Abstract

New neotectonic data from the southwestern periphery of the Siberian craton reveal post-Miocene reverse thrusting in the zone of the Alar'-Belaya fault. Traces of activity were found in Late Pleistocene-Holocene sections in the lower reaches of the Belaya River and on the left bank of the Angara as seismogenic rupture in sediments produced by local and remote shocks.
