| Abstract: | The study of the segment of the Karasu River valley (Kyrgyzstan), where it coincides with the Talas-Fergana Fault, the largest shear zone in Central Asia, was conducted. All the age data available for strong paleoearthquakes and significant rock landslides that occurred in the region were collected and analyzed; new age data were obtained using lichenometric and radiocarbon analyzers. It was established that the majority of earthquakes and landslide phases are coeval (within the limits of error of determination methods). This confirms the supposition that significant rockslides were induced by strong seismic events. |
