Shear wave crustal velocity structure in the Garhwal-Kumaon Himalaya based on noise cross-correlation of Rayleigh wave
The tectonics of the Garwal-Kumaon Himalaya is characterized by thrusts, tectonic windows,
and klippen. We investigate crustal shear wave velocity variations using ambient noise cross …
