Ethnobotany 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 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 کاملQuantifying periglacial erosion in the Nepal high Himalaya
Quantifying erosion rates in high mountain environments is challenging because the erosional processes are often stochastic and catastrophic. Distinguishing between periglacial and glacial rates is especially challenging. In this study we focus on determining erosion rates from a glaciated alpine landscape where the bedrock sidewalls are eroding predominantly by blockfall.We utilize a topograph...
متن کاملModelling glacier change in the Everest region, Nepal Himalaya
In this study, we apply a glacier mass balance and ice redistribution model to examine the sensitivity of glaciers in the Everest region of Nepal to climate change. Highresolution temperature and precipitation fields derived from gridded station data, and bias-corrected with independent station observations, are used to drive the historical model from 1961 to 2007. The model is calibrated again...
متن کاملSeasonal modulation of seismicity in the Himalaya of Nepal
[1] For the period 1995–2000, the Nepal seismic network recorded 37 ± 8% fewer earthquakes in the summer than in the winter; for local magnitudes ML > 2 to ML > 4 the percentage increases from 31% to 63% respectively. We show the probability of observing this by chance is less than 1%. We find that most surface loading phenomena are either too small, or have the wrong polarity to enhance winter...
