Most studies in this month’s list deal with the active tectonics of Asia and the Mediterranean, but we have a wide variety of different methods covered. Make sure to check out the latest applications of the ESI2007 scale. There are also very interesting papers on fault interaction and fault behaviour in general, about cascading hazards, and about quakes in lakes. And of course there is the really cool “InSAR lookbook”. Enjoy reading!
moreThis week’s list of papers has some interesting work on soft-sediment deformation and quite a number of studies from the Mediterranean region. But you’ll also find something interesting if you’re more into earthquakes in the Americas, South Korea and Central and Eastern Asia. Enjoy reading!
moreThe 2024 PATA Days took place from 6-11 October in Los Andes, Chile. This was the 11th meeting on Paleoseismology, Active Tectonics, and Archaeoseismology. The conference proceedings with all the 4-page abstracts in now available online and for download at https://libros.uchile.cl/1446.
Many thanks to the organisers for a successful conference and for the unforgettable field trips!
PATA Days are usually organised in the framework of INQUA’s TERPRO Commission.
To learn more about the past and the future of PATA Days, and to download all past abstract volumes and field trip guides, see http://pata-days.org/.
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!
