The 8 October 2005 Muzaffarabad earthquake was the deadhest earthquake In the history of Indian subcontinent Its epicenter located 10 km northeast of Muzaffarabad lies in the lndus Kohistan Seismic Zone (IKSZ), which represents northwestern continuation of the microseismicity and moderate earthquakes belt of Garhwal, Kumaun and Nepal A multi-institution team undertook post earthquake studies along the LOC and adjoining areas in Tangdhar, Un and Poonch sectors of Kashmir, India The Tangdhar area lying on the hanging wall and the Un area close to the rupture zone have suffered much more damage In comparision to the Poonch region located on the footwall An isoseismal map of the earthquake affected region has been prepared on the basis of our observations and website data The opened-up cracks and lateral spreads mapped In the Tangdhar and Un reglonishow both right-lateral as well as left-lateral strike-slip and vertical motions of a few cm to 30 cm The Mw 7 6 Muzaffarabad earthquake has ruptured a segment -80 km x 50 km west of the closure of Kashrmr Valley An earlier mapped active fault of en echelon nature, trending NW-SE and extending from Balakot to Muzaffarabad and further southeast along the eastern bank of river Jhelum, coincldes with linear trend of the aftershocks belt and the rupture plane of the earthquake The knowledge gamed through ths earthquake implies that a selismic gap of a similar size of unruptured segment that lies between the 1555 Kashmir (Mw 7 5) and 1905 Kangra (Mw 7 8) earthquakes, where there is no historical record of a large earthquake for more than 500 years, may be ripe for a large event.Keywords

The 2005 Kashmir earthquake of magnitude Mw 7.6 produced 75 km surface rupture showing 3-7 m vertical offset. The surface rupture nearly coinciding with the bedrock geology-defined Balakot-Bagh Fault (BBF) indicates reactivation of the fault. The BBF extends SE with right-step to the Reasi Thrust in Jammu region. Further SE extension of the Reasi Thrust has been mapped with different nomenclature to the 1905 Kangra earthquake meizoseismal region, suggesting linkage between the earthquake and the active fault. There is no historical record of a large magnitude Mw>7 event for the last ~1000 years in the eastern segment of the Kashmir seismic gap, may imply ~12 m slip deficit in the region.Keywords

Kinematic information from deformation structures and magnetic fabrics are used to infer recent tectonics around Kangra and Dehradun recesses, western Himalaya. Three types of magnetic fabrics (Type I&II, III, and IV) are identified based on the angle between K3 axis and bedding pole. It was observed that Kangra recess shows more mature fabric type IV as compared to Dehradun recess, where orientation of K3 axes and tectonic fabric reveals dominance of superposed deformation. In the vicinity of Dehradun recess, normal faults occur in un-indurated Quaternary fan deposits confirming their recent formation. The observations are in conformity with earlier studies that during the 1905 Kangra earthquake, the Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) (or one of its subsidiary thrusts) near Kangra showed thrusting whereas the MBT near Dehradun underwent either normal faulting or post seismic adjustments characteristic of normal faulting. The thrusting could be a result of subsurface processes whereas the normal faulting was a result of prevailing surface strains.Keywords

Pangong Tso is a brackish water lake that lies along Pangong strand of the Karakoram strike–slip fault in arid Trans Himalayan region. The geomorphic mapping along the periphery of the lake suggested the presence of four palaeolake level strands located at 6, 4.8, 3.8 and 1.25 m above the present lake level. The gullied periphery expose relict deltaic sediments where sedimentological study enabled us to identify four deltaic lobes that make a classic Gilbert-type delta with well-developed top-set, fore-set and bottom-set. The top-set of the stratigraphically oldest delta lobe that corresponds to the highest lake level shows the presence of freshwater molluscs identified as Radix and a burnt sediment layer (hearth). The charcoal derived from this layer yielded 14C date as 1.7 ka BP and six luminescence ages from different delta lobes suggested that delta evolution and lake level fall of ~6 m took place between ~2–1 ka. Review of palaeoclimate record available from NW Himalaya and Pangong Tso suggests that late Holocene aridity might be responsible for this rapid lake level fall. Sclerochronological analysis carried out on 54 subsamples from three Radix specimens suggested that the modern type of seasonal conditions may have prevailed at ~1.7 ka BP.Keywords
