Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment of Nepal using multiple seismic source models
Earth and Planetary Physics, 2018 The potential for devastating earthquakes in the Himalayan orogeny has long been recognized. The 2015 MW7.8 Gorkha, Nepal earthquake has heightened the likelihood that major earthquakes will occur along this orogenic belt in the future.

Surface uplift, uplift of rocks, and exhumation of rocks
Geology, 1990 Uplift of the surface of mountain belts requires forces that are comparable in magnitude to those associated with plate motion, and therefore determination of rates of surface uplift could provide important information on the dynamics of mountain ranges.

Mapping of uplift hazard due to rising groundwater level during floods
Journal of Flood Risk Management, 2020 European Directive 2007/60/EC only briefly mentions the problem of hazard arising due to groundwater flooding, and techniques for the mapping of hazard occuring due to rising groundwater have not yet been scientifically developed. The groundwater‐related
