Northern Potwar Deformed Zone (NPDZ) is a part of the foreland zone of NW Himalayan folds and thrust belt. Seismicity map has been prepared for this region, which appears to be less active as compared with adjacent regions with apparently no distinct pattern or relationship with surface structures. Focal mechanism solutions of 4 events, for which required parameters are available, indicate left-lateral strike-slip faulting for 3 events and thrusting for one event. P-axes orientations are in NW-SE and NE-SW. Basement is most likely involved in the ongoing deformation.
The conference comprised four-days of indoor oral and poster presentations and two post-conference field excursions to the Emeishan large igneous province and the North China Craton.The conference attracted over 200 scientists (including 53 graduate students) from 28 countries including Australia,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
