A multi-proxy study using mineral magnetism, sediment texture, total organic content, palynofacies and diatoms was conducted in one of the highest proglacial lake situated at North Pulu (5098 m a.s.l.) Ladakh sector NW Himalaya – a high-altitude cold arid desert. This presents climatic variations that occurred between 5412 419 cal. yr BP ( 14 C AMS chronology). Directly recharged by meltwater from Khardung glacier, this provides complete record past variability due to continuous...
Abstract This paper highlights unique sites in Ladakh, India, investigated during our 2016 multidisciplinary pathfinding expedition to the region. We summarize scientific findings and site's potential support science exploration, testing of new technologies protocols within framework astrobiology research. Ladakh has several accessible, diverse, pristine extreme environments at very high altitudes (3000–5700 m above sea level). These include glacial passes, sand dunes, hot springs saline...
Gya river, one of the main tributary Indus, hosts several scattered palaeoflood deposits. The chronology, genesis and spatiotemporal relationships these deposits can throw light to regional global climatic fluctuations their implications for evolution valley. valley structure river consists a broad middle reach alternating with narrow valleys gorges in upper lower reaches which be blocked by slightest sediment discharge damming entire geomorphological, sedimentological chronological study...
A bird’s humerus has been recovered from a microvertebrate subfossil accumulation bearing sand layer fluvial-lacustrine section exposed near the village Shachukul, Tangtse Valley, Ladakh. This is first report of this kind material Trans-Himalaya. The specimen bone identified as Coturnix coturnix(common quail), dated to 3400±40yr BP. finding such high degree preservation bones with soft tissues indicates sudden burial whole assemblage, including might have caused by flash-flood like event....
A general review account of the late-Quatenary moisture history monsoonal Central Asia inferred from published literature 1.2 is given . All studies show high effective form area dominated by India Monsoon during early Holocene , suggesting optimal climate conditions In contrast areas which are South-East Asian monsoon and Westerlies, optimal condition prevailed their the mind-Holocene. These apparent in Holocene. Strengthened insolation possibly caused an enhanced low-level convergence...
