Potential source zones for Himalayan earthquakes: constraints from spatial–temporal clusters

Mukhopadhyay, Basab; Acharyya, Anshuman; Dasgupta, Sujit - In: Natural Hazards 57 (2011) 2, pp. 369-383

The Himalayan fold-thrust belt has been visited by many disastrous earthquakes (magnitude 6) time and again. This active collisional orogen bordering Indian subcontinent in the north remains a potential seismic threat of similar magnitude in the adjoining countries like India, Pakistan,...
