Welcome!

This website is designed as a place to document the science of Subaqueous Paleoseismology. One may find educational resources and links to scientific papers.

Our initial effort is to promote and support a Subaqueous Paleoseismology “Short Coarse” at the 2017 Geological Society of America Meeting in Seattle. Below is some information about the “Short Coarse.” Here is the GSA web page that includes a description for all Short Courses.

• Cost: US$25. Limit: 40. CEUs: 0.8.
• Instructors: Chris Goldfinger, Oregon State University, College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences; Randy Enkin, Geological Survey of Canada; Audrey Dallimore, Royal Roads University and Visiting Scientist at Geological Survey of Canada- Pacific; Tark S. Hamilton, Geological Survey of Canada; Jason R. Patton, Adjunct Professor at Humboldt State University, Department of Geology
• Subaqueous paleoseismology is an emerging field that has the potential to reveal long-term earthquake histories, temporal and spatial patterns of rupture, and relative magnitudes and intensities. The methods require proficiency in a variety of subspecialties, including radiometric and relative dating, age modeling, marine geology, sediment transport, seismic reflection, geomorphology, subsurface log analysis, sedimentology, core logging geophysics, slope stability, and turbidity current dynamics. This one-day short course will touch on the basics of these components, covering some of the specialized methods that have been developed recently, and the application of the results to paleoseismic problems.
