We surveyed morphotectonic markers along the central part of the Gurvan Bulag thrust, a fault that ruptured with the Bogd fault during the Gobi-Altay earthquake (1957, M 8.3), to document climatic and tectonic processes along the fault for the late Pleistocene-Holocene period. The markers were dated using 10Be produced in situ. Two major periods of alluviation ended at 131 ¿ 20 and 16 ¿ 4.8 ka. These appear to be contemporaneous with global climatic changes at the terminations of marine isotope stages (MIS) 6 and 2. The vertical slip rates, determined from offset measurements and surfaces ages, are 0.14 ¿ 0.03 mm/yr over the late Pleistocene-Holocene and between 0.44 ¿ 0.11 and 1.05 ¿ 0.25 mm/yr since the end of the late Pleistocene. The higher of these slip rates for the last ~16 kyr is consistent with paleoseismic investigations along the fault <Prentice et al., 2002>, and suggests that, at the end of late Pleistocene, the fault evolved from quiescence to having recurrence intervals of 4.0 ¿ 1.2 kyr for surface ruptures with ~4 m vertical offset (similar to that of 1957). The inferred recurrence interval is comparable to that of the Bogd fault (3.7 ¿ 1.3 kyr) suggesting that the two faults may have ruptured together also earlier during the last ~16 kyr.
