The Himalayan arc produced the largest known continental earthquake, the Mw≈ 8.7 Assam earthquake of 1950, but how frequently and where else in the Himalaya such large-magnitude earthquakes occur is not known. Paleoseismic evidence for coseismic ruptures at the front of the Himalaya with 15 to 30m of slip suggests even larger events in medieval times, but this inference is debated. Here we esti...

The growth of the southern piedmont Himalayan boundary and its depositional setting has changed since uplift Himalaya due to continental Indian-Eurasian collision, which resulted in variation magnetic minerals marine- terrestrial-facies sediments. In this paper, we utilize rock magnetism data from late Cretaceous middle Eocene strata, including Amile Bhainskati formations Lesser (western Nepal)...

Two dimensional slope profile morphometric investigation in a part of the land failure prone Garhwal region of the Lesser Himalaya, Tehri district, U. P., India, indicates that the landslip morphology is closely related to the dominant movement processes active in this terrain. Technique developed for the morphometric analysis of landslips involves the use of five morphometric indices. Each ind...

This paper qualifies the effect of different convection schemes and center-domains on the simulation of winter precipitation over Iran using RegCM3 numerical climate model. It is compressible, finite difference with hydrostatic equilibrium in sigma coordinate with a semi-implicit algorithm for reduction of horizontal diffusion. Iran experienced two dry and wet periods during winters of 1997 and...
