Dear Colleagues,
We are aiming to organize a special issue titled: Intraplate Tectonics: Earthquakes, active tectonics, and seismic hazard in regions of slow lithospheric deformation. This special issue will complement a number of recent conference sessions on Intraplate Tectonics and Seismicity that have been held at EGU, IGC, INQUA and other societies over the past number of years. The solicitation for contributions to the special issue is below. If you or your colleagues are interested in submitting an article to the special issue, please let us know a tentative title and your list of authors with affiliations by the end of April; send it directly to k.reicherter@nug.rwth-aachen.de. Anticipated deadline for submission of manuscripts 31.12.2025.
Sincerely,
The special issue guest editors: Klaus Reicherter, Beau Whitney, Tamarah King, Sambit Naik

New research challenges the assumption that only strong earthquakes cause liquefaction. Scientists from Poland demonstrated that even low-magnitude shocks (~M3.5) can trigger sediment deformation in water-saturated fine-grained sediments. This finding expands our understanding of seismic activity and its effects on geological structures.

The 2025 Hokudan meeting on active faulting was held online this year from 23-25 January. It was organised by our friend Koji Okumura. The abstract volume is now available for download here: https://home.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/kojiok/hokudan2025.html. Check it out, there’s some truly cool stuff, for example a trench with a 1700 year-old human skull in it…
These are the latest papers, this time with a lot of studies from the Americas. Enjoy reading!

Here are the latest papers on active tectonics and paleoseismology. Happy 2025 everyone!

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!

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!
