Overview

Shmuel Marco is affiliated with Tel Aviv University in Israel and specializes in Earth and Planetary Sciences, with a focus on geophysics, earth-surface processes, and atmospheric science among other subfields. Their research output comprises 69 publications across these topics.

Their main research topics cover earthquake and tectonic studies, geological formations and processes, geology and paleoclimatology research, geological and geochemical analysis, as well as geological and geophysical studies and high-pressure geophysics and materials. These research themes reflect a substantial engagement with seismic phenomena and earth surface dynamics.

Frequent coauthors in their work include R. Weinberger, G.I. Alsop, T. Levi, Yin Lu, and Nadav Wetzler, each collaborating on multiple publications. This network indicates a broad collaborative approach within the field.

Marco has contributed to several peer-reviewed journals prominently involved in geosciences. The venues where most of their papers appear include the Journal of Structural Geology, Tectonophysics, Geophysical Research Letters, the Publishing Network for Geoscientific and Environmental Data (PANGAEA), and Science Advances.

Selected recent papers authored or coauthored by Marco include:

  • "A 220,000-year-long continuous large earthquake record on a slow-slipping plate boundary" (2020, Science Advances)
  • "Assessment of seismic sources and capable faults through hierarchic tectonic criteria: implications for seismic hazard in the Levant" (2020, Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences)
  • "A 45 kyr laminae record from the Dead Sea: Implications for basin erosion and floods recurrence" (2020, Quaternary Science Reviews)
  • "Recognising surface versus sub-surface deformation of soft-sediments: Consequences and considerations for palaeoseismic studies" (2021, Journal of Structural Geology)
  • "A New Approach to Constrain the Seismic Origin for Prehistoric Turbidites as Applied to the Dead Sea Basin" (2020, Geophysical Research Letters)
