Fault geometries and histories in western Nepal and implications for seismic hazards

The 2015 Mw7.8 Gorkha earthquake, Nepal, was a reminder of the seismic hazard presented by the Himalayan fault system. However, the earthquake was small in the context of Himalayan events.

The impact of fault-bend folding and high resolution bathymetry on models of tsunami generation

In subduction zones, the greatest hazard from earthquakes often comes from tsunami waves. However, models linking earthquake slip to tsunamis often fit data poorly (e.g.

Mechanisms of moisture isotopic fractionation and Asian monsoon dynamics since the last glacial maximum

For this project we propose a multi-proxy (trace elements, water inclusion and carbonate δ18O) study on speleothems collected from sites along a SW-NE transect in a region dominate
