Abstract

Paleoseismology allows the characterization of seismogenic faults in high strain rates regions but also in areas with mode- rate rates of deformation like the Iberian Peninsula. There, an important amount of paleoseismic information has been obtai- ned that have allowed the detection of a number of seismic sources and to estimate their seismic potential by constraining some of their seismic parameters, which makes the Seismic Hazard Assessment more realistic. Considering this information, a number of pitfalls and challenges arise, especially in such a moderate strain rates area, and are discussed here. Some issues and questions are: 1) The catalogue of seismic sources only includes the known sources, making the fault map incomplete and SHA uncompleted; 2) How much evidence do we need to properly characterize a paleoearthquake?; 3) How does one account for aseismic behavior?, 4) Do we have complete seismic histories for a specific fault? 5) Do we have long enough seismic histories to characterize the fault behavior? 6) Are slip-rate estimates for a fault comparable or is there a quality factor to weight them? 7) Do the slip rate estimates we have realistically represent the fault behavior?; 8) How do we deal with Maximum magnitude in fault systems? We show examples on how we try to solve some of these new challenges in the Iberian Peninsula.
