  • 8ᵗʰ International Colloquium on Historical Earthquakes, Palaeo- Macroseismology and Seismotectonics

    2023-03-06 | Christoph Grützner in Meeting

    Main topics are: Historical Earthquakes, Palaeoseismology, Archaeoseismology,
    Macroseismology, Seismotectonics. A special session will be dedicated to the recent catastrophic
    earthquakes in SE Turkey and Northern Syria. On the third day a field trip will be organized that
    will include visits to the ruins of the 1953 earthquakes, damages that occurred due to the 2014
    earthquakes, expression of active tectonics and an overall experience of the morphology/landscape
    of the island, as a result of intense seismotectonic activity.

    New papers on paleoseismology, active tectonics, and archaeoseismology (Mar 2023)

    2023-03-01 | Christoph Grützner in Paper, Uncategorized

    Besides the classical paleoseismology studies in today’s list, we have some papers that deal with secondary and cascading effects of earthquakes, such as landslides and diseases, and interesting new findings on short term and long-term tectonic geomorphology. Enjoy reading!

  • New paper on Archaeoseismological Evidence of Seismic Damage at Medina Azahara (Córdoba, Spain) from the Early 11th Century by Rodríguez Pascua et al.

    2023-02-17 | Christoph Grützner in Paper

    The UNESCO World Heritage site “Caliphal City of Medina Azahara” in southern Spain was built in the 10th Century by the first Caliph of al-Andalus, Abd al-Rahman III. The destruction and consequent abandonment of the city were thought to result from a civil war between 1009/10 AD. In a new paper, Rodríguez Pascua et al. investigate the role of an earthquake in the sudden abandonment and ruin of the city. They identified eleven types of Earthquake Archaeological Effects (EAEs), including dropped key stones in arches, tilted walls, conjugated fractures in brick-made walls, conjugated fractures and folds in regular pavements, and dipping broken corners in columns. More than 150 structural measurements imply mean ground motion direction of N140°–160° E. This indicates oriented damage to the buildings. From recent events such as the Lorca Earthquake we know that this pattern can be caused by earthquakes. The authors conclude that probably two strong earthquakes with intensities ≥VIII MSK/EMS occurred in the 11th and 12th centuries AD.

    New papers on paleoseismology, active tectonics, and archaeoseismology (Feb 2023)

    2023-02-04 | Christoph Grützner in Paper | one response

    This months edition of the paper list surely has something interesting for everybody – a wide variety of papers both geographically and thematically. There are classical paleoseismology studies, submarine and tsunami stuff, archaeoseismology, fault physics, and much more from all around the globe. Enjoy reading and let me know if I have missed something.

  • Winter School On Active Tectonics And Climate Change Driven Landscape Evolution

    2023-01-03 | Christoph Grützner in Meeting

    INQUA TERPRO‘s project Lemon will run a winter school on “Active Tectonics And Climate Change Driven Landscape Evolution” from 16-19 January, 2023, in Palermo, Sicily.

    1. During the 16th and 17th of January, there will be talks by young and experienced researchers. Attendants are invited to share research and gather helpful tips and new collaborations through Pico-Talks (a 5-minute speech followed by an interactive Q&A session).
    2. During two days of fieldwork, experienced researchers will show crucial locations in western Sicily (the 18thand 19th of January).

      To date, scheduled field trips are:

    • Relative sea-level changes evidence in the Vito Peninsula (led by Fabrizio Antonioli);
    • Active tectonics and its interaction with sea level changes in South Western Sicily (led by Luigi Ferranti & Pierfrancesco Burrato);
    • Archaeo-seismological evidence of historical earthquakes within the Archaeological Park of Segesta (led by Carla Bottari).

    Please follow the link for detailed information on the Winter School:

    2023 International Summer School on Rockslides and Related Phenomena in the Kokomeren River Basin (Kyrgyzstan) (ICL Kokomeren Summer School)

    2022-12-19 | Christoph Grützner in Field work

    Alexander Strom and Kanatbek Abdrakhmatov will run their famous summer school again after it had to be cancelled due to Covid-19. The summer school is designed for students and will take place from 14-29 August, 2023, in Kyrgyzstan. The topics include mass movements, neotectonics, and geomorphology in the epicentral area of the M7.2 1992 Suusamyr Earthquake. Find all the details in the announcement below.

    New papers on paleoseismology, active tectonics, and archaeoseismology (Dec 2022)

    2022-12-01 | Christoph Grützner in Paper | one response

    This is the last paper round-up in 2022. We have a lot of research on historical earthquakes and Asian tectonics. Don’t miss the new paper by Nurminen et al. on the updated surface rupture database. Enjoy reading!
    (UPDATE 2022-12-02: I’ve added the new Alsop et al. paper because the free-to-read link expires in 50 days…)

Paleoseismicity.org is a page dedicated to scientists and everyone else interested in paleoseismology, archeoseismology, neotectonics, earthquake archeology, earthquake engineering and related topics. Different authors irregularly write about recent papers, field work, problems, conferences or just interesting things that they come across. We intend to provide a platform for discussion and scientific exchange. Interested in joining as an author? Please contact us!
