Comment on "Slip-Rate Measurements on the Karakorum Fault May Imply Secular Variations in Fault Motion"

Chevalier et al . ([ 1 ][1]) presented cosmic-ray exposure dates for glacial deposits offset by movement along the Karakorum Fault. They inferred a late Quaternary slip rate on this fault, 10.7 ± 0.7 mm/year, that is higher than rates reported in recent field studies ([ 2 ][2]). The reported rate
