Stephen Personius David P. Schwartz Peter J. Haeussler G. G. Seitz R. D. Koehler 2011 In the Chistochina Glacier area of south-central Alaska, the active trace of the Denali fault is well defined by prominent tectonic geomorphology, including scarps, grabens, and mole tracks associated with the 2002 Mw=7.9 Denali fault earthquake. Interpretation of a trench excavated across the 2002 rupture trace places a constraint on the timing of the penultimate earthquake to after 550 to 660 yr before 2002, consis- tent with other paleoseismic studies along the central Denali fault. Field measurement of offset moraine deposits and use of existing geochronologic data is the basis to estimate a minimum latest Pleistocene slip rate of 8–14 mm/yr. application/pdf 10.14509/22361 en State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resourses, Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys A paleoseismic study along the central Denali Fault, Chistochina Glacier area, south-central Alaska reports
