Dendrogeomorphic potential of the Himalaya – case studies of process dating of natural hazards in Kullu valley, Himachal Pradesh
Trees impacted by the forces of natural processes such as flash floods, snow avalanches, landslides, rockfalls or earthquakes, record these events and exhibit growth disturbances in their growth-ring series. As a consequence, these disturbances provide an excellent signal for the spatio-temporal reconstruction of past natural hazard activity and a means to date and document past disasters.
