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
Normal fault scarp along the eastern Kunlun fault system, China. At the base a 60cm high free face, undated.

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...

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:

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!

Interested in the Tibetan plateau active tectonics? Check out the new paper by Xu Fang et al. just published in J. Struct. Geol. It deals with forefront folding ahead of the Longmen Shan, well know since the 2008 Mw7.8 Wenshuan earthquake.

Extensive off-fault damage around the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake surface ruptures - Nature Communications
This study uses satellite synthetic aperture radar images to quantify off-fault damage in the two 2023 Kahramanmaraş (Türkiye) magnitude 7.8 and 7.6 earthquakes. It reveals that off-fault damage consu...

We knew about off-fault deformation already, but here we see how wide the affected area can be!

Surface ruptures were already identified from the Mw 7.1 Xizang Southern Tibetan earthquake. Scarps up to 3 m. See link in Chinese but with photos mp.weixin.qq.com/s/qtB9yU9E6T...

⚒️ 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.
