Plio-Pleistocene sedimentary successions, comprised of fluvio-glacial-lacustrine sediments
capped by loess, are widespread in the Kashmir Valley, NW Himalaya, India. These …

Remotely sensed observations are crucial for conducting meteorological studies, particularly
over complex mountainous terrains such as, the North-Western Himalayas (NWH), which …

The temporal vegetation development provides vital information for understanding past
climatic changes. In this study, we reconstruct vegetation dynamics from the last glacial …

This study explored the metagenome of the Pir Panjal Hot Spring (PPHS) to identify
thermostable hydrolases. The carboxypeptidase (CarP) gene was successfully amplified …

The focus of the present study was to assess the dynamics of wetland ecosystem health in
both urban and rural settings situated in the high-altitude Kashmir Himalayan ecoregion …

Rock glaciers are crucial freshwater resources, yet detailed knowledge about their
distribution, characteristics, and dynamics in the Himalayan region is scarce. This study …

Kashmir Valley, the north-western part of India, is home to important geological rock
formations, sedimentary deposits, and landforms. These geological entities have preserved …

This review work presented a detailed review of snow cover area, mass balance status,
glacial area loss, surface velocities and applications of snowmelt runoff model (SRM) …

Quantitative glacial chronologies of past glaciations are sparse in the Himalaya, and mostly
absent in the Kashmir Himalaya. We used cosmogenic 10 Be exposure dating, and …

With growing water scarcity, jeopardized by climate change, springs are likely to perform a
vital role in meeting the domestic water demand in future. This paper examines the water …
