Quantifying the contribution of glacier runoff to water resources is particularly important in regions such as High Mountain Asia, where glaciers provide a large percentage of seasonal river discharge and support large populations downstream. In remote areas, direct field measurements of glacier melt rates are difficult to acquire and rarely observed, so hydro-glaciological modeling and remote ...

Flood is one of the most serious natural disasters in world. losses developing countries throughout Belt and Road region are more than twice global average. However, to date, extent vulnerability remains poorly understood. Therefore, this study sought address knowledge gap. In study, we presented a assessment model based on triangular fuzzy number-based analytic hierarchy process (TFN-AHP) supp...

The well Sarai Sidhu-01 is located on Punjab Platform, Central Indus Basin, Pakistan. Punjab Platform is the eastern part of Central Indus Basin, and tectonically it is the stable portion of Indus Basin, which was least affected during Tertiary Himalayan orogeny. This study attempts to decipher reservoir potential for hydrocarbon exploration. It aims to delineate a subsurface hydrocarbon bearin...

The Owen Transform Fault (OTF) connecting the Sheba and Carlsberg spreading ridges in Indian Ocean currently forms active plate boundary between India Somalia plates. This 330-km-long transform fault is by far longest along India-Somalia its valley buried under thick distal turbidites of Indus Fan with total thickness ranging from 1000 to > 5000m. A new set seismic reflection multibeam bathymet...

Imported ceramics from Early Bronze Age contexts in southeast Arabia illustrate a complex multidirectional network of material and social interactions at this time. Significant socioeconomic changes that occurred the Hafit (3200–2800 B.C.) Umm an-Nar (2800–2000 periods have been linked to external demand for copper, which is argued stimulated change subsistence patterns. Similarly, disruption l...
