Reconstructing paleoseismic deformation, 2: 1000 years of great earthquakes at Chucalén, south central Chile (2014)
Journal Article
Garrett, E., Shennan, I., Woodroffe, S., Cisternas, M., Hocking, E., & Gulliver, P. (2015). Reconstructing paleoseismic deformation, 2: 1000 years of great earthquakes at Chucalén, south central Chile. Quaternary Science Reviews, 113, 112-122. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2014.10.010

In this paper we adopt a quantitative biostratigraphic approach to establish a 1000-year-long coastal record of megathrust earthquake and tsunami occurrence in south central Chile. Our investigations focus on a site in the centre of the rupture segme... Read More about Reconstructing paleoseismic deformation, 2: 1000 years of great earthquakes at Chucalén, south central Chile.

Great tsunamigenic earthquakes during the last 1000 years on the Alaska megathrust (2014)
Journal Article
Shennan, I., Barlow, N., Carver, G., Davies, F., Garrett, E., & Hocking, E. (2014). Great tsunamigenic earthquakes during the last 1000 years on the Alaska megathrust. Geology, 42(8), 687-690. https://doi.org/10.1130/g35797.1

Large to great earthquakes and related tsunamis generated on the Alaska megathrust produce major hazards for both the area of rupture and heavily populated coastlines around much of the Pacific Ocean. Recent modeling studies suggest that single-segme... Read More about Great tsunamigenic earthquakes during the last 1000 years on the Alaska megathrust.

Late Holocene paleoseismology of a site in the region of maximum submergence during the 1964 Mw 9.2 Alaska earthquake (2014)
Journal Article
Shennan, I., Barlow, N., Combellick, R., Pierre, K., & Stuart-Taylor, O. (2014). Late Holocene paleoseismology of a site in the region of maximum submergence during the 1964 Mw 9.2 Alaska earthquake. Journal of Quaternary Science, 29(4), 343-350. https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.2705

Sediment archives of coseismic deformation from regions of maximum coseismic displacement act as key datasets for the development and constraint of models of surface elevation change associated with Holocene great earthquakes. We present new litholog... Read More about Late Holocene paleoseismology of a site in the region of maximum submergence during the 1964 Mw 9.2 Alaska earthquake.

Late Holocene great earthquakes in the eastern part of the Aleutian megathrust (2014)
Journal Article
Shennan, I., Bruhn, R., Barlow, N., Good, K., & Hocking, E. (2014). Late Holocene great earthquakes in the eastern part of the Aleutian megathrust. Quaternary Science Reviews, 84, 86-97. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2013.11.010

The great earthquake, Mw 9.2, of AD 1964 may not be typical of other megathrust earthquakes in the region during the last 4000 years. We present new field data from three sites: Copper River Delta, the lower Katalla River valley and Puffy Slough, to...
