Structural interpretation of the great earthquakes of the last millennium in the central Himalaya

JL Mugnier, A Gajurel, P Huyghe… - Earth-Science …, 2013 - Elsevier
A major question about the Himalaya remains open: does a great earthquake (like the Mw~

The role of landslides in mountain range evolution

O Korup, AL Densmore, F Schlunegger - Geomorphology, 2010 - Elsevier
We review the role of landslides in current concepts of the topographic development of
mountain ranges. We find that many studies in this field address basin-or orogen-scale …

Fold evolution and drainage development in the Zagros mountains of Fars province, SE Iran

LA Ramsey, RT Walker, J Jackson - Basin Research, 2008 - earthdoc.org
ABSTRACT A central question in structural geology is whether, and by what mechanism,
active faults (and the folds often associated with them) grow in length as they accumulate …

Statistical analysis of rockfall volume distributions: Implications for rockfall dynamics

interactions between landslide‐produced sediment and fluvial systems that together govern …

An inventory of river anomalies in the Po Plain, Northern Italy: evidence for active blind thrust faulting

P Burrato, F Ciucci, G Valensise - Annals of Geophysics, 2003 - earth-prints.org
The Po Plain is a low-relief area characterised by active shortening accommodated by blind
thrust faulting. In this almost flat region depositional rates are similar to tectonic rates and …

Tectono-climatic influence on landscape changes in the glaciated Durung Drung basin, Zanskar Himalaya, India: a geospatial approach

AK Taloor, BS Kotlia, AS Jasrotia, A Kumar… - Quaternary …, 2019 - Elsevier
This study aims at assessing the tectonic and climatic responses to landscape changes
transpired in the Durung Drung basin in the Zanskar Himalaya. We used relevant …

An embryonic fold and thrust belt south of the Himalayan morphological front: Examples from the Central Nepal and Darjeeling piedmonts

JL Mugnier, P Huyghe, E Large, F Jouanne… - Earth-Science …, 2022 - Elsevier
The morphological boundary between the Himalayas and the foreland plain is well
expressed and most often corresponds to the frontal emergence of the Main Himalayan …

Recent fold growth and drainage development: the Janauri and Chandigarh anticlines in the Siwalik foothills, northwest India

B Delcaillau, JM Carozza, E Laville - Geomorphology, 2006 - Elsevier
The active growth of a fault-and-thrust belt in frontal zones of Himalaya is a prominent
topographical feature, extending 2500 km from Assam to Pakistan. In this paper, kinematical …

[HTML][HTML] Response of drainage to tectonics and PS-InSAR derived deformation study in Bilaspur, northwestern Himalaya, India

M Joshi, GC Kothyari, K Malik, AK Taloor - Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2022 - Elsevier
The study of drainage patterns in tectonically active regions is conducive to the prediction of
regional geomorphology. Subtle subsurface changes can be detected by drainage …
