Post-Last Glacial Maximum intensification of marine faulting: resolution-dependent hazard assessment

Post-Last Glacial Maximum intensification of marine faulting: resolution-dependent hazard assessment

Subsea pipelines and cables are vital to modern energy and communications, yet assessing the active geological faults they cross underwater is notoriously difficult. By examining marine fault slip rates at higher stratigraphic resolution than previously analyzed in this region, our new research shows that displacement rates accelerated tenfold after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). This …[Read More]
