Abstract Understanding the long‐term earthquake recurrence pattern at subduction zones requires continuous paleoseismic records with excellent temporal and spatial resolution stable threshold conditions. South central Chilean lakes are typically characterized by laminated sediments providing a quasi‐annual resolution. Our sedimentary data show that lacustrine turbidite sequences accurately reflect historical record of large interplate earthquakes (among others 2010 1960 events). Furthermore,...
Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 316 Sites C0006 and C0007 examined the deformation front of Nankai accretionary prism offshore Kii Peninsula, Japan. In drilling area, frontal thrust shows unusual behavior as compared to other regions Trough. results, integrated with observations from seismic reflection profiles, suggest that has been active since ∼0.78–0.436 Ma accommodated ∼13 34% estimated plate convergence during time. The remainder likely distributed among...

Abstract Central Switzerland lies tectonically in an intraplate area and recurrence rates of strong earthquakes exceed the time span covered by historic chronicles. However, many lakes are present that act as natural seismographs: their continuous, datable high‐resolution sediment succession allows extension earthquake catalogue to pre‐historic times. This study reviews compiles available data sets results from more than 10 years lacustrine palaeoseismological research northern Switzerland....
Multiple lines of evidence exist for a range sediment mass movement processes within the shallow megasplay fault zone (MSFZ) area and adjacent slope basin in outer fore arc Nankai subduction zone, Japan. Diagnostic features observed three‐dimensional reflection seismic data cores Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) document multifarious history spanning ∼2.87 million years. Various modes scales remobilization can be related to different morphotectonic settings which they occurred. From...
Abstract Sediments in deep ocean trenches may contain crucial information on past earthquake history and constitute important sites of carbon burial. Here we present 14 C data bulk organic (OC) its thermal decomposition fractions produced by ramped pyrolysis/oxidation for a core retrieved from the >7.5 km-deep Japan Trench. High-resolution measurements, coupled with distinctive thermogram characteristics OC, reveal hemipelagic sedimentation interrupted episodic deposition pre-aged OC...
Abstract Large prehistoric rockslides tend to occur within spatio-temporal clusters suggesting a common trigger such as earthquake shaking or enhanced wet periods. Yet, assessment remains equivocal due the lack of conclusive observational evidence. Here, we use high-resolution lacustrine paleoseismology evaluate relation between past seismicity and cluster large in Eastern Alps. Temporal spatial coincidence paleoseismic evidence with multiple at ~4.1 ~3.0 ka BP reveals that severe...
Elements of field cancerization, including atrophic gastritis, metaplasia, and dysplasia, promote gastric cancer development in association with chronic inflammation. However, it remains unclear how stroma changes during carcinogenesis the contributes to progression preneoplasia. Here we investigated heterogeneity fibroblasts, one most important elements stroma, their roles neoplastic transformation metaplasia.We used single-cell transcriptomics evaluate cellular mucosal cells from patients...
The temporal and spatial evolution of a seismogenic megasplay fault in the Kumano area, Nankai Trough (southwest Japan), is revealed by detailed investigation three‐dimensional structure shallow portions fault, combined with results drilling dating cores from Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 316. ENE striking eastern portion splay has remained active since inception faulting at ∼1.95 Ma. recent shortening rate ∼1 m/kyr, which represents ∼1.5%–2.5% total plate convergence...
