Report Title : The Potential Evidence for Neotectonic Fault Movement and Correlation with Natural Terrain Landslides in Hong Kong (2015), 33 p.

Author : R.J. Sewell & D.L.K. Tang

Abstract

This report synthesises the findings of an investigation of possible evidence for neotectonic fault activity and the potential correlation with natural terrain landslides in Hong Kong. It is based on separate reports from four study areas including (1) Ho Lek Pui, (2) Wong Chuk Yeung, (3) Tung Chung East, and (4) Nam Shan and Pui O. The results of these studies are evaluated in the context of other evidence for neotectonic fault activity, and integrated with earlier landslide dating and fault studies to provide a preliminary assessment of the palaeoseismicity of Hong Kong.
