The late Quaternary sedimentary fills of several lakes of the north-western Alps are revealed
to be possible paleo-seismological “archives” in a moderately active seismo-tectonic region …

The main types of seismites are reviewed following the proposed classification and are
illustrated by our own case studies. The large variety of seismites, depends on the …

The temporal distribution of earthquakes in the Dead Sea Graben is studied through a
50,000‐year paleoseismic record recovered in laminated sediments of the Late Pleistocene …

Publisher Summary Paleoseismology is the study of prehistoric earthquakes, especially their
location, timing, and size. Paleoseismology differs from more general geologic studies of …

Apennines, Italy by Livio Vezzani Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra Università di Torino …

Earthquake-induced fluidizations and suspensions of lake sediments, associated with
syndepositional faults, form a paleoseismic record in the Dead Sea graben. The association …

The aim of the study is to record the occurrence of sediment deformation structures in one of
the tectonically most active areas on the globe, the Tien Shan range in Central Asia and to …

Numerous soil gas measurements of four gaseous species with very different geochemical
behaviors were performed in the Fucino Basin, an area characterized by known and inferred …

We identify evidence for three large paleo-earthquakes in central Switzerland with moment
magnitudes (M> 6.5–7.0) significantly exceeding historically known values. These …

Earthquake hazard analyses in Italy are mainly based on historical seismic catalogs.
However, the completeness of the Italian catalog, which spans more than 2000 years …
