Short summary
Near the northern end of Sumatra, the horizontal movement Sumatran fault zone extended to its northern offshore. The movement of offshore fault segments trigger submarine landslides and induce tsunamis. Scenarios of a significant tsunami caused by the combined effect of an earthquake and its triggered submarine landslide at the coast were proposed in this study. Based on our finding, the landslide tsunami hazard assessment and early warning systems in this region should be urgently considered.

We present a new landslide inventory for the 2021, M 7.2, Haiti, earthquake. We compare characteristics of this inventory with those of the 2010 seismically induced landslides, highlighting the much larger total area of 2021 landslides. This fact could be related to the larger earthquake magnitude in 2021, to the more central location of the fault segment ruptured in 2021 with respect to coastal zones, and/or to possible climatic preconditioning of slope failures in the 2021 affected area.

The objective of this study is to reconstruct the climatic variability in Haiti during the last millennium using mineralogical and geochemical composition. We also seek to understand climate mechanisms and modes that could explain this variability. The results showed that Haiti has experienced long progressively drier periods over the past millennium. The rainy or dry periods in Haiti are linked to the average changes in the temperature of the oceans: Atlantic and Pacific, through oscillations.

First analyses of landslide distribution and triggering factors are presented for the region affected by the Mw = 7.2 earthquake, 2021, in Haiti. The landslide inventory created for the 2021 event is compared with catalogues compiled by others both for the 2021 and 2010 events. Related analyses show that the larger total area of landslides triggered in 2021, can be explained, e.g., by (a) the stronger shaking intensity in 2021, (b) a climatic influence on slope stability in the 2021-affected area.

Short summary
The nature of the Ionian Sea crust has been the subject of scientific debate for more than 30 years. Seismic data, recorded on ocean bottom instruments, have been analysed and support the interpretation of the Ionian Abyssal Plain as a remnant of the Tethys oceanic lithosphere with the Malta Escarpment as a transform margin and a Tethys opening in the NNW–SSE direction.

Short summary
The Ivrea–Verbano Zone is the most complete, time-integrated crust–upper mantle archive in the world. It is a unique target for assembling data on the deep crust and Moho transition zone to unravel the formation, evolution, and modification of the continental crust through space and time across the Earth. Four drilling operations in the Ivrea-Verbano Zone crustal section represent the scientifically most promising solution to achieve the major goals of DIVE Project.

Short summary
The Haiti-Drill workshop, held in May 2019, further developed an amphibious drilling project in Haiti. During the workshop, we identified research questions, discussed drilling scenarios, identified data and analyses needed, and produced timelines for the work. We aim to understand the nature of fault zones and the evolution of transpressional plate boundaries. Given this aim, drilling targets were then rationalized, creating a focus point for research and survey needs prior to drilling.
