The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED) are used with the consensus view that it has a minimum vertical accuracy of 16 m absolute error at 90% confidence (Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) 9.73 m) world-wide. However, data decreases increase in slope and elevation due to presence large outliers voids. Therefore, studies using SRTM "as is", especially regions like Himalaya, not statistically meaningful. New from ~200 high-precision static Global Position...
ABSTRACT The eastern Himalaya is characterized by a region of granulites and local granulitized eclogites that have been exhumed via isothermal decompression from lower crustal depths during the India‐Asia collision. Spatially, most these regions are proximal to South Tibetan detachment system, an orogen‐parallel normal‐sense system operated Miocene, suggesting it played role in their exhumation. Here we use geo‐ thermochronological methods study deformation cooling history footwall rocks...

[1] Fold topography preserves a potentially accessible record of the structure and evolution an underlying thrust fault system, provided we understand factors that shape topography. Here examine morphology geometry two active folds at northwest Himalayan front. The Chandigarh Mohand anticlines show following patterns: (1) most (∼60%–70%) growth in catchment size relief (across multiple scales) is accomplished within ∼5 km tips, (2) range-scale divided unevenly between fold flanks because...
The Darjiling-Sikkim Himalaya (DSH) is located over the Dharan-Gorubathan salient-recess pair and moderate thrust strike-slip earthquake occur here. hypocentres cluster not only near location of Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT) or basal decollement wedge, but also well above below it. epicentres mapped Lesser Duplex (LHD), suggesting that both MHT LHD are active structures in DSH. earthquakes can be related to transverse faulting DSH associated with transition on flanks Dharan salient. 18...
The continental collision process has made a large contribution to growth and reconfiguration of cratons throughout Earth history. Many the mountain belts present today are product such as Appalachians, Alps, Cordillera, Himalaya, Zagros, Papuan Fold Thrust Belt. Though collisional generally elongate laterally continuous, close inspection reveals disruptions variations in thrust geometry kinematics along strike range. These lateral typically coincide with cross structures have been...
The last few years have witnessed consistent growth in paleoseismic investigations and active fault research India.An overview of relevant publications during 2016-2020 indicates that this field is now widely accepted as a tool to characterize the seismic hazard country.Such studies initiated country early nineties gained momentum widened its scope into variety tectonic morphological settings.While earthquake frequency activations are major objectives such studies, Indian researchers equally...
The Sheeprock thrust sheet in west-central Utah is an internal the Provo salient of Sevier fold-and-thrust belt. We have measured finite strain quartzites (the dominant lithology), sampled along a square grid within sheet, using modified normalized Fry method (McNaught M.A. (1994) Modifying for aggregates non-elliptical grains. Journal Structural Geology16 493–503). XY and XZ axial ratios from unsampled locations sample area were estimated spatial statistics approach. ellipsoids exhibit...
