Investigating spatially varying relationships between the distribution of rural settlements and related influences by Chenzhao Yuan, Guanglong Dong, Zheng Liu

“…The results of the traditional regression model suggest that total area, total population, road density, precipitation, road length, slope, longitude, and temperature significantly influence the rural settlement area, while those influencing the number of rural settlements are longitude, latitude, road length, road density, river length, and river density. …”

Crustal and Upper Mantle Structure of the Assam Valley Region, NE India: A Review of Geophysical Findings by Ilya Lozovsky, Ivan Varentsov, Devesh Walia

“…The north–south convergence along the Indo-Tibetan Himalayan Ranges and the east–west subduction within the Indo-Burma Ranges create a complex stress regime, resulting in significant seismic activity and a history of great/large earthquakes. The region’s intricate strain patterns, active faults, and potential seismic gaps underscore the need for detailed subsurface studies to effectively assess seismic hazards and impending seismicity. …”
