Seismic control of large prehistoric rockslides in the Eastern Alps.
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of past seismicity and a spatio-temporal cluster of large prehistoric rockslides in the Eastern Alps has been investigated using high-resolution lacustrine paleoseismology.

An atlas of mass‐transport deposits in lakes
Maddalena Sammartini,Jasper Moernaut,Flavio S. Anselmetti,Michael Hilbe,Katja Lindhorst,Nore Praet,Michael Strasser +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identified four different types of mass movements that occur independently from the type of lake, but differ in source area, type of failure initiation, transport mechanism, and resulting mass transport deposits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time-dependent recurrence of strong earthquake shaking near plate boundaries: A lake sediment perspective
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a worldwide compilation of published long lacustrine paleoseismic records grouped per tectonic domain, and statistically explore the variability of their recurrence intervals expressed by the coefficient of variation (CoV).
Journal ArticleDOI
Interpreting Soft Sediment Deformation and Mass Transport Deposits as Seismites in the Dead Sea Depocenter
TL;DR: In this article, the history of earthquakes over the past 70kyr by analyzing disturbed sedimentary layers around the margins of the Dead Sea was studied, and it was shown that the long disturbance sequences in the depocenter are composed of in situ deformation, slump, and chaotic deposits.

Spatiotemporal clustering of great earthquakes on a transform fault controlled by geometry
Jamie Howarth,Nicolas C. Barth,Sean J. Fitzsimons,Keith Richards-Dinger,Kate Clark,Glenn P. Biasi,Ursula Cochran,Robert Langridge,Kelvin Berryman,Rupert Sutherland +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed palaeoearthquake event data that encompass the last 20 major-to-great earthquakes along approximately 320 km of the Alpine Fault in New Zealand with sufficient temporal resolution and spatial coverage to reveal along-strike patterns of rupture extent.

TL;DR: The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission produced the most complete, highest-resolution digital elevation model of the Earth, using dual radar antennas to acquire interferometric radar data, processed to digital topographic data at 1 arc sec resolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computerized transverse axial scanning (tomography): Part I. Description of system. 1973.
TL;DR: A technique in which X-ray transmission readings are taken through the head at a multitude of angles: from these data, absorption values of the material contained within the head are calculated on a computer and presented as a series of pictures of slices of the cranium.

GRADISTAT: a grain size distribution and statistics package for the analysis of unconsolidated sediments
Simon J. Blott,Kenneth Pye +1 more
TL;DR: GRADISTAT as discussed by the authors is a computer program for the rapid analysis of grain size statistics from any of the standard measuring techniques, such as sieving and laser granulometry.
The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission
TL;DR: The most complete digital topographic map of Earth was made by the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) as discussed by the authors, which used a single-pass radar interferometer to produce a digital elevation model (DEM) of the Earth's land surface between about 60 deg north and 56 deg south latitude.

The physical character of subaqueous sedimentary density flows and their deposits
Thierry Mulder,Jan Alexander +1 more
TL;DR: A simple classification of sedimentary density flows, based on physical flow properties and grain-support mechanisms, and briefly discusses the likely characteristics of the deposited sediments is presented in this paper.
