Rethinking ‘Hill‐Valley Divide’ in Darjeeling District, India: An Autoethnographic Approach to Highland Identities

Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research examines the Hill‐Valley divide in Darjeeling district, West Bengal, India, where Nepali‐speaking hill communities coexist with Bengali‐speaking valley populations. It argues that this division is a colonial construct, shaped by British policies that romanticised the hills as a ‘mini‐England’ while separating them from the valley

Garnet–monazite rare earth element relationships in sub-solidus metapelites: a case study from Bhutan [PDF]

, 2018
A key aim of modern metamorphic geochronology is to constrain precise and accurate rates and timescales of tectonic processes. One promising approach in amphibolite and granulite-facies rocks links the geochronological information recorded in zoned ...

Effects of grazing disturbances on soil seed bank diversity in two vegetation types

Global Ecology and Conservation
Soil seed bank (SSB) play an essential role in the restoration and regeneration of plant communities. Grazing is a common disturbance factor that exerts an important effect on the diversity and composition of the SSB community in forests.

Horizontal coseismic deformation of the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake measured from SPOT satellite images: Implications for the seismic cycle along the western foothills of central Taiwan [PDF]

, 2003
The 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake, M_w = 7.6, broke a major thrust fault along the western foothills of the Central Range of Taiwan. We have measured the horizontal coseismic displacement field by correlating optical satellite images acquired before and after ...

Geological processes shaping freshwater biodiversity: a synthesis of global evidence

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1568-1581, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent genomic data highlight the key roles of geological processes in shaping the diversification and biogeography of freshwater lineages. Specifically, physical processes such as tectonic uplift, erosion, glaciation, lake formation, and sea‐level fluctuation contribute extensively to the evolution of biotic diversity within and among ...
