Abstract

Abstract Analysis of a mosaic of Landsat 2 MSS band 7 images covering the northern Nanga Parbat-Haramosh Massif (NPHM) has yielded approximately 540 lineaments, defined by sets of colinear drainage segments and aligned linear graytone boundaries. We recognized segments of the few well-mapped faults along the NPHM as lineaments. The paucity of field data concerning faults, joints, lithological fabric and contacts prevents us from interpreting most of the lineaments at this time. However, some of the prominent lineament trends probably mark the trace of previously unmapped active faults that accommodate the recent uplift of the NPHM. The origins of these lineaments must be established through structural geological field work.
