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. 330 $aThe book contributes to understanding the pattern of strain release and the level of seismic hazard imposed by large-great earthquakes in the frontal fold-thrust belts of Kumaun and Garhwal regions of Uttarakhand. The motivation for active fault studies and their characterization have been emphasized. The book presents the compilation of knowledge garnered in multidisciplinary or proxy studies involved in the understanding of seismic hazard in general and Kumaun?Garhwal Himalaya regions in particular with lucid new maps draped on modern Cartosat or SRTM DEM data. It also discusses satellite image calibration, active faults identi?cations, and map productions with ?owchart. The book discusses window-wise active fault elements with attributes together with the tectonic geomorphic map. It also includes active fault scarp with topographic pro?le along with ?eld photographs. Finally, it reviews all existing seismotectonic models of the Himalaya, its earthquake hazard, and its vulnerability, speci?cally for Kumaun and Garhwal regions. 410 0$aSpringer Natural Hazards,$x2365-0656 606 $aNatural disasters 606 $aStructural geology 606 $aGeotechnical engineering 606 $aNatural Hazards$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G32000 606 $aStructural Geology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17040 606 $aGeotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G37010 615 0$aNatural disasters. 615 0$aStructural geology. 615 0$aGeotechnical engineering. 615 14$aNatural Hazards. 615 24$aStructural Geology. 615 24$aGeotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Sciences. 676 $a555.496 700 $aJayangondaperumal$b R$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01062954 702 $aThakur$b V.
