The Active Tectonics group focuses on researching seismic hazards along the Himalayan Frontal Thrust (HFT) through a combination of remote sensing techniques, thorough field investigations, and paleoseismology. This comprehensive approach allows the group to assess and understand the potential risks posed by tectonic activity in the region. By utilizing remote sensing data and conducting on-site studies, the group contributes to a deeper knowledge of the geological processes involved, aiding in developing more accurate seismic hazard assessments.
