NW Himalayan thrust front and foreland basin

Part of "The Shear Zone" video channel. A study of the tectonic controls on foreland basin development and sedimentation, and how the stratigraphic record of these deposits can track tectonic processes.

Thank you

Thank you for uploading! this was really useful.

Excellent lecture on foreland deposition patterns in Himalaya. I have one question. Does the foreland deposition is only preserved south of MBT in NW Himalaya?

[@robbutler2095]

Interesting question, and - for the NW Himalayas, it depends on what you mean by the MBT. For sure there are (active) sedimentary basins on top of the "MBT" - these are the thrust top basins of Peshawar and Kashmir. In Margalla Hills (if I recall from my visits a LONG time ago, N of Islamabad), there are Rawalpindi Gp rocks (early foredeep) stacked up with the Mesozoic-Eocene limestones.... Certainly you'd have thought that there were (fairly thick) foreland basin rocks deposited on the cover strata in the (future) hangingwall to the MBT... subsequently cannibalised into younger foredeep strata....

These deposits are south east of MBT in hazara kashmir syntex
