Applications are invited for the IDASH Training Programme (Integration of Data and Approaches for Seismic Hazard Assessment in CEI Regions). The programme offers a series of online lectures delivered by international experts, focusing on methods, data, and applications for seismic hazard assessment in the CEI (Central European Initiative) region and beyond. Full information, lecture schedule,…
This time we have, among others, some nice papers on recent and not-so-recent seismites, very interesting methodological studies on paleoseismology and tectonic geomorphology, some cool coastal/offshore paleoseismology, and a few articles on earthquake geology from a hazard perspective. Enjoy reading!
Guest blog by Christopher B. DuRoss from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The Great Salt Lake is the largest low-relief, terminal basin in the western United States. In a collaborative effort led by earthquake geologists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Geologic Hazards Science Center (Golden, Colorado) and marine geophysicists from the USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center (Santa…
For some reason and it may very well just be my personal bias today s list has a lot of studies on active tectonics of the Americas and Central Asia. But then the western US and the Andes plus Central Asia make up a good portion of the total seismic moment release apart from subduction quakes, so perhaps this is not unusual. At some point I d like to make a world map showing seismic moment release…
This month we have many case studies from all around the world, including classical paleoseismology, historical data, and tectonic geomorphology. But there are also studies more leaning towards the methodological side of our discipline, and who would have thought that an entire new type of fault systems was just discovered? Enjoy reading!

Here is the latest paper list with a nice variety of topics and also geographically quite divers I think. Enjoy reading, and let me know if I have missed a paper. Hough, S. E. (2026). Only Very Strong Shaking Can Break a Tree. The Seismic Record, 6(2), 138-146. Ishimura, D., Takahashi, N., Tsutsumi, H., Homma, S., Mukoyama, S., Ichihara, T. (2026). Paleoseismic trenching on slip-partitioned…
The 7th Fault2SHA Workshop – New Frontiers in Earthquake Rupture Forecasting and Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment will take place in Vienna, Austria, from 6–8 July 2026. A few additional places have become available. If you would like to participate or know someone who will, please complete or share the registration form. The registration fee is €300. A reduced fee of €150 is available for…
This month s list has a couple of studies on the 2023 Türkiye earthquakes and the Mediterranean area. Also included are a few methodological studies that might be of interest to the paleoseismology community. Enjoy reading!
