The Himalayan proximal foreland is characterized by Quaternary megafans, of which the formational mechanisms remain debated. The Tista megafan spreads over more than …
Abstract We report Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements of postseismic deformation following the 2015 Mw7. 8 Gorkha (Nepal) earthquake, including previously …
The continuous collision of the Eurasian plate and the Indian plate has resulted in several earthquakes in the Himalayan region. The 6.9 Mw 2011 Sikkim earthquake, which caused …

Abstract The 2011 Sikkim earthquake (M 6.9) of the Himalaya has shown that a moderate size earthquake may also cause severe damage to the region. Simulated accelerograms …
Unlike the other Himalayan plate boundary segments, the eastern Nepal to Bhutan Himalayan region is not known to have generated prominent shallow thrust faulting …
Fault plane solutions of the September 18, 2011 Sikkim Himalaya earthquake of Mw 6.9 and its four aftershocks (Mw> 4.0) are studied by waveform inversion using the local broadband …
