Evidence of structural segmentation of the Uttarakhand Himalaya and its implications for earthquake hazard
Abstract 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 network in Uttarakhand, India, to model the lateral variations in the depths of MHT (2–6% drop in Vs at 12–21 km...
