Building the Himalaya from tectonic to earthquake scales
Abstract Convergence of the Indian Plate towards Eurasia has led to the building of the
Himalaya, the highest mountain range on Earth. Active mountain building involves a …

Slip rate deficit and earthquake potential on shallow megathrusts
Most destructive tsunamis are caused by seismic slip on the shallow part of offshore
megathrusts. The likelihood of this behaviour is partly determined by the interseismic slip …

Subduction intraslab-interface fault interactions in the 2022 Mw 6.4 Ferndale, California, earthquake sequence
The Mendocino triple junction—the intersection of the Pacific, North American, and Gorda
plates—activates a collection of disparate faults that reconcile Cascadia subduction with …

Active convergence of the India‐Burma‐Sunda plates revealed by a new continuous GPS network
Abstract The Rakhine (Arakan)‐Bangladesh megathrust, along which the Indian and Burma
plates collide, is assumed by some to be inactive/aseismic due to the lack of notable …

New GNSS and geological data from the Indo‐Burman subduction zone indicate active convergence on both a locked megathrust and the Kabaw Fault
Abstract The Indo‐Burma subduction zone is a highly oblique subduction system where the
Indian plate is converging with the Eurasian plate. How strain is partitioned between the …

Strong seismic coupling underneath Garhwal–Kumaun region, NW Himalaya, India
No great earthquake has occurred in the Garhwal–Kumaun region of NW Himalaya in the
past 500 years or more. We report results of continuous GPS measurements from 28 sites …

Slip-partitioning above a shallow, weak décollement beneath the Indo-Burman accretionary prism
Abstract The Indo-Burman Ranges (IBR) are an∼ 375 km wide accretionary prism that
accommodates oblique convergence of the∼ 13–20 km thick Ganges–Brahmaputra Delta …

Megathrust reflectivity reveals the updip limit of the 2014 Iquique earthquake rupture
The updip limit of seismic rupture during a megathrust earthquake exerts a major control on
the size of the resulting tsunami. Offshore Northern Chile, the 2014 Mw 8.1 Iquique …

Structural control on downdip locking extent of the Himalayan megathrust
Geologic reconstructions of the Main Himalayan Thrust in Nepal show a laterally extensive
midcrustal ramp, hypothesized to form the downdip boundary of interseismic locking. Using …
