Seismic imaging of the Main Frontal Thrust in Nepal reveals a shallow décollement and blind thrusting
Because great earthquakes in the Himalaya have an average recurrence interval exceeding 500 yr, most of what we know about past earthquakes comes from paleoseismology and tectonic geomorphology studies of the youngest fault system there, the Main Frontal Thrust (MFT). However, these data are sparse...
