Highlights

  • Morphometric analysis of normal fault scarp from high-resolution DSM
  • Calculation of long-term throw distribution of a seismogenic normal fault
  • Correlation of a post-glacial offset geomorphic marker with deglaciation phases
  • Average throw rate of ~0.8 mm/a for a Late Pleistocene normal fault scarp
  • Average recurrence time interval of ~1100 a for repeating surface faulting
