The production of land cover maps using supervised classification algorithms is one the most common applications remote sensing. In this study, effectiveness in ASTER data was evaluated Mankweng Area and its environs. false colour composite image generated from combination band 1, 2 3 red, green blue, respectively, used to generate training classes for six types (waterbody, forest, vegetation, ...

Zircon and monazite U-(Th)-Pb ion microprobe analysis were performed on the Mazeno Pass pluton and the Jutial pluton, two leucogranite bodies within the Nanga Parbat-Haramosh massif (NPHM), Pakistan Himalaya. Zircon rim ages and monazite ages indicate the Mazeno Pass pluton in southwest NPHM intruded at 1.40 ‹ 0.05 Ma; the Jutial pluton, to the north, similarly yields concordant zircon and mona...

The Balagychan-Sugoi (Omsukchan) riftogeneous depression is described by different authors both as a part of Okhotsk-Chukotka volcanic belt (OCVB) and separate structure. unique Dukat gold silver deposit lot others ore deposits including rare-metal, such Arylah, Lunnoe, Askold, Mechta, Tidid, Krasin, are associated with this All mentioned objects located in the south from point view connected O...

Determining the timing of E-W extension across NS-trending rifts in southern Tibet is key to test mechanical models latest evolution collision between India and Asia. We focus on half largest seven main rifts, Yadong-Gulu rift (YGR), which, despite being numerous studies thanks its easy access, still lacks direct time constraints. Using illite K-Ar ages fault gouge from active Yadong normal YGR...

Although bacterial assemblages are important components of soils in arid ecosystems, the knowledge about composition, life-strategies, and environmental drivers is still fragmentary, especially in remote high-elevation mountains. We compared the quality and quantity of heterotrophic bacterial assemblages between the rhizosphere of the dominant cushion-forming plant Thylacospermum ceaspitosum an...
