An optional pre-conference field trip will explore the plate boundary between N America and the Caribbean, including visits to paleoseismological trenches.

The workshop will be held in Antigua Guatemala, including talks and posters as well as walking tours to see earthquake damage in the city.

Registration is open for the 2026 PATA Days in Guatemala. 1-6 February, 2026

PATA = Int'l workshop on Paleoseismology, Active Tectonics, Archaeoseismology.

Germany: for planes, using dip direction / dip angle.
E.g., 141/78 = the plane dips steeply to the southeast.
Preferably measured with a Breithaupt or Freiberger compass.

Very useful:

Good morning, here's an offset moraine for you. It can be found near Cusco, Perú: maps.app.goo.gl/obDVhAGXupdz... on the Pachatusan Fault. If the moraines are LGM (∼10–45 ka), the offset implies a slip rate of 0.4–2.0 mm/yr.
