Between 81°30ʹE and 83°E, the Himalayan range's “perfect” arcuate shape is interrupted by an embayment. We hypothesize that thrust geometry duplexing along megathrust at midlower-crustal depths play a leading role in growth of embayment as well southern margin Tibetan plateau. To test this hypothesis, we conducted thermokinematic modeling published thermochronologic data from topographic struct...

The spatial and temporal span of hydrological impact the “Little Ice Age” (LIA) in north-western Himalaya is not well constrained due to data limitation. We evaluated a network tree-ring chronologies from moisture-stressed ecological settings Jammu Kashmir identify LIA over western Himalaya. Our study reflects three centennial scale phases; middle phase (1650s–1850s CE) with stable precipitatio...

Global mountains, including the Himalaya, are highly vulnerable ecosystems, especially given climate and land-use changes. Here, we compile literature on Himalayan biodiversity in order to assess spatial taxonomic trends research during past 200 years. We identified 35,316 outputs, 28,120 journal articles, 3,725 doctoral theses, 3,471 books. Nepal contributes largest volume of published literat...

[1] Erosional exhumation and topography in mountain belts are temporally and spatially variable over million year timescales because of changes in both the location of deformation and climate. We investigate spatiotemporal variations in exhumation across a 150 250 km compartment of the NW Himalaya, India. Twenty-four new and 241 previously published apatite and zircon fission track and white mi...

In this paper we report a search for intermediate mass magnetic monopoles and nuclearites using CR39 and Makrofol Nuclear Track Detectors (NTDs) of the SLIM large area experiment, 440 m exposed at the high altitude laboratory of Chacaltaya (Bolivia) and about 100 m at Koksil, Himalaya (Pakistan). We discuss the new chemical etching and improved analysis of the SLIM CR39 sheets. Preliminary limi...

We reviewed the available climate records for past 2 millennia based on analyzed sediment and speleothem archives from different regions of South Asia. Speleothem core-monsoon Indian sub-continent have revealed Little Ice Age (LIA) as a climatically dry phase, whereas same western central Himalaya recorded LIA wet. Moreover, sediment-derived vegetation proxy [pollen-spores stable organic carbon...

On-field trial was conducted in dairy animals to evaluate efficacy of Styplon Vet Bolus (M/s Himalaya Drug Company, Banglore, India) as supportive therapy in management of hemorrhagic conditions (Hematuria, hemoagalectia, bleeding wounds, uterine bleeding and epistaxis) of ruminants. Styplon Vet 1-2 boli twice daily was administered to cows and buffaloes, and 1⁄2 bolus twice daily for sheep til...

The identity of a neglected smut fungus, Cintractia disciformis, described from Carex hirtella in the Western Himalaya, India is reassessed. The species is excluded from Cintractia and is confirmed as a distinct species of Anthracoidea. Two smuts, A. nepalensis on Carex nakaoana in Nepal, and A. haematostomae on Carex haematostoma in China, are similar morphologically and considered to be later...
