Temporal change in the structural fabric during pre- and post-26 January 2001 Bhuj earthquake, using remote sensing data

Umamaheswari, A.; Kumar, P. Pradeep; Sukhtankar, R. - In: Natural Hazards 72 (2014) 2, pp. 323-336

The Bhuj region, Kutch, India, is included in the highly seismic zonation map of India. The Kutch is a rift basin and so far has experienced three major earthquakes that are due to reverse fault mechanism, which in turn have been ascribed to compressive stresses. Origin of these stresses is...
