Quantifying slip rates and earthquake occurrence of active faults on the Shan Plateau, southeast of the easternHimalayan syntaxis, is critical to assessing the seismic hazard and understanding the kinematics and geody-namics of this region. Most previous estimates of slip rates are averaged over eit...
