Active fault systems evolution through time and space conditions not only the surface deformation but also impacts the type of surface processes and their rates. To constrain in time how active fault systems acted and identify relevant changes or extreme events as surface rupture events, dating methods are necessary. In this presentation, Luminescence and Terrestrial Cosmogenic Nuclides methods will be explained and examples applied to Active Tectonics and Earthquake Geology will be presented and discussed.

Paula Marques Figueiredo holds a PhD from Lisbon University in Neotectonics, and she is currently an Assistant Research Professor at the North Carolina State University, USA, where she manages the Quaternary Geochronology laboratories (Luminescence and Terrestrial Cosmogenic Nuclides). She studies crustal deformation through the characterization of active tectonic systems and their evolution through time and space, combining different approaches, such as detailed structural geology mapping, paleoseismology, tectonic geomorphology, geophysical data, and remote sensing analyses. Most of her research has been conducted in the plate boundary in western America, but also in intraplate settings such as eastern US or Iberia.
