【Abstract】 The basical principle of lichenometry is that lichens become larger with increasing age, and their size may be proportional to the age of the substrata on which they are growing. Depending on the degree of control over the determination of the lichen age-sire relationship, various kinds of dating are possible. In uncontrolled situation it is possible to distinguish between coseismic landslides of different age, assigning relative ages to each. At a more controlled level, it is possible to produce dates for coseismic landslides. The applications of lichenometry in research of coseismic landslides can help to get information of time, location, regional frequency and affected area of earthquakes and the location of seismic faults.更多还原
