Event deposits in lake sediments provide invaluable chronicles of geodynamic and climatic
natural hazards on multi-millennial timescales. Sediment archives are particularly useful for …

Accurate probabilistic seismic hazard analysis requires a good knowledge of the recurrence
parameters of the strongest earthquakes in a region. Due to the typical short temporal span …

Landslides are common in aquatic settings worldwide, from lakes and coastal environments
to the deep sea. Fast-moving, large-volume landslides can potentially trigger destructive …

Infrequent extreme events such as large earthquakes pose hazards and have lasting
impacts on landscapes and biogeochemical cycles. Sediments provide valuable records of …

Historical and paleoseismic records in south-central Chile indicate that giant earthquakes on
the subduction megathrust–such as in AD1960 (M w 9.5)–reoccur on average every∼ 300 …

Recent studies suggest that mass‐transport complexes can be vertically compartmentalized
(ie contain multiple internal units or sub‐units), either by amalgamation of successive mass …

Since the publication of Paleoseismology (2nd Edition) in 2009, there has been no
comprehensive survey of new trends in Quaternary tectonics. This paper seeks to remedy …

Subaquatic mass movements are common in marine and lacustrine environments, but due
to their barely predictable nature, direct observations of these processes are limited so that …

In-situ soft sediment deformation structures (SSDS) are commonly used as paleoseismic
indicators in marine and lacustrine sedimentary records. Earthquake-related shear can …

According to paleoseismological studies, the last earthquake that ruptured the Main Frontal
Thrust in western Nepal occurred in 1505 AD. No evidence of large earthquakes has been …
