Most studies in this month’s list deal with the active tectonics of Asia and the Mediterranean, but we have a wide variety of different methods covered. Make sure to check out the latest applications of the ESI2007 scale. There are also very interesting papers on fault interaction and fault behaviour in general, about cascading hazards, and about quakes in lakes. And of course there is the really cool “InSAR lookbook”. Enjoy reading!
