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:
nhess.copernicus.org/articles/25/...

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...

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!

If you missed the amazing talks at the workshop Lithodef25 last February in IPGP, you can now screen most of them on IPGP YouTube channel. Enjoy!

You might also be interested by this work by Z. Liu who looked at the evolution of the creep along the East Anatolian Fault during inter-seismic and post-seismic time periods, following the Turkish 2023 earthquake sequence.

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.

A bit of reading for the coming week-end. Check out our newly published paper about vertical deformation in Tibet by Liu S. et al.

We knew about off-fault deformation already, but here we see how wide the affected area can be!
Check out the new paper by J. Liu et al. about the Kahramanmaras earthquake, using SAR data, just published : www.nature.com/articles/s41...

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...

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...

⚒️ Looking for a PhD in numerical modeling about earthquake cycle and surface deformation using Discrete Element Modelling?
Join us at IPGP, open position to start next Fall 2025.
Possibilities of funding for master internship prior to PhD if needed.

For information and application, just email me.

⚒️ 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.

⚒️ To be added to your winter reading list, N. Pinzon new paper about the Altyn Tagh fault: Earthquakes, offsets, rupture scenario, definitively not a 4 pages paper :)

For my first post on Bluesky, what's better than making the case for our new paper just out in Geophy. Res. Letters.
Evidence for pre-earthquakes damage modulating the 2008 Wenchuan event rupture. Check it out here:
