Recent stress azimuth in Darjeeling-Sikkim Himalaya measured by FEMR technique and subsequent slip tendency of the thrust planes

This device measures the Fracture Induced Electromagnetic Radiations (FEMR) from a geologically active region. The FEMR was measured in 28 locations and further interpolated for the whole region by subdividing the area into smaller grids.

The interpolated stress azimuth is also included along with the thrust strike within a particular grid. The thrust strike and stress azimuth relationship are also used for slip tendency measurement at different places of the thrust units.
