Journal ArticleDOI
Himalayan Seismic Hazard
TL;DR: Bilham et al. as discussed by the authors analyzed historic earthquakes and concluded that several major earthquakes are overdue in this region but that recent low activity has focused attention away from the Himalayan arc, and predicted that just one of the possibly overdue Himalayan earthquakes may lead to 200,000 predictable fatalities.
Journal ArticleDOI
The motion and active deformation of India
J. Paul,Roland Bürgmann,Vinod K. Gaur,Roger Bilham,Kristine M. Larson,M. B. Ananda,Sridevi Jade,M. Mukal,T. S. Anupama,G.S. Satyal,D. Kumar +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured surface displacements using GPS to constrain the motion and deformation of India and India-Eurasia plate boundary deformation along the Himalaya.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crustal structure and earthquake focal depths beneath northeastern India and southern Tibet
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used broad-band teleseismic data recorded at eight sites along a north-south profile from Karimganj (24.84 ◦ N, 92.34 ◦ E), south of the eastern Shillong Plateau, to Bomdilla (27.27 ◦N,92.41 ◦E) in the eastern Lesser Himalaya, to determine the seismic characteristics of the crust in northeastern India.
Journal ArticleDOI
Slip rates of the Karakorum fault, Ladakh, India, determined using cosmic ray exposure dating of debris flows and moraines
Erik T. Brown,Rebecca Bendick,Didier Bourlès,Vinod K. Gaur,Peter Molnar,Grant M. Raisbeck,Françoise Yiou +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, Liu et al. inferred that alpine glaciers in this region have not necessarily expanded in concert with Northern Hemisphere continental ice sheets, and showed that slip along the boundaries of Tibet is not significantly more rapid than extension within the plateau.
Journal ArticleDOI
The nature of the crust in southern India: Implications for Precambrian crustal evolution
Sandeep Gupta,S. S. Rai,K. S. Prakasam,D. Srinagesh,Brijesh K. Bansal,R. K. Chadha,Keith Priestley,Vinod K. Gaur +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used receiver function analysis at 32 sites on the Archaean and Proterozoic terrains of South India to determine the crustal thickness and Poisson's ratio of the Western Dharwar Craton.
