The book contributes to understanding the mechanics of the Himalayan earthquake cycle. The motivation for active fault mapping of the Kumaun Sub Himalaya (it includes Garhwal and Kumaun regions of Uttarakhand) is to gain insight to the level of seismic hazard imposed by large earthquakes along the Himalayan arc. The book presents the compilation of knowledge garnered in multi-disciplinary or proxy studies involved in understanding of seismic hazard in general and Kumaun Himalaya region 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 flow chart. 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 regions.
