Himalaya is geodynamically youngest mountain belt in the world, with immature topography &complex geology. It owes its origin to collision between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate during the early Cretaceous - ...

The Himalayan mountains are seismically highly active. Neotectonic activities due to earthquakes along numerous faults in the Himalaya have resulted in contemporary morphological adjustments. These earthquakes induce ...

A detailed analysis of strong motion data recorded during an earthquake makes it possible to infer the physics of the earthquake source which is quite complicated and can be difficult to work out. The faulting process ...

Mining invariably generates a number of significant environmental changes. Jharia Coalfield (JCF), the study area, has a long mining history spanning over a century. Both opencast and underground mining methods are ...

A spring is a natural outlet for concentrated discharge of groundwater either on land surface or into a body of surface water. Springs have been used as dependable and ready source of water in many parts of the world. ...

The Himalaya, which represents technically active mountainous region, is generally characterised by steep slopes, high relief, weathered, fractured and folded rocks, in addition to unfavourable hydrogeological conditions. ...

Earthquake hazards seriously threaten life and property. Evaluation of seismic hazard and development of means of mapping them, are among the research problems in seismology, that urgently require solutions. The existence of ...

The present work is motivated by the need to' understand the occurrence of earthquakes in the Himalaya. Towards this end, firstly, the stresses are analytically simulated in several homogeneous and elastic wedge shaped ...

This is a report on several sets of theoretical and numerical investigations on the occurrence of earthquakes near new reservoirs. A review of the literature of the last two decades on the theme indicated the need and ...
