Satellite Data‐based Structural Mapping Reveals Active Panjal Traps Fault (PTF) in Kashmir, NW Himalaya.

The article "Satellite Data-based Structural Mapping Reveals Active Panjal Traps Fault (PTF) in Kashmir, NW Himalaya" published in Acta Geologica Sinica discusses the identification of an active fault, the Panjal Traps Fault (PTF), in the Kashmir region of the Himalayan orogenic belt. The study uses satellite data to map evidence of the fault's activity, indicating its potential to cause major earthquakes. The fault is associated with tectonic landforms, glacial features, and river tilting, highlighting its impact on the region's geological and hazard landscape. [Extracted from the article]
