- W4322006689 abstract "Studies of Oceanic Transform Faults (OTFs) usually rely on geophysical data because of the OTF inaccessibility on the seafloor. The Húsavík-Flatey Fault (HFF) in northern Iceland is an OTF connecting the onshore rift in Iceland to an offshore rift segment of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, accommodating 30% to 50% of the relative plate motion at this latitude between North America and Eurasia. The HFF is unique because its easternmost 25 km-long segment is exposed on land, allowing to study the long-term deformation of the fault. Two historical earthquakes of estimated magnitudes M6.5 - M7 have been reported on the eastern HFF in the last 270 years. However, almost no information exists from prior to the 18th century.To study the Holocene deformation of the HFF and to build a catalogue of past earthquakes, we excavated 11 paleoseismology trenches at two locations, six on an alluvial fan and five in a pull-apart basin. We also excavated and tracked buried river channels to estimate long-term slip rates and to assess the coseismic displacement of single events. We used radiocarbon dating of birch wood samples together with major element compositions of volcanic ashes (tephras) to constrain the timing of events on the fault.Trenches at both locations show clear evidence of deformation and surface rupturing events. From offset measurements of glacial morphologies and buried river channels, we calculate a Holocene slip rate of 4 - 6 mm/yr, slightly lower than the estimated present-day geodetic slip rate, suggesting that some of the deformation may be distributed. Based on upward terminations of cracks and faults, we identified eight events in the last ~6000 years, yielding fewer major earthquakes than expected from the 270-year record. We thus suggest that large earthquakes of magnitude ~M7 on the HFF, producing significant surface ruptures, are rare, with a return time of 500 to 600 years. We also propose that the short recurrence times often observed on OTFs may therefore not be representative of the full seismic cycle." @default.
