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.
