Abstract:
A morphotectonic study has been performed in the Pir Panjal Range (Southern Kashmir, Western Himalaya) to characterised the active tectonics. Along the Chenab River, we mapped 7 strath terraces at the hanging wall of the Medlicott Wadia Thrust, and dated 3 regional alluviation events using 3 methods (53 10Be samples, 12 OSL and 3 14C). The 3 methods are briefly presented and data are shown in a table. The three alluviation events correspond to the end of maximum monsoon phases.
