Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Exhumation history of eastern Ladakh revealed by Ar-40/Ar-39 and fission-track ages: the Indus River-Tso Morari transect, NW Himalaya [PDF]
Fission-track and Ar-40/Ar-39 ages place time constraints on the exhumation of the North Himalayan nappe stack, the Indus Suture Zone and Molasse, and the Transhimalayan Batholith in eastern Ladakh (NW India).

Landslide hazards in eastern Himalayas
The Himalayas, with extreme variations in relief, are characterised by very steep slopes, harsh (i.e. cold and humid) climate and a dynamic geotectonic setting. These characteristics appear responsible for widespread slope failures and mass movements, which are often accentuated by various human activities.
