Thrilled to share our latest study on earthquake rupture extents in the #Himalayas where we address a long-standing question in Himalayan tectonics: How far do earthquake ruptures extend, and what controls their terminations?

A historical seismicity map shows several #earthquakes of similar size to today’s M7.7 in Myanmar occurred in the region in the early 20th century, but this section of the Sagaing fault probably hasn’t ruptured since 1839 πŸ§ͺβš’οΈ

There was an Mw3.8 #earthquake in #Maine today at 10:27 am, an unusual event given that Maine is far from any active plate boundary. However, minor tremors can still occur in the region due to several faults associated with the #Appalachian Mountains.

Research takes you places, and this time it took us to the jungles of the #Himalayas, a region known for #Tigers, #elephants , and leopards. We conducted studies to understand the timing and magnitude of past #earthquake so that we can better prepare for future ones.

Finishing the year 2024 with the most anticipated paleoseismic investigations in the jungle of #Himalayas known for tigers and we had them every night visiting our trench.
Paleoseismic studies and earthquakes forecasting is crucial for #India due to rapid urban and construction growth.
