Salomon et al. find evidence for recent fault motion and call for further investigation of this potentially active fault. 🔗 Read now: seismica.library.mcgill.ca/article/view... 1103

It's generally thought to have been inactive since the Eocene. 2175

Guy Salomon @thatfaultguy.bsky.social · 03/02/2025Another PhD chapter published! We investigate the Jan 2020 M 6.4 earthquake in the Koryak Highlands, Siberia. We find that the earthquake ruptured an immature fault, orthogonal to regionally mapped structures. doi.org/10.1093/gji/...doi.orgThe 2020 Mw 6.4 Koryak Highlands earthquake illustrates hidden seismic hazards in the northern Pacific CordilleraSUMMARY.
