Abstract
Although parts of the fault in south-central Alaska are presently active, there has been no significant strike-slip movement on the Denali Fault System in Yukon Territory in Holocene time. Comparatively minor dip-slip movements on the Shakwak segment of the Denali Fault System probably occurred at the close of Kluane Glaciation of late Wisconsinan age and during early and possibly middle Holocene time. Despite the apparent absence of late Holocene displacements on the Denali Fault System in Yukon Territory, the region is characterized by high seismicity.
