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...

Interferometry SAR for landslide Hazard Assessment in Garhwal Himalaya, India

Landslides are a major geological hazard in Garhwal Himalayas, since they are widespread dynamic processes that cause damage, and even loss of life, every year. Development of urban areas, Highway construction and expanded land use in Garhwal Himalaya mountain regions has increased the incidence of landslide disasters. The enormous damage caused by landslides can be reduced by means of monitori...

Auxiliary material for “Tectonic control on Be-derived erosion rates in the Garhwal Himalaya, India”

Tectonic control on 10Be-derived erosion rates in the Garhwal Himalaya, India

[1] Erosion in the Himalaya is responsible for one of the greatest mass redistributions on Earth and has fueled models of feedback loops between climate and tectonics. Although the general trends of erosion across the Himalaya are reasonably well known, the relative importance of factors controlling erosion is less well constrained. Here we present 25 Be-derived catchment-averaged erosion rates...
