Composite borehole profiling combined with trenching is an effective way to acquire evidence of past ruptures of buffed active faults. In this study, three composite borehole profiles and a large-scale trench excavati...
Analysis and study of the geometrical structure of the fault, tectonic features of late Quaternary movement, paleoseismic activity, and structural characteristics of boundaries between segments of the Sertengshan pied...
Through study on trenches, analysis of recurrence characteristics and recurrence interval cluster/gap of strong earthquakes along the major active faults on the northern border of Ordos block, we found 62 paleoearthqu...
The results from interpretation of the aerophotos and in-situ seismogeological researches show that there are some obvious late-Quaternary activities along the Moxi-Mianning segment of the Xianshuihe-Anninghe fault zo...
