Modeling the Distribution and Environmental Preferences of the Ladakh Urial in the Arid Himalayas. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study contributes to the understanding of the habitat selected by a vulnerable sub‐species with a highly restricted range influenced by local climatic conditions. ABSTRACT Mountains play a crucial role in shaping the climate of an area and subsequently, the environments and species that are suited to those particular conditions.

Journal of the Palaeontological Society of India, 2023 In the northwest Himalayas, the Cambrian sequences forming part of the Tethyan Himalayan Zone are well preserved in the Zanskar and Spiti regions. In the present work, we critically examine the geologic, stratigraphic and biostratigraphic aspects of the ...

Permian Large Igneous Provinces and Their Paleoenvironmental Effects
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 417-434., 2021 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.

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 61, Issue 4, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Populations and infrastructure in high mountain regions are exposed to a wide range of natural hazards, the frequency, magnitude, and location of which are extremely sensitive to climate change. In cases where several hazards can occur simultaneously or where the occurrence of one event will change the disposition of another, assessments need ...

Eikonal Equation Reproduces Natural Landscapes With Threshold Hillslopes
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 50, Issue 21, 16 November 2023., 2023 Abstract Many natural landscapes maintain steep planar hillslopes bounded at a typical angle, beyond which shallow landslides or slope failures remove the excess sediment volume by mass wasting. Here we show that the celebrated eikonal equation, derived from a landscape evolution model in conditions of negligible soil diffusion and fluvial erosion ...

Environmental DNA revealed high accuracy in detection of the Eurasian otter in Himalaya
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 33, Issue 11, Page 1309-1320, November 2023., 2023 Abstract A precise framework of species occurrence and distribution trends is crucial for conservation measures. Traditional survey methods are often labour‐intensive and time‐consuming, and they can be ineffective in detecting the presence of rare and elusive taxa, especially in harsh environments. The effectiveness and feasibility of an environmental

A Smaller Greater India and a Middle‐Early Eocene Collision With Asia
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 When and how the collision between India‐Asia occurred continue to be debated. We report new paleomagnetic data (Ds = 158.8°, Is = 7.8°, ks = 81.3, α95 = 5.1°, N = 11 sites) from limestone of the Zongpu Formation Member I in the Tingri, which indicate ...
