The 2015 Gorkha earthquake's rupture length was likely controlled by spatial variations in the Main Himalayan Thrust, according to a new study led by Prof. BAI Ling from the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research. The researchers used seismic waveforms and waveform modeling to determine source parameters and velocity structures.
