M. P. Searle's recent paper in the Journal of Structural Geology (Searle 1986) included a major departure from published structural interpretations of the Ladakh Himalaya. The geologic history of Ladakh is a vital key to understanding the timing and sequence of events during the Himalayan orogeny. Ophiolitic rocks and island arc volcanics along the Indus Suture zone (Frank et al. 1977, and many...

Abstract The study explores the factors affecting sedimentation trends in surrounding catchment area of Tarbela Dam for period 1980–2017, specifically rain and temperature. Furthermore, this also investigates seasonal effects sediment loads coming into reservoir from 2007 to 2012. statistical techniques were applied estimation climate (rainfall temperature) on inflow its area. results revealed ...

It native breeding resident of eastern and central Pakistan, Pan India (except the Trans-Himalayan region), Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand Cambodia. non-breeding in Nepal, southern Bhutan, Laos Vietnam with vagrant records from Afghanistan Iran. breeds on sandy islands freshwater lakes rivers, rarely estuaries.

Historical and future projected changes in climatic patterns over the largest irrigated basin world, Indus River Basin (IRB), threaten agricultural production food security Pakistan, particular for vulnerable farming communities. To build a more detailed understanding of impacts climate change on agriculture s IRB, present study analyzes (1) observed trends average temperature, precipitation re...
