Dendrogeomorphic potential of the Himalaya – case studies of process dating of natural hazards in Kullu valley, Himachal Pradesh [1]

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.
