[HTML][HTML] Bimodal seismicity in the Himalaya controlled by fault friction and geometry

L Dal Zilio, Y van Dinther, T Gerya, JP Avouac - Nature communications, 2019 - nature.com
There is increasing evidence that the Himalayan seismicity can be bimodal: blind
earthquakes (up to Mw~ 7.8) tend to cluster in the downdip part of the seismogenic zone …
