Late Pleistocene‐Holocene slip rate along the Hasi Shan restraining bend of the Haiyuan fault: implication for faulting dynamics of a complex fault system

Abstract

We thank the associate editor and an anonymous reviewer for their insightful comments that greatly improve this manuscript. We are grateful to Rene Boutin at Laboratoire d Hydrologie et Geochimie de la Surface and ASTER Team (G. Aumaitre, D. Bourles, and K. Keddadouche) at ASTER-CEREGE for ICP-AES and AMS measurements, respectively. Part of this work was supported by INSU-CNRS, France, and the University of Strasbourg, J. Van der Woerd for the Al and Be concentration analyses at LHyGeS and IPGS, and for 10Be/9Be and 26Al/27Al ratios measurements on the Aster AMS facility (GEREGE, Aix-en-Provence, France) supported by INSU-CNRS and IRD. We thank Yang Ye for his help with the chi-square modeling of the depth profile data and A. S. Meriaux for her help with error propagation and mean age calculations. Part of this work has been supported by the CNRS PICS program France-Chine. All slip-rate data discussed in the paper, but the ones derived in this study, are extracted from the published literature listed in the reference list. Pleiades imagery is available for purchase from Airbus industry (https://www.intelligence-airbusds.com/en/8692-pleiades). This is IPGP contribution 4090.
