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 …

Minor changes in geometry along the length of mature strike-slip faults may act as
conditional barriers to earthquake rupture, terminating some and allowing others to pass …

Turbidite palaeoseismology has produced arguably the most comprehensive multimillennial
scale records of subduction-zone earthquakes but is underpinned by techniques that are …

Turbidite records along ocean margins and in lake basins are increasingly used as
paleoseismic proxies. However, the slope remobilization processes that formed the …

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 …

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 …

Soft-sediment deformation structures associated with slumps and mass transport deposits
(MTDs) are generally considered to form at the surface when unlithified sediment moves …

In regions with moderate seismicity and large intervals between strong earthquakes,
paleoseismological archives that exceed the historical and instrumental timescale are …

Seismic hazard assessment is a critical but challenging issue for modern societies. A key
parameter to be estimated is the recurrence interval of damaging earthquakes. This requires …
