Summary: This study used physics-based dynamic rupture modeling to numerically simulate earthquakes on the Hayward fault and its connected faults. The research found that rock properties, earthquake nucleation locations, fault geometry, and fault creep patterns are crucial factors influencing the rupture behavior.

Summary: Distinguishing between seismic and aseismic fault slip in the geologic record is crucial for estimating the seismic potential of faults and the likelihood of multi-fault ruptures. This study integrated various methods to characterize vertical deformation and slip behavior within an extensional fault bend, providing important insights into seismic activity and the potential for multi-fault rupture.

Summary: This article studies the seismic history and hazard implications of the Kopili fault zone through dating liquefaction features in floodplain deposits. The results suggest that there have been two earthquake-induced liquefaction events in the past 480 years in the vicinity of the Kopili fault zone. However, further excavation and dating work is needed to precisely evaluate the frequency of major earthquakes in the KF zone.

Summary: The study investigates the influence of precedent earthquakes on the induction of forthcoming earthquakes around the circum-Pacific plate boundaries. The research shows that the cumulative Coulomb stress changes induced by precedent earthquakes can have a significant impact on the occurrence of larger earthquakes in the circum-Pacific region.

Summary: The study conducted new geological, morphotectonic, geophysical, and paleoseismological investigations on the Meduno Thrust in the eastern Southern Alps of Friuli, northeast Italy. The research area in Carnic Prealps has alluvial terraces linked to both climatic and tectonic pulses. Geophysical investigations revealed a transpressive thrust system accommodating stress at the oblique ramp of the Meduno Thrust involving all seismo-stratigraphic horizons.

Summary: By analyzing repeating aftershock sequences (RASs), this study investigates the deep postseismic slips after three large earthquakes in southern Taiwan, which are difficult to observe directly. The results show that the deep fault slips decrease logarithmically with time, suggesting creeping behavior according to the velocity-strengthening friction law. The high hydraulic pressure environment and dynamic stress perturbation may contribute to the fault creep. This study enhances our understanding of deep fault behavior and can aid in future seismic hazard assessments in Taiwan.

Summary: In the Italian Apennines, many large-magnitude faults with multi-century return times have been identified, indicating that historical records may have missed previous earthquakes. This study presents new paleoseismological findings from the Norcia fault system, revealing four Holocene predecessors with a recurrence time of 1,825 +/- 420 years in addition to the historically known 1703 earthquake. The results enhance our understanding of earthquake recurrence times in the region and contribute to a more robust assessment of seismic hazard.

Summary: The study found a systematic statistical relationship between seismic activity in Southern California since 1900 and the Palmer Drought Severity Index, with seismic peaks occurring 8 years after those of PDSI, suggesting that groundwater recharge may impact earthquakes on a multi-year time scale. However, further research and modeling are needed to confirm this theory.

Summary: The spatial distribution of large earthquakes in slowly deforming continental regions is not random, as seismic activity concentrates on specific structures. However, the long return time for large earthquakes along these structures may lead to the misconception that earthquakes in slowly deforming regions are randomly located.

Summary: Through stratigraphic, lithologic, foraminiferal, and radiocarbon analyses, it has been found that at least four abrupt mud-over-peat contacts are recorded at three different sites in northern Humboldt Bay, California, indicating regional synchroneity of subsidence. The magnitude of subsidence varied over the past four earthquake cycles in southern Cascadia, as evidenced by differences in subsidence estimates for each earthquake.

Summary: This study examines the vegetation and climate changes in central China over the past 1900 years through the analysis of sediment records from the Erxianyan wetland. The results show significant changes in water level, organic matter content, and vegetation coverage during different climate stages. The climate transitioned from warm and humid to cold and dry. The study also suggests that solar radiation, ENSO, and EASM may have influenced the climate changes in the Erxianyan wetland over the past 1900 years.

Summary: Accurate knowledge of fault geometry is crucial for seismic hazard assessment. Recent multibeam bathymetric surveys in the Gulf of Aqaba have revealed a 50-km-long fault section showing evidence of recent activation, making it a significant candidate for future earthquake ruptures. Additionally, the linear geometry of the Arnona fault and its lack of large earthquakes despite a significant slip rate suggest the potential for a major earthquake in the near future.

Summary: Through studying two adjacent fault sections within the constraining stepover, it was found that the fault slip rate is approximately 5 mm/yr, with three to four paleoseismic events occurring in 1489 AD, 620-515 BC, 4475-3700 BC, and 6265-4510 BC. The most recent seismic event might jump over the restraining stepover, while older events may be arrested by the stepover.

Summary: This study used highly efficient DNA capture techniques to obtain 48 complete mitochondrial genomes from individuals in Guangxi and Fujian in China, reconstructing their maternal genetic history over the past 12,000 years. The findings reveal a strong connection between southern East Asians dating to around 12,000-6000 years ago and present-day Southeast Asians, as well as increased interactions between northern and southern East Asians over time. Dynamic connections between ancient southern East Asians and populations in surrounding regions are also highlighted, along with a shift in maternal genetic structure within the populations over time.

Summary: The study of a high-resolution coral Delta C-14 record from the leeward side of the Big Island of Hawai'i provides insights into the pre- and post-bomb era changes. Seasonal cycles, La Nina years, and Sverdrup dynamics are all reflected in the record, indicating climate variability in the subtropical North Pacific.

Summary: The study revisited a core retrieved from the Colombian Basin and used a surface water radiocarbon reconstruction from the Cariaco Basin to refine the age model of the last deglaciation period. The decrease in benthic delta C-13 and B/Ca began around 18,100 years BP, synchronous with changes in the Antarctic Ice Sheet and rapid glacier recession in the Southern Hemisphere.

Summary: This study investigates the timescale of salt marsh reestablishment in Netarts Bay, Oregon following the 1700 CE earthquake. The results show that the coseismic subsidence lasted for 200 years before transitioning to the modern high marsh. This research provides insight into the intertidal morphodynamic response to large perturbations along tectonically active margins.
