Damming rivers in the tectonically resurgent Uttarakhand Himalaya

Valdiya, K. S. (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2014)

In the fault-ridden, seismically and tectonically active belts recurrently ravaged by excessive rains and. resultant landslides in Uttarakhand a very large number of big and small dams are being constructed and planned. ...
Geological marvels, hallowed shrines and unification of people of India

Valdiya, K. S. (Indian Academy Sciences, 2016)

Spectacular landforms and extraordinary geological features sculptured by uncommon earth processes occur in different parts of the Indian subcontinent. Presumably, unable to unravel the mysteries of their origin, and ...
Liquefaction record of the great 1934 earthquake predecessors from the north Bihar alluvial plains of India

Rajendran, C. P.; John, Biju; Rajendran, Kusala; Sanwal, Jaishri (Springer, 2016)

The great 1934 Himalayan earthquake of moment magnitude (Mw) 8.1 generated a large zone of ground failure and liquefaction in north Bihar, India, in addition to the earthquakes of 1833 (Mw similar to 7.7) and 1988 (Mw 6.7) ...
Medieval pulse of great earthquakes in the central Himalaya: Viewing past activities on the frontal thrust

Rajendran, C. P.; John, Biju; Rajendran, Kusala (Amererican Geophysical Union, 2015)

The Himalaya has experienced three great earthquakes during the last century1934 Nepal-Bihar, 1950 Upper Assam, and arguably the 1905 Kangra. Focus here is on the central Himalayan segment between the 1905 and the 1934 ...
Sheltered coastal environments as archives of paleo-tsunami deposits: Observations from the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami

Andrade, Vanessa; Rajendran, Kusala; Rajendran, C. P. (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2014)

The 2004 earthquake left several traces of coseismic land deformation and tsunami deposits, both on the islands along the plate boundary and distant shores of the Indian Ocean rim countries. Researchers are now exploring ...
Slow Slip Acceleration beneath Andaman Islands Triggered by the 11 April 2012 Indian Ocean Earthquakes

Paul, J.; Rajendran, K.; Rajendran, C. P. (Seismological Society American, 2014)

The M-w 8.6 and 8.2 strike-slip earthquakes that struck the northeast Indian Ocean on 11 April 2012 resulted in coseismic deformation both at near and distant sites. The slip distribution, deduced using seismic-wave analysis ...
Stalagmite growth perturbations from the Kumaun Himalaya as potential earthquake recorders

Rajendran, C. P.; Sanwal, Jaishri; Morell, Kristin D.; Sandiford, Mike; Kotlia, B. S.; Hellstrom, John; Rajendran, Kusala (Springer, 2016)

The central part of the Himalaya (Kumaun and Garhwal Provinces of India) is noted for its prolonged seismic quiescence, and therefore, developing a longer-term time series of past earthquakes to understand their recurrence ...
