This study presents a comprehensive analysis of paleomagnetic characteristics of the Quaternary sediments of the Kadyr'ya section of the Chirchik Basin. The results of measurements of magnetic characteristics of the selected samples, such as natural remanent magnetization, magnetic susceptibility, and others, established that the lower part of the Kadyr'ya section is characterized by a correlation with the Matuyama reverse polarity chron, while the upper part is related to the Brunhes normal polarity chron.
