The Bagh area was badly affected by the Kashmir earthquake of October 8th 2005 which, along the Muzaffarabad Fault, deformed both the hanging and footwall blocks.

Comparing the Hawkes and Trigger Process Models for Aftershock Sequences Following the 2005 Kashmir Earthquake

In an earlier study (Van Lieshout and Stein in Math Gesoci 44(3):309–326, 2012) we postulated the existence of two major earthquakes in the 2005 Kashmir disaster instead of a single one, based upon the pattern of aftershocks. In this study, we explore this hypothesis further by fitting several spatial point pattern models. In particular, we discuss the Hawkes and the trigger process models for ...

Use of Salvage Wood for Reconstruction in Earthquake Affected Sites of Muzaffarabad, Azad Jammu & Kashmir

The earthquake had hit Muzaffarabad on October 8, 2005. Being one of the dreadful events, it badly devastated the area. In addition, the post earthquake scenario raised fears of pressure on forestry resources, especially for reconstruction phase. It was, therefore, essential to assess the availability of salvage wood to prevent/or reduce the pressure on forestry resources. Thus, the study was l...
