Paleoseismic evidence of great surface rupture earthquakes along the Indian Himalaya
Senthil Kumar,Steven G. Wesnousky,Thomas K. Rockwell,Richard W. Briggs,V. C. Thakur,R. Jayangondaperumal +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the late Quaternary expression and paleoseismic evidence for great surface rupture earthquakes at six sites along the Himalayan Frontal Thrust (HFT) system of India.

Redefining Medlicott–Wadia's main boundary fault from Jhelum to Yamuna: An active fault strand of the main boundary thrust in northwest Himalaya
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have reviewed and established the tectonostratigraphic framework and physical continuity of the lower Tertiary belt and the Main Boundary Fault (MBF) and designated collectively the MBF and related faults as the Medlicott-Wadia Thrust (MWT).

Evolution of Quaternary alluvial fans and terraces in the intramontane Pinjaur Dun, Sub‐Himalaya, NW India: interaction between tectonics and climate change
TL;DR: In this article, the surface morphology indicates that an earlier set of first-order fans (Qf1) became entrenched and onlapped by a series of second-order fan(Qf2) segments were then cut by a pair of terraces (T1 and T2).

Eight Days in Bhuj: Field Report Bearing on Surface Rupture and Genesis of the 26 January 2001 Earthquake in India
Steven G. Wesnousky,Leonardo Seeber,Thomas K. Rockwell,V. C. Thakur,Richard W. Briggs,Senthil Kumar,Daniel Ragona +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors visited the epicentral area of the Bhuj earthquake for eight days between 11 and 18 February 2001 and reported observations and impressions arising from their brief visit, with the aim of documenting their efforts to record surface rupture as well as providing a starting point for field investigations by others.

Seismotectonics of the great 1905 Kangra earthquake meizoseismal region in Kangra–Chamba, NW Himalaya
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the seismotectonics of the meizoseismal region of the 1905 Kangra earthquake in the Kangra-Chamba region and found that the majority of events are concentrated within a depth range of 5 to 18 km.
