a, d Images, visual logs and dry density for the master core from the depocenter of each lake. b, e Examples of the high-resolution correlations that can be traced across the entire lake basins. Lower panels show volumetric models for lakes Paringa (c) and Mapourika (f). Accumulation over four Alpine Fault earthquake cycles is reconstructed in the Windbag Basin of Lake Paringa, while only two cycles are reconstructed in Lake Mapourika. Insets in b and c show the spatial distribution and thickness of co- (red), post- (yellow), inter-seismic (brown) and storm-induced landslide (green) accumulation over the earthquake cycle between the 1717 CE earthquake and 1950.
