Finding the ghosts: Snow leopard density and distribution in the multi‐use region of Jammu and Kashmir, India

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
We assess the population of snow leopards in the multi‐use region of Paddar in Jammu and Kashmir, India. Alongside we also investigate local land uses and estimate snow leopard distribution across Jammu and Kashmir. This study adds to the evidence that big cats, especially snow leopards, need landscape‐level conservation strategies, rather than solely ...

Raising the Roof of the World: Intra‐Crustal Asian Mantle Supports the Himalayan‐Tibetan Orogen

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract The Himalayan‐Tibetan orogen formed via the ongoing collision of India and Asia. Its colossal elevations stem from buoyant crustal roots that doubled in thickness during continental collision, widely believed to result from Indian crust under‐thrusting its Asian counterpart and Asian crustal thickening. However, a single crustal layer of up to

Surficial geomorphic expressions along the Zanskar shear zone (ZSZ), NW Himalaya, India

Quaternary Science Advances
There is substantial evidence of the dynamic interplay between surficial geomorphic processes and active tectonics in the Zanskar Shear Zone (ZSZ), northwest Himalaya, India.

A mixed‐methods approach for identifying high conservation value areas in the high‐altitude landscapes of the Indian Himalayan region

Geo: Geography and Environment, Volume 12, Issue 1, January‐June 2025.
Short Abstract A new framework for identifying high conservation value (HCV) areas has been developed. A mixed‐method approach incorporating multi‐step modelling was employed. HCVs provide a strategic tool for guiding conservation efforts and prioritizing resource allocation. HCVs support the sustainable management of natural resources and conservation

LES SERIES DETRITIQUES DU BASSIN DE L'INDUS AU LADAKH: NOUVELLES DONNEES STRATIGRAPHIQUES ET STRUCTURALES

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2020
The study of the Indus detritic series in the western part of the Indus basin, between Khalsi and the Zanskar river allows us to distinguish various lithostratigraphic units. New datations have been obtained in several sedimentar y horizons.

Locked Frontal and Lateral Ramps on the Main Himalayan Thrust Beneath NW Himalaya Illuminated by Precisely Located Seismicity

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 51, Issue 21, 16 November 2024.
Abstract The Kashmir “seismic gap” in NW Himalaya is marked by hinterland‐to‐foreland reduction in GPS‐geodetic arc‐normal convergence‐velocity and increase in horizontal strain‐rate, associated with occurrence of moderate‐to‐small earthquakes. We analyze continuous waveforms from Jammu and Kashmir seismological network (2015–2017) to detect and ...

Provenance and drainage system of the Early Cretaceous volcanic detritus in the Himalaya as constrained by detrital zircon geochronology

Journal of Palaeogeography, 2015
The age range of the major intra-plate volcanic event that affected the northern Indian margin in the Early Cretaceous is here defined precisely by detrital zircon geochronology.

Mio‐Pliocene paleo‐course of Indus River in Upper Sutlej‐Zhada basin: Implication of tectonic uplift on river piracy and drainage reorganization in SW Tibet and NW Himalaya

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 49, Issue 13, Page 4428-4443, October 2024.
The capture of the proto‐Sutlej by the headward eroding Upper Indus River as a consequence of a >1500 m base level change in the Zhada basin exerted an impact on regional growth and tectonics. The gradual expansion of the Leo‐Pargil Horst and the ensuing transient uplift‐incision regime resulted in the capture of the Zhada paleo‐lake ~<5.6 Ma ago. This

Phylogenetic relatedness of plant species co‐occurring with an invasive alien plant species varies with elevation

Ecosphere, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2024.
Abstract Darwin's naturalization conundrum posits that the alien species either succeed in the introduced region because they are phylogenetically related to the native species and thus tend to have niches similar to those of native species, or they are phylogenetically dissimilar to native species and thus occupy unfilled niches.

TRIASSIC OF SPITI (TETHYS HIMALAYA, N INDIA)

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2017
The successions exposed in the Pin and Spiti valleys, a classical area for the Tethyan Triassic, provides an extraordinarily complete sedimentary and paleontologic record and is thus well-suited to check the validity of global eustatic charts and ...
