The Šoštanj Fault shows the most recent seismic activity based on dating methods, indicating a shorter recurrence interval.
Fault gouges were dated with ESR and OSL, with results suggesting different seismic histories among major faults.
The Lavanttal Fault displayed about 97% ESR saturation, suggesting significant seismic inactivity during the Quaternary.
Findings demonstrate the effectiveness of ESR and OSL in assessing fault activity and understanding seismic risks.
