Building the Himalaya from tectonic to earthquake scales
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 …

Slip rate deficit and earthquake potential on shallow megathrusts
Most destructive tsunamis are caused by seismic slip on the shallow part of offshore
megathrusts. The likelihood of this behaviour is partly determined by the interseismic slip …

Orogenic segmentation and its role in Himalayan mountain building
The continental collision process has made a large contribution to continental growth and
reconfiguration of cratons throughout Earth history. Many of the mountain belts present today …

Interseismic slip rate and locking along the Maqin–Maqu Segment of the East Kunlun Fault, Northern Tibetan Plateau, based on Sentinel-1 images
L Zhu, L Ji, C Liu - Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, 2021 - Elsevier
Abstract The East Kunlun Fault (EKF) is one of the most active left-lateral strike-slip faults of
the Tibetan Plateau and defines the northern boundary of the Bayan Har Block. Many strong …

Complex strike-slip faulting during the 2021 Mw7.4 Maduo earthquake
Fault geometry is an essential component for understanding earthquake genesis and
dynamic rupture propagation. Here we employed space-based geodetic observations and …

Structural evolution of orogenic wedges: Interplay between erosion and weak décollements
Orogenic wedges commonly display an inner wedge, where crystalline units have been
exhumed, and an outer wedge formed by imbricated sedimentary units detached from the …

The stop-start control of seismicity by fault bends along the Main Himalayan Thrust
S Sathiakumar, S Barbot - Communications Earth & Environment, 2021 - nature.com
The Himalayan megathrust accommodates most of the relative convergence between the
Indian and Eurasian plates, producing cycles of blind and surface-breaking ruptures …

Evidence of structural segmentation of the Uttarakhand Himalaya and its implications for earthquake hazard
The earthquake hazard associated with the Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT) is a critical issue
for India and its neighbouring countries in the north. We used data from a dense seismic …

Plate‐Locking, Uncertainty Estimation and Spatial Correlations Revealed With a Bayesian Model Selection Method: Application to the Central Chile Subduction Zone
V Becerra‐Carreño, JGF Crempien… - Journal of …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Inversions of geodetic data are regularly used to estimate interseismic locking in subduction
zones. However, the ill‐posed nature of these problems motivates us to include prior …
