Journal ArticleDOI
Half-precessional dynamics of monsoon rainfall near the East African Equator.
Dirk Verschuren,Jaap S. Sinninghe Damsté,Jasper Moernaut,I. Kristen,Maarten Blaauw,M. Fagot,Gerald H. Haug,Gerald H. Haug +7 more
TL;DR: It is revealed that monsoon rainfall in this region varied at half-precessional (∼11,500-year) intervals in phase with orbitally controlled insolation forcing, which can be attributed to the low-latitude position of its continental regions of surface air flow convergence, and its relative isolation from the Atlantic Ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lacustrine turbidites as a tool for quantitative earthquake reconstruction: New evidence for a variable rupture mode in south central Chile
Jasper Moernaut,Jasper Moernaut,Maarten Van Daele,Katrien Heirman,Karen Fontijn,Michael Strasser,Mario Pino,Roberto Urrutia,Marc De Batist +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a multilake turbidite record was used to estimate the magnitude, rupture locations, and extent of past subduction earthquakes in south central Chile by comparing historical reports, a paleotsunami/subsidence record, and a marine megaturbidite record.
Lacustrine turbidites as a tool for quantitative earthquake reconstruction
Jasper Moernaut,Maarten Van Daele,Katrien Heirman,Willem,Michael Strasser,Mario Pino,Roberto Urrutia,Marc De Batist +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, sedimentary data retrieved in multiple cores from several of these lakes show that turbidite deposits in these lakes accurately reflect the historical record of large megathrust earthquakes (e.g. the M w 9.5 Valdivia earthquake of 1960).
Journal ArticleDOI
The seismic-stratigraphic record of lake-level fluctuations in Lake Challa: Hydrological stability and change in equatorial East Africa over the last 140 kyr
TL;DR: In this article, seismic-reflection data from crater lake Challa (Mt. Kilimanjaro, equatorial East Africa) reveal a ∼ 210m thick sedimentary infill containing distinct seismic-stratigraphic signatures of late-Quaternary lake-level fluctuations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Giant earthquakes in South-Central Chile revealed by Holocene mass-wasting events in Lake Puyehue
Jasper Moernaut,Marc De Batist,F. Charlet,Katrien Heirman,Emmanuel Chapron,Mario Pino,Robert Brümmer,Roberto Urrutia +7 more
TL;DR: Very high resolution reflection seismic profiling (3.5 kHz) revealed nine Holocene mass-wasting events in Lake Puyehue (South-Central Chile) as mentioned in this paper.
