The Stuoragurra fault at Masi in Northern Norway is less than 600 yrs old

Based on trenching transverse to the fault scarp, observation of sediments and structures, and 14 C-dating of buried organic material, we conclude that the Stuoragurra fault event, accompanied with earthquake of magnitude 7 at Máze (Masi) occurred just before or during the Little Ice Age (LIA, c. 15...

Description
Summary:Based on trenching transverse to the fault scarp, observation of sediments and structures, and 14 C-dating of buried organic material, we conclude that the Stuoragurra fault event, accompanied with earthquake of magnitude 7 at Máze (Masi) occurred just before or during the Little Ice Age (LIA, c. 1500-1920 AD). A compilation of data collected during fieldwork along the fault complex, and subsequent analyses and interpretations, including georadar profiling and preliminary bothanical studies, are in progress (Olsen et al., in prep.).
