文摘

A method to detect recent tectonic movement along a river channel is developed. Anomalies in river gradients show the neotectonic movement. Good correlations with PSInSAR measurements were established. Anomalies were detected where river streams cross active fault segments. The method should be tested in other geological and climatic environments.
