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.

Visiting the Knossos palace is mandatory when spending several days in Crete 🤩
How far the Minoan civilization has been shaped by #earthquake activity is discussed in this book:

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 👍

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 🍾👍

Montessus de Ballore (1924) cites an author (Regelmann) who describes large fissures open in Margrethausen during the 1911 #earthquake… Interpreted as probably gravitational.

Interested in intraplate tectonics?
We propose a session on #earthquake faults and deformation in SE Europe at @EGU General Assembly meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio....
Abstract submission: deadline 15/01. Opportunities of travel support: deadline 02/12

On recherche un/e étudiant/e de Master 2 pour un stage de recherche sur la paléosismologie du lac d'Antre... et plus si affinités!

Look at those table tops into the kitchen of my friends somewhere in Brittany (🇫🇷) 🤩

The Darwin forest at Agua de la Zorra, near Uspallata, Mendoza 🇦🇷, belongs to the Paramillo Formation of the Triassic Cuyo Basin

This outcrop with active Andean thrust deserved two US legends of #earthquake #geology.
Could you recognize them?

The road that crosses the range between Los Andes 🇨🇱 and Mendoza 🇦🇷 is amazing in terms of
landscape and geological features: puente del Inca (thermal concretions), landslide deposits and rockfalls.

In Argentina 🇦🇷, the activity of the Eastern and eastward verging front of the Andes is clear! You can spot it easily between the Quaternary and the folded Neogene (left pic) and in the Holocene fluvial deposits in the Mendoza region 🤩

During intra-meeting field trip, we had a look at the westward verging San Ramon fault, which causes uplift of the Cordillera (Farellones and Abanico Tertiary Fm, left pic), and shows evidence of recent activity (trench across Quaternary deposits, right pic)

#Patadays2024 in Los Andes, Chile 🇨🇱 , are ending today with a field trip to the Pacific coast.
In few words to summarize: Great science, perfect organization, friendly ambiance…
Looking forward to meeting you all next time in Guatemala 🇬🇹!

En juin dernier, j’ai participé à une campagne géophysique au large du Cotentin, avec les collègues de Brest, Cherbourg et Le Havre, sur le bateau Ifremer.
Au menu: Sismique-réflexion sparker, bathymétrie, carottages… pour caractériser la géologie offshore.

A schematic section by A. Gidon (www.geol-alp.com/h_oisans/ois...), where the hypothesis of exhumed features dating back to the Tethys extension seems to be favoured

Look at these beautiful basement #fault scarps in the Grandes Rousses Massif, western Alps, France.

Would you bet for a recent activity? Earthquake or gravitational related? Or just exhumed inherited features?

Five years after the surface-breaking Le Teil #earthquake in Southern France, and a long COVID pause, the 2 paleoEQ students -Camille & Nicolas- are about to defend their PhD. They briefly presented a preview at the final FREMTEIL meeting.

Courage les gars pour la dernière ligne droite!
