Phalasarna was a Hellinistic port that was massively uplifted (~8 m) during the well-known 365 AD M>8 Crete #earthquake.
Perched notches are also visible in the area.

This matches very well with traces of the surface rupture visible a few km to the north on the high resolution Planet SkySat images (thank you Planet!). The offset road is the northernmost point on the overview, and I measured about 4.5 m of offset there.

10 years ago I thought I wasn't smart enough to study #geology, but some colleagues convinced me to try anyway. Today I just published my 2nd paper, which explores how fault ruptures can alter river behaviour and flood hazard. Check it out here! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Dans quelques jours, l'Institut de Radioprotection et Sûreté Nucléaire disparaît, pour fusionner avec l'Autorité de Sûreté Nucléaire.
Dans ce nouveau changement, une entité survit comme depuis sa création il y a 50 ans, surmontant toutes les réorganisations : mon laboratoire, le BERSSIN.
Fier 👍

Le cyclone #Chido, classé en catégorie 4, a dévasté l’archipel de Mayotte le 14 décembre 2024, avec des vents soufflants à plus de 220 km/h. C’est le cyclone le plus important depuis 1934. Le dernier cyclone majeur datait de 1984.

Brillant PhD thesis defense yesterday, after 3 years on such a tough topic: paleoseismology of a slow active fault in SE France. That was such a great experience to supervise your work Nicolas. Congratulations Dr Cathelin 🍾👍

Last weekend we had an amazing campaign on the Alpine-Wairau (Big) Bend of the Alpine Fault, Glenroy River. Thanks to @jameslagreca.bsky.social Liv & Alex for doing the mahi. We located THE one and only Alpine Fault outcrop in the valley and also sampled the Glenroy rock avalanche. Still buzzing!

Quick recap from todays recon of yesterdays M5.8 earthquake. Bottom line: no surface rupture observed after several transects across aftershock pattern.  Lack of any surface cracking in epicentral area. Minor bank failures, lateral spread, and liquefaction features along Walker river.

During his Master, Nicolas estimated the uplift rate around the Cévennes fault system (responsible for the 2019 M5 Le Teil #earthquake in SE France). He used 3He cosmogenic dating of fluvial terraces including basalt pebbles.
