An exceptionally long paleoseismic record of a slow-moving fault: The Alhama de...

Ortuno, M.; Masana, E.; Garcia-Melendez, E.; Martinez-Diaz, J.; Stepancikova, P.; Cunha, P. P.; Sohbati, R.; Canora, C.; Buylaert, J.-P.; Murray, A. S.

Most catastrophic earthquakes occur along fast-moving faults, although some of them are triggered by slow-moving ones. Long paleoseismic histories are infrequent in the latter faults. Here, an exceptionally long paleoseismic record (more than 300 k.y.) of a slow-moving structure is presented for the southern tip of the Alhama de Murcia fault (Eastern Betic shear zone), which is characterized by morphological ex...


Luminescence dating of Pleistocene alluvial sediments affected by the Alhama de...

Sohbati, Reza; Murray, Andrew S.; Buylaert, Jan-Pieter; Ortuño, Maria; Cunha, Pedro P.; Masana, Eulàlia

The ages of nine alluvial units, identified by the integration of data obtained from five trenches at the southern termination of the Alhama de Murcia Fault (AMF) (eastern Betics, Spain), are constrained using luminescence dating based on the Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) from quartz, Infrared Stimulated Luminescence (IRSL) at 50o C, and post-IR elevated temperature (225°C) IRSL signals from K-feldspa...


Records of human occupation from Pleistocene river terrace and aeolian sediment...

Cunha, Pedro P.; Almeida, Nelson A. C.; Aubry, Thierry; Martins, António A.; Murray, Andrew S.; Buylaert, Jan-Pieter; Sohbati, Reza; Raposo, Luis

In the uppermost reach of the Lower Tejo River (eastern central Portugal), where the river crosses two quartzite ridges that separate the Ródão (upstream) and Arneiro (downstream) depressions, Palaeolithic artefacts have been recovered from three lower river terrace levels and a cover unit of aeolian sands. This paper presents data on the discovery of archaeological artefacts from the terrace levels and the aeo...

Ramos, Anabela M.; Cunha, Pedro P.; Cunha, Lúcio S.; Gomes, Alberto; Lopes, Fernando C.; Buylaert, Jan-Pieter; Murray, Andrew S.

A geomorphological and sedimentological characterization of the River Mondego terraces in the Figueira da Foz coastal area, Portugal, is presented. The relief is dominated by a Pliocene a marine sandy unit ~10–15 m thick, reaching ~250 m a.s.l., that covers a shore platform surface. The River Mondego has incised into the Pliocene relief and its long drainage evolution is recorded within a series of inset river ...
