Nicole S. Khan,Nicole S. Khan,Erica Ashe,Benjamin P. Horton,Benjamin P. Horton,Andrea Dutton,Robert E. Kopp,Gilles Brocard,Simon E. Engelhart,David J. Hill,W. R. Peltier,Christopher H. Vane,Frederick N. Scatena +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a Holocene relative sea-level (RSL) database for the Caribbean region (5°N to 25°N and 55°W to 90°W) that consists of 499 sea level index points and 238 limiting dates.
Journal ArticleDOI
The recent fault scarps of the Western Alps (France) : Tectonic surface ruptures or gravitational sackung scarps ? A combined mapping, geomorphic, levelling, and 10Be dating approach
Jean-Claude Hippolyte,Gilles Brocard,Marc Tardy,Gérard Nicoud,Didier Bourlès,Régis Braucher,Gilles Ménard,Blaise Souffaché +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that there are hundreds of recent scarps, up to 30 m high and 2.1 km long, with only pure normal motions. But these scarps are mainly uphill facing, parallel to the ridge crests and contour lines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Earthquake-triggered 2018 Palu Valley landslides enabled by wet rice cultivation
Kyle Bradley,Rishav Mallick,H. Andikagumi,Judith Hubbard,Ella Meilianda,Adam D. Switzer,Nairong Du,Gilles Brocard,Dedy Alfian,Benazir Benazir,Guangcai Feng,Sang-Ho Yun,Jedrzej Majewski,Shengji Wei,Emma M. Hill +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that alluvial ground failure in the Palu Valley was a direct consequence of irrigation creating a new liquefaction hazard, and that aqueduct-supported cultivation, primarily of wet rice, raised the water table to near ground level, saturating sandy alluvia.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Caribbean–North America–Cocos Triple Junction and the dynamics of the Polochic–Motagua fault systems: Pull‐up and zipper models
Christine Authemayou,Christine Authemayou,Gilles Brocard,Gilles Brocard,Christian Teyssier,Christian Teyssier,Thibaud Simon-Labric,Thibaud Simon-Labric,A. Guttierrez,E. N. Chiquin,S. Moran +10 more
TL;DR: The Polochic-Motagua Fault System (PMFS) as mentioned in this paper is part of the sinistral transform boundary between the North American and Caribbean plates, forming a subduction-subduction-transform triple junction.
Journal ArticleDOI
What does a mean mean? The temporal evolution of detrital cosmogenic denudation rates in a transient landscape
Jane K. Willenbring,Jane K. Willenbring,Nicole M. Gasparini,Benjamin T. Crosby,Gilles Brocard +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors employ a numerical landscape evolution model to explore how 10 Be-derived denudation rates vary over time and space during transient adjustment of the South Fork Eel River (SFER).
