The role of Holocene relative sea-level change in preserving records of subduction zone earthquakes by Dura, Tina, Engelhart, Simon E., Vacchi, Matteo, Horton, Benjamin Peter, Kopp, Robert E., Peltier, William Richard, Bradley, Sarah

“…In near-field regions that were located beneath northern hemisphere ice sheets (e.g., western Vancouver Island), RSL fall from a mid-Holocene highstand has limited prehistoric earthquake records to the last 1 ka. In intermediate field regions (e.g., southern Washington and central Oregon), gradual RSL rise over the last ∼7 ka has preserved widespread records of prehistoric earthquakes. …”

Terahertz spectroscopy by Chen, Lili

“…Limitations associated with this experiment were also discussed, with the main component being the lack of cryogenic cooling to reduce the THz absorption and attenuation by the water vapor. Last but not the least, recommendations for the future research in order to improve the THz signal conversion efficiency were given. …”
