Lateral variations of the midcrustal seismicity in western Nepal: Seismotectonic implications
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Earth and Planetary Science Letters"
DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2018.09.041
Abstract: Abstract The midcrustal seismicity along the Himalayas depicts some lateral variations. This seismicity is often related to stress build up, at depth, along the downdip extent of the fault segments producing large and great earthquakes.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-00297-4
Abstract: The largest (M8+) known earthquakes in the Himalaya have ruptured the upper locked section of the Main Himalayan Thrust zone, offsetting the ground surface along the Main Frontal Thrust at the range front. However, out-of-sequence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/02723646.2018.1428266
Abstract: Abstract A treeline can respond to climate change by shifting position, infilling, increasing recruitment, and increasing radial growth. More studies from understudied areas and their associated species are needed to understand treeline structure and dynamics.… read more here.

DOI: 10.33314/jnhrc.v19i04.2967
Abstract: BACKGROUND Current literatures seem devoted only on relating climate change with malaria. Overarching all possible environmental determinants of malaria prevalence addressed by scanty literature in Nepal is found apposite research at this moment. This study… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/cli7070092
Abstract: The Himalayas are highly susceptible to the impacts of climate change, as it consequently increases the vulnerability of downstream communities, livelihoods and ecosystems. Western Nepal currently holds significant potential as multiple opportunities for water development… read more here.
