     abstract = "{The interaction between seasonally-induced non-tectonic and tectonic
        deformation along the Himalayan plate boundary remains debated.
        Here, we propose that tectonic deformation along this plate
        boundary can be significantly influenced by the deformation
        induced by the non-tectonic hydrological loading cycles. We
        explore seasonal mass oscillations by continental water storage
        in Southeast Asia and Himalayan arc region using continuous
        Global Positioning System measurements and satellite data from
        the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment. We suggest that the
        substantially higher transient displacements above the base of
        the seismogenic zone indicate a role of changes in aseismic slip
        rate on the deep megathrust that may be controlled by seasonal
        hydrological loading. We invoke modulation of aseismic slip on
        the megathrust down-dip of the seismogenic zone due to a fault
        resonance process induced by the seasonal stress changes. This
        process modulates mid-crustal ramp associated micro-seismicity
        and influences the timing of Central Himalayan earthquakes.}",
