Abstract

The combined geological, geomorphologic, and geophysical study has significantly ascertained the spatial location of main seismogenerating structures in the region of Sochi. The research, which is aimed at identifying and thoroughly exploring all active faults in this area, was conducted in 2007–2009 in the territory between Adler and Krasnaya Polyana. It is found that the Monastyrskii and Krasnopolyanskii faults are the most important structures for seismic hazard assessment. Dramatic deformations of young deposits and prominent landforms are revealed, and seismogravitational features associated with these units are identified.
