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~
8.1 1934 earthquake) release all the strain stored by the Tibet–India convergence during the …

A review on out-of-sequence deformation in the Himalaya
S Mukherjee - Special Publications, 2015 - lyellcollection.org
Out-of-sequence deformation in the Himalaya has been caused mainly by thrusting. Out-of-
sequence thrusts, usually north-to NE-dip** foreshear planes, occur inside the Sub …

Human capital accumulation and disasters: Evidence from the Pakistan earthquake of 2005
In 2005 a large earthquake struck northern Pakistan. Exposure to the earthquake was
plausibly exogenous to household and individual characteristics, and households received …

Location of largest earthquake slip and fast rupture controlled by along‐strike change in fault structural maturity due to fault growth
Earthquake slip distributions are asymmetric along strike, but the reasons for the asymmetry
are unknown. We address this question by establishing empirical relations between …

Roughness of fault surfaces over nine decades of length scales
We report on the topographic roughness measurements of five exhumed faults and thirteen
surface earthquake ruptures over a large range of scales: from 50 μm to 50 km. We used …

The shape of the Himalayan “Arc”: An ellipse pinned by syntaxial strike-slip fault tips
L Jiao, P Tapponnier… - Proceedings of the …, 2024 - National Acad Sciences
Trans-Himalayan geodetic data show that, between both syntaxes, India/Asia convergence
is steadily oriented≈ N20° E. However, surface faulting near both syntaxes, along the 2005 …
