The youngest fault system in the Himalayan orogeny is the Main Frontal Thrust (MFT), the frontal ramp of theMain Himalayan Thrust, which is expected to host the largest and most damaging earthquakes in Nepal. Wecharacterize the upper few hundred meters below the surface across two MFT fault strands...
