Abstract The Higher Himalayan Crystalline (HHC) in the Bhagirathi river section (India) on fieldwork reveals two extensional ductile top-to-N/NE shear sub-zones—the 'South Tibetan …
One of the major geophysical discoveries concerning the Tibetan Plateau is the existence of unusually weak layers in the mid-to lower crust, a characteristic widely interpreted as the …
Characterizing the stress heterogeneity and crustal complexities are essential to understand the important aspects of rupture development and its propagation in a tectonically active …
We present new, high‐resolution, shear velocity models for the western Himalayas and West Tibet from the joint inversion of P receiver functions recorded using seismic stations from …

Abstract The Higher Himalayan Shear Zone (HHSZ) contains a ductile top-to-N/NE shear zone—the South Tibetan detachment system-lower (STDS L) and an out-of-sequence thrust …
Objective assessment of seismic hazard and understanding of the Himalayan arc's tectonics requires detailed information on the crustal structure and geometry of the underthrusting …
We present fault plane solutions of 94 well located small-to-moderate sized (1.5≤ ML≤ 5.4) earthquakes, which occurred in the Kumaon–Garhwal Himalaya during 2005–2008, using P …
We present a new high‐resolution image of the crust beneath the western Himalaya‐Asia convergence zone encompassing the geographical domain of western Himalaya‐western …
