Dating drainage reversal using mineral provenance along the Yangsan Fault, South Korea.

ABSTRACT: Tectonics is broadly accepted as one of the main factors controlling long-term landscape evolution. The impact of tectonics on short timescales is most often observed through earthquake rupturings that produce localized, metric-scale deformations. Although these deformations significantly affect the landscape, it remains challenging to precisely correlate major landscape changes with these localized earthquake deformations. Therefore, linking instantaneous deformation to long-term morphological changes often involves a thought experiment with potentially limited temporal resolution. At a paleoseismological site along the slow-moving strike-slip Yangsan Fault in South Korea, we employed optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating and detrital zircon analysis on all exposed unconsolidated
