The Directory

This is a kind of unofficially directory of the people who do some paleoseismology stuff worldwide. To keep this list clear and short we decided to apply the following criteria.

  • being postgraduate
  • at least one relevant paper in an ISI-ranked magazine
  • being alive and kicking

If you are listed in this directory and want to change some information or if you are missing: drop a line here. Please send us the data you want to see included.

Neolithic and ‘Minoan’ Bronze Age periods of Crete have since recently been understood in contradictory terms, the first one representing the long, mainly static introduction to the second, bearing witness of the rise of the ‘first European civilisation’. As a consequence, different interests came to frame human-environment understandings of the Neolithic (subsistence, security) and the Bronze Age periods (ritual practices; volcanic, earthquake, tsunami, flash-flood hazards). Coastal plains represent high-resolution archives of Holocene sedimentary records offering the possibility of examining Neolithic and Bronze Age human-environment interactions. The detailed examination of coastal plain sediment successions can document a wide range of interactions between humans and the earth. Sediments are not only environmental proxies. They also form material conditions of life, framing social practices and the rhythms of their expression.
