Applications of airborne and terrestrial laser scanning to paleoseismology

Paleoseismic investigations aim to document past earthquake characteristics such as rupture location, frequency, distribution of slip, and ground shaking intensity--critical parameters for improved understanding of earthquake processes and refined earthquake forecasts. These investigations increasin...

Summary:Paleoseismic investigations aim to document past earthquake characteristics such as rupture location, frequency, distribution of slip, and ground shaking intensity--critical parameters for improved understanding of earthquake processes and refined earthquake forecasts. These investigations increasingly rely on high-resolution (
