Dissected landside topography, Hydrothermal alteration, Active Mountain beltsAbstract
Overlooked geological risks in active mountain belts of non-volcanic regions like the Himalayas include large-scale dissented landslide topography and hydrothermal alteration from past igneous activity. The keynote lecture will present case studies from the Shikoku Mountains in Southwest Japan and their application to the Nepal Himalayas.
