Paleoenvironments in south India: Monsoon records from rainfed reservoirs

Break-Monsoon Over India

Interruption of monsoon rainfall by prolonged spells of sparse rainfall (break-monsoon) during the midmonsoon months of July and August over the plains of northern India (20°-29'N, 75O-85'E) has been investigated. When a tropical low-pressure system moves from the plains in a northerly direction toward the submontane region of the Himalaya, the monsoon trough of low pressure also moves from the...

Cerebral Phaeohyphomycosis: A Rare Case from South India

Background and Importance Cerebral phaeohyphomycosis is a rare but frequently fatal clinical entity caused by dematiaceous fungi like Cladophialophora bantiana. Clinical signs and symptoms related to fungal brain abscess can be subtle, and its imaging appearance may be indistinguishable from those of other intracranial mass lesions. Still, recognition of typical imaging patterns on CT and MRI ...

History and Prediction of the Asian Monsoon and Glacial Terminations, Based on Records from the South China Sea

East Asian monsoon climate during the Late Pleistocene: high-resolution sediment records from the South China Sea

Based on the study of 10 sediment cores and 40 core-top samples from the South China Sea (SCS) we obtained proxy records of past changes in East Asian monsoon climate on millennial to bidecadal time scales over the last 220,000 years. Climate proxies such as global sea level, estimates of paleotemperature, salinity, and nutrients in surface water, ventilation of deep water, paleowind strength, ...
