The Po Plain is a low-relief area characterised by active shortening accommodated by blind
thrust faulting. In this almost flat region depositional rates are similar to tectonic rates and …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes the common techniques used on-land to collect
field data in most paleoseismic investigations, regardless of the tectonic setting. The …

Abstract The New Madrid seismic zone of the central Mississippi River valley has been
interpreted to be a right-lateral strike-slip fault zone with a left stepover restraining bend …

The Kachchh region of Western India is a pericratonic basin experiencing periodic high
magnitude earthquakes events. In 2001 a catastrophic seismic event occurred at Bhuj …

The earthquake cycles that characterize continental-interior areas that are far from active
plate boundaries have proven highly cryptic and difficult to resolve. We used a novel …

Earthquakes present severe hazards for people and economies and can be primary drivers
of landscape change yet their impact to river-channel networks remains poorly known. Here …

Although dynamic stress changes associated with the passage of seismic waves are thought
to trigger earthquakes at great distances, more than 60 per cent of all aftershocks appear to …

Tie channels connect rivers to floodplain lakes on many lowland rivers and thereby play a
central role in floodplain sedimentology and ecology; yet they are generally unrecognized …

The Rhine-Meuse river system has been studied extensively over the past few decades. The
Netherlands' coastal prism formed in response to Holocene sea level rise and buried the …

The study investigates interactions, water and sediment exchanges, between a rapidly
migrating meander and its associated floodplain at fine temporal and spatial scales. The …
