Glacier mass balance and its climatic and nonclimatic drivers in the Ladakh region during 2000–2021 from remote sensing data

Journal of Glaciology
This study investigates the geodetic mass balance of nearly all glaciers in the Ladakh region, which are crucial for local water security. Utilizing multiple digital elevation models from 2000 and 2021, we estimate glacier mass balances. Climatic drivers

The Size of Greater India: Estimates by Comparing the Apparent Polar Wander Paths of the Tethyan Himalaya and the Indian Craton

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The northern extent of Greater India is a critical, yet highly debated, parameter for reconstructing the India‐Asia collision. Previous paleomagnetic estimates, including the fill‐the‐gap and fixed great circle approaches, yield widely varying results, spanning from ∼200 to ∼3,000 km. These large discrepancies stem principally from two primary

Beyond Deterministic Fetal Programming: Intrauterine Exposures and the Multifactorial Origins of Adiposity

Obesity Reviews, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Excess adiposity is not a recently developed problem but has existed since at least the upper Paleolithic, allowing evolutionary selection pressures to adapt the physiology of the pregnant woman and the feto‐placental unit for maternal and fetal protection.

Provenance Constraints on Early India–Asia Collision: Evidence From the Late Cretaceous–Early Cenozoic Sulaiman–Katawaz Basin Fill

Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
Integrated detrital zircon U–Pb, Nd–Sr isotopes and thermochronology record western Indian‐margin provenance reorganisation. Late Cretaceous–Palaeocene sediment supply was Indian‐affinity; Asian‐affinity input appeared across the Palaeocene–Eocene transition (~56.5–54.7 Ma), suggesting India–Asia collision was underway, while mixed provenance persisted
