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.
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.
