Popis: Based on the data of coalfield drilling and geological information, using the back-stripping technique, the subsidence history of northern Qinshui basin is studied in this paper. The study shows that this area experienced three stages of subsidence and two stages of uplift since Permo-Carboniferous period. It subsided slowly from Late Carboniferous to middle Permian and then subsided rapidly from Late Permian to Triassic period. It uplifted and denuded from Jurassic period to Cretaceous because of Yanshan movement and continued to uplift and denude since Cenozoic because of Himalayan movement and then subsided from Neocene to Quaternary period. The subsidence center mainly migrated from the south to the north since late Paleozoic. The denudation in the east is more than in the west and the largest denudation thickness is over 1000 m.
