Overview

Research identifies crustal thickness and seismic risk in Gilgit City, suggesting high potential damage from earthquakes.

Key Points

  • Crustal thickness was successfully determined using S-wave velocity data and advanced seismic analysis techniques.
  • Seismic risk estimates were made for future earthquake scenarios in Gilgit City, highlighting significant potential infrastructure damage.
  • The study utilized waveform data from the last two years to create a detailed model of the crustal structure in Gilgit.
  • Findings emphasize the need for improved earthquake preparedness in areas near the Main Karakoram and Main Mantle Thrust.
