India is the second-most populous country and the second-most important producer of rice of the world. Most Indian rice production depends on monsoon timing and dynamics. In 2002, the lowest monsoon precipitation of the last 130+ years was observed. It coincided with the worst rice production anomaly recorded by FAOSTAT from 1961 to 2014. In that year, freshwater limitation was blamed as respon...

Two separate and distinct diamictite-rich units occur in the mixed carbonate-siliciclastic PolarisbreenGroup, which comprises the top kilometer of47 km of Neoproterozoic strata in the northeast of the Svalbard archipelago.The platformal succession accumulated on the windward, tropical to subtropical margin of Laurentia.The older PetrovbreenMember is a thin glacimarine diamictite that lacks a ca...

The Antarctic Digital Magnetic Anomaly Project’s first-generation magnetic anomaly map (ADMAP-1) was produced for the region south of 60°S from about 1.5 million line-kms airborne and marine data (Golynsky et al., 2001; https://www.bas.ac.uk/data/our-data/maps/thematic-maps/admap-magnetic-anomaly-map-of-the-antarctic/). second-generation ADMAP-2 compilation 2017; https://doi.org/10.22663/ADMAP....

Abstract Under global warming, many glaciers worldwide are receding. However, recent studies have suggested the extension of Karakoram Anomaly, a region anomalous glacier mass gain, into western Kunlun and eastern Pamir mountains. limit this anomaly in Mountains is unclear. This study, using changes area surface elevation, estimates Kunlun-Pamir-Karakoram at ~85°E. Over past 50 years, west 85°E...

The. ce.c.c•ncl largest volcanic province on Mar• lies in the E!?ium region I•ike the larger Tharsis province, Elysium is marked by a topographic rise and a broad free air gravity anomaly and also exhibits a complex assortment of tectonic and volcanic features. We test the hypothesis that the tectonic features in the Elysium region are the product of stresses produced by loading of the Martian ...

fusion is a developmental anomaly defined as the :union: of two normally separated tooth buds or the partial splitting of one tooth bud into two buds. depending on the stage of development, fusion may be either complete or incomplete. the significance of this particular case was that this fusion occurred in a posterior permanent mandibular tooth, while such a manifestation is more reported in m...

In 2015, an emergency state was declared in Bolivia when Poopó Lake dried up. Climate variability and the increasing need for water are potential factors responsible for this situation. Because field data are missing over the region, no statements are possible about the influence of mentioned factors. This study is a preliminary step toward the understanding of Poopó Lake drought using remote s...

Introduction: The geologic features “shield fields” and “shield plains” (or “shield terrain”) have been used by a number of Venus researchers and authors of Venus geologic quadrangle maps. However, there has been occasional confusion concerning the two terms and the geologic units they define. Stratigraphic interpretation may vary due to the identification of clusters of small shields as either...
