  • The Jiayuguan fault lies in the western part of the Hexi Corridor, which is a boundary fault between the Jiuxi basin and Jiudong basin. Its latest active characteristics and strong earthquake risk are related to the earthquake disaster of Jiayuguan area and related cultural relics. Based on the interpretation of high-resolution satellite images and field investigation, it is found that the middle segment of the Jiayuguan fault is composed of multiple branch faults. The paleoseismic characteristics of the fault are studied by means of paleoseismical trenching and optical stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating. The results show that the latest earthquake event on the Jiayuguan fault occurred at 4.3-5.3 ka, and three other events occurred approximately at 20.0-21.2 ka, 37.0-45.0 ka and 58.1 ka. According to the empirical relationship, the Jiayuguan fault has the potential and risk for strong earthquake of Mw 7.0. Under this magnitude, the seismic intensity of Jiayuguan tower area will be up to Ⅸ, and the Jiayuguan urban area will be Ⅷ. Therefore, the Jiayuguan fault is an important seismogenic fault in this area.
