“…Any error in this would imply an overestimation of age. In the present context, existing evidence suggests that sufficient predepositional zeroing during the fluvial transport of sediment grains occurred (Mukul et al, 2007;Srivastava and Misra, 2008). Fifteen samples from different terraces were collected and are detailed in Table 1.…”

“…In the Namche Barwa region of the Eastern Syntaxis Bend (ESB) where the fission track dating of the metamorphic core indicates rapid uplift and exhumation of $30 km during the last 4 Ma (Burg et al, 1997), and where the mountain front has been deforming (Nakata, 1989). Uplifted fluvial terraces, abrupt changes in channel pattern and steep triangular facets suggest tectonic activity along the N-S and NE-SW trending faults in the Lohit and Dibang river valleys in Eastern Himalaya (Misra, 2007;Srivastava and Misra, 2008). However, few studies exist that chronologically constrain geomorphic evolution and examine it in the context of climatic and tectonic activities.…”

“…The southern limit of Siwalik Hills is almost flat and shows rapid base level changes during the Holocene. However the fast rate of base level change can be explained as a tectonic interaction (Lave and Avouac, 2000;Starkel, 2003;Srivastava and Misra, 2008).…”

“…The central segment of the Kumaun Lesser Himalaya is seismically very active (Bilham et al, 1998;Bilham and Gaur, 2000;Pollitz et al, 2008). The geomorphic development in the Himalaya is a result of the interaction between climate and tectonics (Molnar, 2003;Starkel, 2003;Srivastava and Misra, 2008). The neotectonic activities in the frontal margin of Kumaun Himalaya are attributed to the formation out of sequence thrusts and erosion leading to isostatic adjustments (Bookhagen et al, 2005;Hodges et al, 2004;Wobus et al, 2006).…”

“…Thirteen uplifted terraces along the Tons river at the northern side of the Tons thrust ( figure 1(b)) have been observed that exhibit an elevation up to 120 m from the present course of the river. The thickness of the incised bedrock indicates neotectonic uplift (Srivastava and Misra 2008) and these fluvial terraces preserve a composite record of regional variation in climate, tectonics and surface processing of sediments . The asymmetric nature of the majority of these terraces and their bedrock examinations in the study area suggest that the terraces are uplifted along the preexisting faults, which have been reactivated perhaps due to neotectonic activities prevalent in the area.…”
