The geomorphic character of major river drainages in the Himalayan foothills of central Nepal suggests the existence of a discrete, west-northwest–trending break in rock uplift rates that does not correspond to previously mapped faults. The 40Ar/39Ar thermochronologic data from detrital muscovites with provenance from both sides of the discontinuity indicate that this geomorphic break also corr...

[1] Geothermobarometric together with microand macro-structural data indicate ductile flow in the metamorphic core of the Himalaya in the Garhwal region of India. Peak metamorphic pressure and temperature increase dramatically across the Main Central Thrust (MCT) from !5 kbar and !550°C in the Lesser Himalayan Crystalline Sequence (LHCS) to !14 kbar and !850°C at !3 km above the MCT in the Grea...

Himalaya 292 (Hordeum vulgare var. Himalaya 292) is a novel hull-less barley variety lacking activity of a key enzyme of starch synthesis giving a grain containing less total starch, more amylose and higher total dietary fibre. Animal trials have shown that Himalaya 292 contains more resistant starch and has greater positive impact on biomarkers of large-bowel health than comparable wholegrain ...

We use petrographic and mineralogical data on modern sediments to investigate erosion patterns in the Marsyandi basin of the central Himalaya, a privileged natural laboratory in which a series of multidisciplinary geomorphological, sedimentological, geochemical and geochronological studies have been recently carried out to unravel the interrelationships between tectonic, climatic and sedimentar...

Abstract. The Lesser Himalaya exposed in the Kishtwar Window (KW) of Kashmir exhibits rapid rock uplift and exhumation (?3 mm yr?1) at least since late Miocene. However, it has remained unclear if is still actively deforming. Here, we combine new field, morphometric structural analyses with dating geomorphic markers to discuss spatial pattern deformation across window. We found two steep stream...
