9972955WesnouskyThe active convergence between the Indian subcontinent and Asia has resulted in the highest mountain range in the world and the occurrence of the largest intracontinental earthquakes on record. The purpose of this collaborative research is to combine geologic, geodetic and seismologic techniques to study the spatial and temporal pattern of strain accumlation and release across the thrust system, and the relationship of that strain pattern to the process of continental plate collision. Results are expected to place quantitative constraints on the mechanics of mountain building across the Himalaya, and provide insight into the associated seismic hazzard.

9972955韦斯诺斯基印度次大陆和亚洲之间的活跃会聚导致了世界上最高的山脉和有记录以来最大的陆内地震的发生。 这项合作研究的目的是将联合收割机地质学、大地测量学和地震学技术结合起来，研究逆冲断层系统中应变释放和释放的空间和时间模式，以及这种应变模式与大陆板块碰撞过程的关系。 预计结果将对喜马拉雅山脉的造山机制进行定量限制，并提供对相关地震灾害的深入了解。
