Jayangondaperumal, V. C. Thakur, V. Joevivek, Priyanka Singh Rao, Anil Kumar Gupta1st ed. 2018.Singapore :Springer Singapore :Imprint: Springer,2018.1 online resource (163 pages)Springer Natural Hazards,2365-0656981-10-8242-1 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.Springer Natural Hazards,2365-0656Natural disastersStructural geologyGeotechnical engineeringNatural Hazardshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G32000Structural Geologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17040Geotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G37010Natural disasters.Structural geology.Geotechnical engineering.Natural Hazards.Structural Geology.Geotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Sciences.555.496Jayangondaperumal Rauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1062954Thakur V.
