Active tectonics of Kumaun and Garhwal Himalaya[electronic resource] /by R. Jayangondaperumal ... [et al.]. - Singapore :Springer Singapore :2018. - xvi, 150 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Springer natural hazards,2365-0656. - Springer natural hazards..

Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. Mapping of Active Faults -- Chapter 3. Active Faults in Kumaun and Garhwal Himalaya -- Chapter 4. Concluding Comments and Structure of Online Interactive Active Fault Database.

The book contributes to understanding the pattern of strain release and the level of seismic hazard imposed by large-great earthquakes in the frontal fold-thrust belts of Kumaun and Garhwal regions of Uttarakhand. The motivation for active fault studies and their characterization have been emphasized. The book presents the compilation of knowledge garnered in multidisciplinary or proxy studies involved in the understanding of seismic hazard in general and Kumaun-Garhwal Himalaya regions in particular with lucid new maps draped on modern Cartosat or SRTM DEM data. It also discusses satellite image calibration, active faults identiﬁcations, and map productions with ﬂowchart. The book discusses window-wise active fault elements with attributes together with the tectonic geomorphic map. It also includes active fault scarp with topographic proﬁle along with ﬁeld photographs. Finally, it reviews all existing seismotectonic models of the Himalaya, its earthquake hazard, and its vulnerability, speciﬁcally for Kumaun and Garhwal regions.
