Late Holocene climatic changes in Garhwal Himalaya
Geochemical study of a 3.55 m long lake sediment core from the Badanital Lake (Garhwal Himalaya) reveals Late Holocene centennial-scale climatic changes. The ecosystem of the tectonically formed lake seems to be controlled by natural and anthropogenic factors. The imprints of four major global events, e.g. 4.2 ka event, Medieval Warm Period (MWP), Little Ice Age (LIA) and modern warming are obs...
متن کاملTiming and extent of late Quaternary glaciation in the western Himalaya constrained by 10Be moraine dating in Garhwal, India
Glacial chronologies from the Himalayan region indicate various degrees of asynchronous glacial behavior. Part of this has been related to different sensitivities of glaciers situated in contrasting climatic compartments of the orogen, but so far field data in support for this hypothesis is lacking. Here, we present a new 10Be-derived glacial chronology for the upper Tons valley in western Garh...
متن کاملNeotectonic Evidences of Rejuvenation in KaurikChango Fault Zone, Northwestern Himalaya
Neotectonic investigations using morphotectonic parameters such as basin asymmetry, drainage anomalies, digital data interpretation and geomorphic field evidences were carried out in Satluj river valley downstream of Khab in the Kaurik Chango Fault (KCF) zone. The study reveals the presence of a north-south trending fault which is similar to the KCF. Unpaired, tilted terraces, V shaped valleys,...
متن کاملEthnomedicinal and ecological status of plants in Garhwal Himalaya, India
BACKGROUND The northern part of India harbours a great diversity of medicinal plants due to its distinct geography and ecological marginal conditions. The traditional medical systems of northern India are part of a time tested culture and honored still by people today. These traditional systems have been curing complex disease for more than 3,000 years. With rapidly growing demand for these med...
متن کاملRates and magnitudes of paraglacial fan formation in the Garhwal Himalaya: implications for landscape evolution
The development of paraglacial fans, studied in the upper Bhagirathi valley, Garhwal Himalaya, northern India, relates to the retreat of the Gangotri Glacier over the last 200 years. These fans demonstrate the speed by which mass movement and fluvial processes may lead to the modification and readjustment of the Himalayan landscapes during deglaciation. The paraglacial fans in this region grew ...
