The structure and stratigraphy of SE Zanskar, Ladakh Himalaya

Journal of the Geological Society, 1990
A field study of over 4 km thickness of Cambro-Ordovician to Cretaceous sediments deposited on the passive margin of northern India has provided significant new data on the thickness, age and depositional environments of these deposits. The first detailed structural map of the Phuctal area and a regional map of Eastern Zanskar are presented, together ...

Holocene hydroclimatic variability in the Zanskar Valley, Northwestern Himalaya, India

Quaternary Research, 2020
AbstractA 1.3-m-long sediment core from the Penzi-la pass, Zanskar Valley, provides a record of hydroclimatic conditions and abrupt climate changes over short time scales since the mid-Holocene. These climatic changes of centennial time scale are crucial to understanding the hydroclimatic variability in northwestern (NW) Himalaya.

Extensional tectonics in the Himalayan orogen, Zanskar, NW India

Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 1993
Abstract Large-scale nappes of the deformed Higher Himalayan Crystallines (HHC) were thrust southward over the Lesser Himalayan Proterozoic foreland during the Late Cenozoic. Critical evaluation of shear fabrics, reveals that the HHC underwent an earlier phase of ductile shearing with top-to-southwest overthrust-type sense of movement.

Trace Fossils from the Cambrian Sequence of Zanskar (Ladakh Himalaya)

Journal Geological Society of India, 1998
Abstract Spiti - Zanskar Basin of Himalaya exposes rocks ranging in age from Proterozoic to Early Cenozoic. Cambrian trilobites, brachiopods and trace fossils are known from the Kurgiakh area of the basin. The present paper concerns with Early Cambrian trace fossils reported from the same stratigraphic section in which trilobite body ...

Mesozoic Ammonites from the Spong Valley, Zanskar, N. W. India

Journal Geological Society of India, 1982
Abstract A Callovian-Oxfordian sphaeroceratid, (?) Prograyiceras, proves for the first time, the presence of Jurassic flysch in the allochthonous Spongtang Klippe. A berriasellid, Kilianella, similarly proves the presence of probable Valanginian in the autochthonous shelf sequence of the Zanskar range, and supports the presence of the ...

Frozen landscapes: climate-adaptive design interventions in Ladakh and Zanskar

Landscape Research, 2016
AbstractDuring the course of the past three decades, a number of subsistence agricultural villages in the Himalayan mountain range have witnessed ever-shrinking glaciers and an increasingly erratic supply of glacial meltwater. Having relied on these relatively stable reserves for crop irrigation for centuries, today’s high-Himalayan farmers must now ...
