Paleoseismic studies of the Hustai Fault zone (Northern Mongolia)

Abstract: Abstract:The paper presents results of seismogeological studies of active faults bordering the Upper Kerulen basin, one of the largest intermountain basins of the Khentei upland. Morphometric and trenching methods were applied to estimate the main parameters of seismogenic dislocations and associated Holocene palaeoearthquakes (540-2810, 3170-3720, and 7480-9220 years ago). The maximum palaeoearthquake magnitude (7.5) characterizes the seismic capacity of the potential focal area (PFA) confined to the Kerulen … Show more

“…The Tola basin was the first in the Henteyn uplift whose seismic genesis was confirmed by paleoseismic studies (Demberel et al, 2010;Ferry et al, 2010;Smekalin et al, 2013). The obvious morphological similarity between the Tola and Upper Kerulen basins triggered comprehensive seismogeological works in the latter.…”

“…Up arrow marks the sample from the bed deformed during the earthquake, and down arrow marks the sample from the bed overlying seismogenic sediments. The time of the last renewal of the Hustai and Gunji dislocations is given after Imaev et al (2012) and Smekalin et al (2013).…”

“…Относительное сгущение эпицентров наблюдается также в зонах Хустайского, Гунжинского и некоторых других разломов, для которых дистанционными методами выявлены признаки сейсмотектонической активизации. Дислокации Эмелтского, Хустайского и Гунжинского разломов детально изучены комплексом сейсмогеологических методов исследования с применением тренчинга и геофизики [Demberel et al, 2011;Ferry et al, 2010;Smekalin et al, 2013;и др.]. Полученные новые данные об активизации сейсмических процессов на протяжении голоценового времени вводят Хэнтейское нагорье в число структур с высоким сейсмическим потенциалом.…”
