Digital Seismic Network:To Map Himalayan Orogen and Seismic Hazard

According to the Gutenberg–Richter law¹, at least one earthquake of magnitude greater than 7 occurs every month along the seismically active belts in the world. Earthquakes are the manifestation of fault slip at depths, thus, there is no direct method to measure or observe them. However, seismometers can record ground velocity or acceleration caused by the occurrence of an earthquake when a fault slip occurs at depth. Therefore, setting up a seismic network is inevitable to understand the physics of earthquake processes, thereby, mitigating earthquake hazard.
