This article summarizes recent advances in our knowledge of the past 1000 years of
earthquakes in the Himalaya using geodetic, historical and seismological data, and …

Abstract Convergence of the Indian Plate towards Eurasia has led to the building of the
Himalaya, the highest mountain range on Earth. Active mountain building involves a …

The Himalayan-Tibetan orogen culminated during the Cenozoic India--Asia collision, but its
geological framework and initial growth were fundamentally the result of multiple, previous …

Coseismic landslides pose immediate and prolonged hazards to mountainous communities,
and provide a rare opportunity to study the effect of large earthquakes on erosion and …

Large earthquakes are thought to release strain on previously locked faults. However, the
details of how earthquakes are initiated, grow and terminate in relation to pre-seismically …

We determine the slip rate and pattern of interseismic coupling on the Main Himalayan
Thrust along the entire Himalayan arc based on a compilation of geodetic, interferometric …

The ongoing collision of India with Asia is partly accommodated by slip on the Main
Himalayan Thrust (MHT). The 25 April 2015, M w 7.8 Gorkha earthquake is the most recent …

On 18 March 2015, at the UN World Conference on Disaster Reduction, 187 members states
signed the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 (SFDRR). This global …

In active mountain belts with steep terrain, bedrock landsliding is a major erosional agent. In
the Himalayas, landsliding is driven by annual hydro-meteorological forcing due to the …

Abstract The M 7.8 2015 April 25 Gorkha earthquake devastated the mountainous southern
rim of the High Himalayan range in central Nepal. The main shock was followed by 553 …
