Research Highlights
Tectonic driver for the carbon cycle
We have used novel methods to analyze sediment deposits in the Japan Trench, in order to get new insights into the carbon cycle in the deep sea.
Larger earthquakes recur more periodically
A team around Jasper Moernaut presents new constraints on the recurrence pattern of Chilean megathrust earthquakes through the investigation of the turbidite records in lakes.
Lake-sediment based paleoseismology: Limitations and perspectives from the Alps
Our recent review-paper compiles results of more than 15 years of lake-sediment based on paleoseismology research in the Alps.
