Abstract: Abstract Due to the continuous movement of underthrusting Indian plate beneath the Eurasian plate the strain energy accumulates, which is released substantially in the form of great earthquakes. It is yet to be released in… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract A numerical block-and-fault dynamics model (BAFD) of the Himalayan frontal arc, India is developed to understand the long-term patterns of strain accumulation and occurrences of great earthquakes in the Himalaya. The morphostructural scheme outlines… read more here.
