Abstract

Instrumental measurements of the rate of movement of a major Himalayan overthrust are reported. The data are interpreted to determine the slip vector of the Nahan thrust. The horizontal component of the slip vector has a magnitude close to one centimetre per year and is oxientated 132° E (the movement is compressional). Absence of creep events on the strainmeter record during the short period of recording has been noted.
