New research in #Geosphere presents the first systematic investigation of paleoearthquake timing along the Western Nepal fault system, a major fault zone that cuts obliquely across the high Himalaya in Nepal.
Our study shows that all trenched faults ruptured during the Holocene, suggesting the potential for complex multifault ruptures and highlighting additional seismic hazards within the upper plate of the Himalayan megathrust, with possible linkages to megathrust earthquakes.

The #PATADays in #Chile continues with incredible talks and awesome fieldwork. Such a great blend of learning about faults and having unique discussions about number of earthquakes clubbed with presentations.

Rätsel um verlassenes spanisches Dorf gelöst: #RWTH-Geologe Prof. Klaus Reicherter @ActiveFaults kommt in Südspanien einem „lost #earthquake“ auf die Spur. Auch im Rheinischen Revier sucht er nach vergangenen Ereignissen 😀:

I actually dislike it. I don't like the 45 angle and the trench wall surface being scrapped that way, which will disturb the sediments and discontinuities and force a much longer hand scrapping... Nah.
consortia meeting, stakeholder workshop and IGCS summer school at the @iitmadras. We used AOP, CDI and effect-based tools to reduce the toxicological footprint of textil wastewater in a big textil cluster in India. @INDOGSTC@BMBF_Bund@ActiveFaults@goetheuni@RWTH
