Crustal Configuration and Seismic Stability of the Eastern Indian Shield and Adjoining Regions: Insights for Incidents of Great Earthquakes in the Nepal-Bihar-Sikkim Himalaya
The Eastern Indian Shield (EIS) is comprised of the intracratonic (coal-bearing) Damodar Gondwana basin, rift-controlled extensional Lower Gangetic basin (LGB), and the downward flexed Indo-Gangetic basin (IGB). The present study involves the computations and mapping of the basement configuration, s...
