paper has been recently published in Quaternary International, summarizing the “New developments in onshore paleoseismic methods, and their impact on Quaternary tectonic studies”.

    The paper is the result of a cooperative effort (12 authors from 6 different countries and 3 continents) led by Jim McCalpin. Sorry for the paywall, feel free to contact me or the other authors – we will be more than happy to share our work!

    Two open positions at NOAA/NWS/Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Honolulu, HI

    2023-04-11 | Christoph Grützner in Jobs

    Jonathan Weiss informed me about these two interesting positions in Honolulu:

    The NOAA/NWS/Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) in Honolulu, Hawaii has openings for two duty scientists that are now being advertised on USAJOBS with a closing date of April 24, 2023. The positions are at the GS-12 and GS-13 level depending on candidate qualifications and are for either geophysicists, oceanographers, or physical scientists who want to work in a real-time operational environment and conduct applied research related to natural hazards.

    Destructive tsunamis are rare – major events occur only a few times each century – and we don’t know in advance when one will be generated. The critical work begins when PTWC seismic alarms sound. Duty scientists quickly assess the earthquake location and size, issue warning messages to nearby coastal communities, and conduct further analysis to determine source mechanism details, which are used as input to numerical tsunami forecast models. Data from sea-level stations confirm tsunami generation and additional messages with forecasts and observations are issued to responsible agencies, the media, and the public. In addition to 24/7 monitoring of global seismic, volcanic, and ocean activity, PTWC scientists apply their scientific and technical skills to advancing global tsunami warning capabilities by improving the speed and accuracy of tsunami source detection and characterization, the quality of tsunami models and forecasts, and the efficacy of warning dissemination. PTWC also conducts education and outreach to partners and the public.

    If you are intrigued by the earth and ocean and want to use your knowledge to save lives and property from the hazardous impacts of earthquakes and tsunamis, consider applying for these positions and/or distribute this announcement to potentially interested and qualified colleagues.Unfortunately, the positions are for US citizens only.

Paleoseismicity.org is a page dedicated to scientists and everyone else interested in paleoseismology, archeoseismology, neotectonics, earthquake archeology, earthquake engineering and related topics. Different authors irregularly write about recent papers, field work, problems, conferences or just interesting things that they come across. We intend to provide a platform for discussion and scientific exchange. Interested in joining as an author? Please contact us!
