The site was selected after a general geomorphological analysis of the whole fault and af ter a near-fault study of the surface geology. Trenches across the fault exposed colluvial wedges, which evidenced sudden deformation events (paleoear thquakes). The Carboneras is, thus, a seismogenic fault. Evidence of a minimum of four events in the last 50 ka was detected suggesting a mean recurrence period of 14 ka. The geometry of the units and S-C structures observed in trenches indicate a lef t-lateral with some reverse component movement along the fault in its most recent activity}, keywords = {Carboneras Fault}, keywords = {Eastern Betics}, keywords = {Paleoseismology}, keywords = {Trenching}, keywords = {Neotectonics}, title = {Primeras evidencias de paleoterremotos en la falla de Carboneras: estudio paleosismológico en el segmento de La Serrata}, title = {First evidence of paleoearthquakes in Carboneras Fault: A Paleoseismological study in La Serrata}, author = {Moreno, Ximena and Masana, E. and Gràcia, E. and Pallàs, R. and Ruano, Patricia and Coll, Miquel and Stepancíková, P. and Santanach, P.}, }
