Overview

Observational analysis highlights seismic behaviour and recurrence potential of earthquakes in Kashmir Valley, indicating high seismic risk.

Key Points

  • Seismicity assessment found 488 earthquakes with magnitudes from 1.0 to 5.2, indicating active tectonic processes.
  • The Gutenberg-Richter b-value was calculated at 0.65, revealing a significant occurrence of moderate to large earthquakes.
  • Probabilistic analysis estimates that smaller earthquakes (<4.2) likely occur every 0.1 years, while large events (≥7.2) have long recurrence intervals.
  • Findings emphasize the need for resilient infrastructure and proactive policies to mitigate seismic hazards in the region.
