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!

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.

These are the latest papers that I came across last month. This time we have a number of studies on strong historical earthquakes and their geological (and archaeological) record, classical paleoseismology that sometimes worked, sometimes not, tectonic landscapes, and much more. Enjoy reading!

Our colleagues from the Active Fault & Earthquake Hazard Mitigation Institute at Pukyong National University in Busan (South Korea) advertise a PostDoc position in their team. Here’s the details:

Thanks Sambit Prasanajit Naik for sharing!

Quite a number of articles in this month’s paper list are concerned with what happens or happened offshore in strong earthquakes. But of course there is a also a lot of classical paleoseismology and some new approaches to dating fault slip directly from the fault gouges. Enjoy reading and drop me a note if I have missed something.

Our colleague Gregory De Pascale advertises a PhD position in Iceland:

Do you want to do your PhD in Earth Sciences and research on an exciting Plate boundary in the North Atlantic? Earthquakes are the outcome of plate tectonic motions and important geological hazards and Iceland is a world class laboratory to study these complex systems. Although abundant modern seismicity including historic damaging events and complex tectonic and volcanic interactions are observed, little is known about the active faults, generally normal and strike slip, in Iceland that are responsible for these earthquakes and have an important control on eruptive centers.

The HI (i.e. University of Iceland)-based PhD student that will live in Reykjavik and will focus on the active faults in Iceland in a funded 3-year PhD in Geology project under the supervision of Associate Professor Gregory De Pascale. Applicant must be functional in written and spoken English. Start date is second half of 2024. This will be part of the Faculty of Earth Science and the Institute of Earth Sciences based in Reykjavik.

Our colleague Jacek Szczygieł from the University of Silesia in Katowice (Poland) has received funding for the project “Enhancing Paleoseismological Records through Multi-Methods Cave Deformation Analysis Tested in Diverse Hellenides Tectonic Regimes.” As part of this project, there are two open positions: a 4-year PhD student and a 2-year postdoc. Currently, there is no official application process in the online system, but this will follow, soon. If anyone has any questions, feel free to contact Jacek directly: jacek.szczygiel@us.edu.pl
