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 🧪⚒️

M4.5 #earthquake felt in Vancouver and Seattle, 16 km deep, no mechanism available yet. 🧪

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.
