For some reason–and it may very well just be my personal bias–today’s list has a lot of studies on active tectonics of the Americas and Central Asia. But then the western US and the Andes plus Central Asia make up a good portion of the total seismic moment release apart from subduction quakes, so perhaps this is not unusual. At some point I’d like to make a world map showing seismic moment release vs. number and distribution of scientific studies…
Enjoy reading and please let me know if I’ve missed something.

New papers on paleoseismology, active tectonics, and archaeoseismology (June 2026)
2026-06-01 | in PaperThis month we have many case studies from all around the world, including classical paleoseismology, historical data, and tectonic geomorphology. But there are also studies more leaning towards the methodological side of our discipline, and who would have thought that an entire new type of fault systems was just discovered? Enjoy reading!

New papers on paleoseismology, active tectonics, and archaeoseismology (March 2026)
2026-03-02 | in PaperA new month, a new list. Those who attended the PATA Days in Guatemala (a report will follow!) will recognise the first three papers. There is a lot more interesting science to read this time. Enjoy and let us know if we’ve missed something. Oh – and many thanks to all of you who send links to their papers once published.

2025-09-02 | in Paper | one responseWhat a long list we have today! Perhaps a bit more seismic hazard-focussed than usual, but there’s even a study on active faulting and seismic hazard on the moon. Apart from that there are many papers on Asia this time. Enjoy reading and please let us know about your new research for next month’s list.
