Degassing of metamorphic carbon dioxide from the Nepal Himalaya
[1] Geothermal activity is common at the foot of the Higher Himalaya near the Main Central Thrust (MCT), Nepal Himalaya. We have sampled hot springs along a 150 km stretch of the Himalayan front and find that they carry large fluxes of CO2 derived from metamorphic reactions. Hot spring fluids are saturated with CO2, have [DIC] from 1.3 to >100 mmol kg 1 and have dCDIC values from 13% to +13%(PD...
متن کاملMountain building in the Nepal Himalaya: Thermal and kinematic model
We model crustal deformation and the resulting thermal structure across the Nepal Himalaya, assuming that, since 20Ma, shortening across the range has been primarily taken up by slip along a single thrust fault, the Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT) Fault, and that the growth of the Himalayan wedge has resulted mainly from underplating and to the development of a duplex at midcrustal depth. We show t...
متن کاملMountain Tourism and Climate Change: Implications for the Nepal Himalaya
Mountain regions worldwide are affected by climate change. Indeed, mountains represent unique areas for the detection of climate change and the assessment of climate-related impacts (Beniston 2003; Messerli & Ives 1997). The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has predicted dramatic impacts on mountain ecosystems as a result of climate change. Changing climates will potentially alt...
متن کاملEthnobotany in the Nepal Himalaya
BACKGROUND Indigenous knowledge has become recognized worldwide not only because of its intrinsic value but also because it has a potential instrumental value to science and conservation. In Nepal, the indigenous knowledge of useful and medicinal plants has roots in the remote past. METHODS The present study reviews the indigenous knowledge and use of plant resources of the Nepal Himalayas al...
متن کاملInverted metamorphic sequence in the Sikkim Himalayas: crystallization history, P–T gradient and implications
The metapelitic rocks of the Sikkim Himalayas show an inverted metamorphic sequence (IMS) of the complete Barrovian zones from chlorite to sillimanite + K-feldspar, with the higher grade rocks appearing at progressively higher structural levels. Within the IMS, four groups of major planar structures, S1, S2 and S3 were recognised. The S2 structures are pervasive throughout the Barrovian sequenc...
