Significant Seismic Risk Potential From Buried Faults Beneath Almaty City, Kazakhstan, Revealed From High‐Resolution Satellite DEMs

Abstract Major faults of the Tien Shan, Central Asia, have long repeat times, but fail in large (Mw 7+) earthquakes. In addition, there may be smaller, buried faults off the major faults which are not properly characterized or even recognized as active. These all pose hazard to cities along the moun...
