In this paper, we used high-resolution imagery and digital elevation model data to study the geomorphological and geological characteristics of the fault. Furthermore, the result also determined the fault trace and estimated the average horizontal slip rate of the fault since the late Quaternary to have been 2.6 \u00b1 0.6 mm\/a. This slip rate is approximately equivalent to that of the Awancang, Madoi\u2013Garde, and Dari faults, which are also located within the block. Furthermore, the slip rates of these faults obtained by remote sensing and geological methods are consistent with GPS observations. It indicates that tectonic deformation within the block is continuous and diffuse. Using trenching study results and sedimentary radiocarbon dating, we identified four paleoearthquake events that occurred at 42,378\u201332,975, 33,935\u201320,663, 5052\u20134862, and after 673\u2013628 cal BP, respectively. The recurrence intervals of large earthquakes on the faults within the block are much longer than those of the boundary faults, and the slip rates are also smaller, indicating that faults within the block play a regulatory role in the tectonic deformation of the Bayan Har Block.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15092458","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,8]],"date-time":"2023-05-08T02:03:31Z","timestamp":1683511411000},"page":"2458","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Holocene Activity of the Wudaoliang\u2013Changshagongma Fault of the Eastern Tibetan Plateau"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Mingjian","family":"Liang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sichuan Earthquake Agency, Chengdu 610041, China"},{"name":"Chengdu Institute of Tibetan Plateau Earthquake Research, China Earthquake Administration, Chengdu 610041, China"}]},{"given":"Yun","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nuclear Industry Southwest Geotechnical Investigation & Design Institute Co., Ltd., Chengdu 610051, China"}]},{"given":"Cheng","family":"Liao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sichuan Earthquake Agency, Chengdu 610041, China"},{"name":"Chengdu Institute of Tibetan Plateau Earthquake Research, China Earthquake Administration, Chengdu 610041, China"}]},{"given":"Yulong","family":"Qin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sichuan Geological Survey Institute, Chengdu 610081, China"}]},{"given":"Huiping","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Earthquake Dynamics, Institute of Geology, China Earthquake Administration, Beijing 100029, China"}]},{"given":"Weiwei","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sichuan Earthquake Agency, Chengdu 610041, China"},{"name":"Chengdu Institute of Tibetan Plateau Earthquake Research, China Earthquake Administration, Chengdu 610041, China"}]},{"given":"Hong","family":"Zuo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sichuan Earthquake Agency, Chengdu 610041, China"},{"name":"Chengdu Institute of Tibetan Plateau Earthquake Research, China Earthquake Administration, Chengdu 610041, China"}]},{"given":"Wenying","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sichuan Earthquake Agency, Chengdu 610041, China"},{"name":"Chengdu Institute of Tibetan Plateau Earthquake Research, China Earthquake Administration, Chengdu 610041, China"}]},{"given":"Changli","family":"Xiong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sichuan Geological Survey Institute, Chengdu 610081, China"}]},{"given":"Li","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sichuan Earthquake Agency, Chengdu 610041, China"},{"name":"Chengdu Institute of Tibetan Plateau Earthquake Research, China Earthquake Administration, Chengdu 610041, China"}]},{"given":"Yue","family":"Gong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sichuan Earthquake Agency, Chengdu 610041, China"}]},{"given":"Tian","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sichuan Earthquake Agency, Chengdu 610041, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1655","article-title":"Coseismic surface rupture and seismogenic structure of the 2021-05-22 Maduo (Qinghai) MS7.4 earthquake","volume":"95","author":"Pan","year":"2021","journal-title":"Acta Geol.
