Abstract. We present first constraints from tectonic geomorphology and paleoseismology along the newly discovered Sharkhai fault near capital city of Mongolia. Detailed observations high-resolution Pleiades satellite images field investigations allowed us to map in detail, describe its geometry segmentation, characterize kinematics, document recent activity seismic behavior (cumulative displace...

The geomorphic expression of active faulting and distinction paleoseismic events in areas that are rapidly obscured by erosion/sedimentation still remains a considerable scientific problem. present article discusses the revealing surface ruptures their parameters to identify capable faults without trenching estimate magnitude earthquakes. case study was at Cape Rytyi, located Baikal-Lena Nature...

During earthquakes, fault rupture can involve multiple segments in synchronous or cascade mechanisms, leading to an increasing magnitude of the mainshock rate aftershocks. Since seismogenic portions faults are inaccessible, studying geometrical and mechanical interaction between exhumed contribute understanding multisegment earthquake scenarios at depth. We investigated a segmented active norma...
