Seismic Account of Ice-Proximal Sediments in a Small Glacial Inlet: Vikingebugt, Central East Greenland
Vikingebugt is the largest of a series of small inlets in the broad outer portion of the Scoresby Sund fjord system in central East Greenland (Fig. 1). It measures 14 km from head to mouth and is c. 6 km wide....

Large-Scale Stratigraphy of Major Glacigenic Depocenters Along the Polar North Atlantic Margins
Along both margins of the polar North Atlantic major sediment cones have accumulated off the largest glacial outlets. Prominent seaward-convex bathymetry outlines the shape of two such depocenters in front of ...

Surface-rupturing history of the Bree fault scarp, Roer Valley graben: Evidence for six events since the late Pleistocene
Since 1996 paleoseismological investigations have been used to develop the surface- rupturing history of the Bree fault scarp, the morphologically best-defined segment of the southwestern border fault of the R...

Open AccessTwo-stage opening of the Dover Strait and the origin of island Britain
Late Quaternary separation of Britain from mainland Europe is considered to be a consequence of spillover of a large proglacial lake in the Southern North Sea basin. Lake spillover is inferred to have caused b...

Morphotectonics and Past Large Earthquakes in Eastern Belgium
Tectonic landforms are generally modest in stable plate interiors characterized by low strain rates and rare earthquakes. Nevertheless, specific investigations identified such landforms in Belgium, which is lo...

Open AccessInsights into earthquake hazard map performance from shaking history simulations
Why recent large earthquakes caused shaking stronger than shown on earthquake hazard maps for common return periods is under debate. Explanations include: (1) Current probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSH...

Open AccessTesting the applicability of ground motion prediction equations for the Hainaut region (Belgium) using intensity data
In regions where strong earthquakes occurred before the deployment of dense seismic and accelerometric networks, intensity datasets can help select appropriate ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs) for se...
