Climatically controlled river terrace staircases: A worldwide Quaternary phenomenon

TL;DR: A comparison of fluvial terrace sequences from around the world, based on data collected as part of International Geoscience Programme (IGCP) Project No. 449, has revealed significant patterns as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

The November 2017 Mw 5.5 Pohang earthquake: A possible case of induced seismicity in South Korea

TL;DR: Seismological and geodetic analyses combined to characterize the mainshock and its largest aftershocks, constrain the geometry of this seismic sequence, and shed light on its causal factors found that the earthquake transferred static stress to larger nearby faults, potentially increasing the seismic hazard in the area.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Quaternary uplift history of central southern England : evidence from the terraces of the Solent River system and nearby raised beaches.

TL;DR: In this article, the first appearance of the Levallois technique (a marker for MIS 9-8) and of coupe handaxes (MIS 3) was used to reconstruct the uplift history of central southern England.
Journal Article

Kinematics of the Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean Updated

TL;DR: A revised quantitative, internally consistent, kinematic model has been determined for the present-day relative plate motions in the eastern Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions, based on a combination of geological and GPS data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preservation patterns of Late Cenozoic fluvial deposits and their implications: Results from IGCP 449

TL;DR: The IGC 449 (2000-2004) data collection as discussed by the authors revealed the recognition of differing patterns of fluvial sedimentation and valley evolution over Neogene and Quaternary timescales, apparently related to different types of continental crust with different uplift/subsidence histories.
