Research Highlights
Organic carbon export to the hadal seafloor triggered by large earthquakes
We have integrated state-of-the-art methods to reveal drastic export of organic carbon to the hadal trench, shedding new light on the impact of large earthquakes on the deep-sea carbon cycle.
A lake sediment perspective on time-dependent recurrence of strong earthquake shaking near plate boundaries
A worldwide review of lacustrine paleoseismology reveals contrasting recurrence patterns for strong earthquakes at plate boundaries and intra-plate settings.
Earthquake-triggered surficial remobilization at subduction zone margins
We discovered the first evidence of surficial remobilization on an active margin slope in form of three cm-scale gaps representing the strongest historical earthquakes.
