In order to investigate how active upper-plate faults in Crete influence uplift above the Hellenic subduction zone we mapped deformed Late Quaternary marine terraces along 17 profiles, across strike of the South Central Crete Fault (SCCF), identified and dated palaeoshorelines using in-situ 36Cl exposure dating on wave-cut platforms, correlated them with the Quaternary sea-level curve and calculated uplift rates. We identified 16 distinct palaeoshorelines from field observations and study of digital elevation models (DEMs), located along the footwall and hangingwall of the SCCF and the footwall of the offshore Ptolemy ‘trench’ fault. Cosmogenic dating constrains the ages of three palaeoshorelines as 76, 100 and 125 ka. We use these dates to guide a correlation of other mapped palaeoshorelines with Quaternary sea-level highstands between 200 and 980 ka with results implying that the uplift rate is constant through time at each of the 17 profile locations. Elastic half-space modelling implies that uplift in both the hangingwall and footwall of the SCCF is influenced by uplift related to offshore upper-plate faults, in addition to background regional uplift, perhaps from the subduction interface. By correlating palaeoshorelines across the active South Central Crete Fault, we derive a throw-rate of 0.41 mm/yr for this fault which can also be expressed as a slip rate of 0.58 mm/yr. The fault-specific earthquake recurrence interval, assuming repetition of 1.1 m slip events, is approximately 2700 years for the SCCF.

The morphology of marine and lacustrine terraces has been largely used to measure past sea- and lake-level positions and estimate vertical deformation in a wealth of studies focused on climate and tectonic processes. To obtain accurate morphometric assessments of terrace morphology we present TerraceM-2, an improved version of our Matlab® graphic-user interface that provides new methodologies for morphometric analyses as well as landscape evolution and fault-dislocation modelling. The new version includes novel routines to map the elevation and spatial distribution of terraces, to model their formation and evolution, and to estimate fault-slip rates from terrace deformation patterns. TerraceM-2 has significantly improves its processing speed and mapping capabilities, and includes separate functions for developing customised workflows beyond the graphic-user interface. We illustrate these new mapping and modelling capabilities with three examples: mapping lacustrine shorelines in the Dead Sea to estimate deformation across the Dead Sea Fault, landscape evolution modelling to estimate a history of uplift rates in southern Peru, and dislocation modelling of deformed marine terraces in California. These examples also illustrate the need to use topographic data of different resolutions. The new modelling and mapping routines of TerraceM-2 highlight the advantages of an integrated joint mapping and modelling approach to improve the efficiency and precision of coastal terrace metrics in both marine and lacustrine environments.

TerraceM-2: A Matlab® Interface for Mapping and Modeling Marine and Lacustrine Terraces

In his former paper on the subject of the Flint-implements, the author postponed the consideration of the theoretical questions, to allow time for a fuller investigation of the physical phenomena. The points then sought to be established were,—the artificial make of the specimens,—their position in undisturbed ground,—and their contemporaneity with the extinct animals. The points for present consideration relate to the structural and physical phenomena, and to various theoretical questions.

Theoretical Considerations on the Conditions under Which the Drift Deposits Containing the Remains of Extinct Mammalia and Flint-Implements Were Accumulated; and on Their Geological Age.
