In case any one doubts that geomorphology and paleoseismology are unrelated. Trenching the Fuyun fault now.

If you are dealing with multiple paleoseismological sites and want to correlate dates to improve your chronology, check out the Multi Sites Chronology (MUSIC) tool that is presented in the new paper by Pinzon & Klinger. All tools are available together with the paper: www.ipgp.fr/~klinger/web...

Nice thrust in south Gobi desert, Mongolia. Could be related to the 1960 M6.7 earthquake. To be tested by dating surrounding sediment. OSL only!

Yesterday was the 30 yrs of the Mw7.3 Nuweiba 1995 earthquake, along Dead Sea Fault. It reminds us that the DSF is active, produces large earthquakes, and thus is hazardous and should not be ignored. Our new GRL paper about the DSF is out just in time : dx.doi.org/10.1029/2025...

Visiting the Mw 7.4 2021 Maduo surface rupture. Still very fresh after 4 years. A new bridge has been build next to the one that did collapse during the earthquake, pretty much the only destruction. We are in the middle of Tibetan plateau, not over crowded, better for kind of event

Transferring seismo-tectonic studies into hazard studies is very important, although often neglected by us, researcher in university lab. Here is our the new paper by S. El-Kadri, our former PhD student, about seismic hazard in Lebanon and surrounding areas: nhess.copernicus.org/articles/25/...

Implementation of an interconnected fault system in probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA): the Levant fault system

Abstract. The Levant fault system (LFS), a 1200 km long left-lateral strike-slip fault connecting the Red Sea to the East Anatolian fault, is a major source of seismic hazard in the Middle East. In th...

Today we started to deploy 40 seismic pods along the Bulnai-Tsetserleg 1905 ruptures, Mongolia, to monitor microseismicity. They we’ll record activity for 3 weeks. This is a follow up of our previous deployment last year that recorded thousands of Eq.

With colleagues from IAG and KIGAM we are hunting for past earthquakes in South Gobi, Mongolia. This looks promising and we hope dating will work well

We are opening a post-doctoral position to study earthquake ruptures and earthquake cycle based on analogue modeling. Join our group that goes from field to image processing, numerical models, all the way to analogue models, to try to understand earthquake cycle. Check out the announcement.

Active fault field class in Greece with master students from IPGP. A unique occasion to go from modern earthquake to surface rupture, to uplifted terraces, to plate tectonics in a same place. A must-do iconic trip!

⚒️ If you are puzzled by shallow slip deficit during strike-slip earthquakes, maybe diffuse deformation is part of the answer. S. Antoine et al. revisited the Ridgecrest earthquake and got ride of almost all of the SSD by better accounting for off fault deformation. dx.doi.org/10.1029/2024...
