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

River Sand and Gravel Mining: Global Drivers, Impacts, and Pathways for Sustainable Management

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract River sand and gravel are mined worldwide at volumes that now rival their natural replenishment, yet quantitative knowledge of this mining activity and its consequences lags far behind many other global environmental pressures. We synthesize 411 peer‐reviewed studies published since 1974 within a new Driver‐to‐Management Pathway for ...
