River profiles along the Himalayan arc as indicators of active tectonics
Leonardo Seeber,Vivien Gornitz +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the discontinuity in the river profiles and the other features are controlled by a major tectonic boundary between the rising High Himalayas and the Lesser Himalaysas.

Stratigraphy, structure and volcanology of the SE Deccan continental flood basalt province: implications for eruptive extent and volumes
Anne E. Jay,Mike Widdowson +1 more
TL;DR: The Deccan Volcanic Province is one of the world9s largest continental flood basalt provinces, and derives additional importance because its eruptions (64-67 Ma) straddle the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary.

Global distribution of sediment-hosted metals controlled by craton edge stability
Mark Hoggard,Mark Hoggard,Karol Czarnota,Karol Czarnota,Fred Richards,Fred Richards,David L. Huston,A. Lynton Jaques,S. Ghelichkhan +8 more
TL;DR: This paper found that 85% of sediment-hosted base metals, including all giant deposits (>10 megatonnes of metal, occur within 200 kilometres of the transition between thick and thin lithosphere.

Modelling of land use land cover change using earth observation data-sets of Tons River Basin, Madhya Pradesh, India
TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated Markov Chain and Cellular Automata modelling (CA MARKOV), multicriteria evaluation techniques have been applied to produce transition probability, and the unsupervised method was employed.

Delineation of potential groundwater recharge zones using analytical hierarchy process (AHP)
TL;DR: In this paper, an effort was made in the Kashmir valley, NW-Himalayas to delineate potential groundwater areas using GIS and Analytical Hierarchy method (AHP) by incorporating remote sensing data.

Areal Snow Cover Estimation over the Himalayan Terrain Using INSAT-1D VHRR Data
Abstract: INSAT ‐1D (Indian National Satellite) VHRR (Very High Resolution Radiometer) daytime visible (0.55-0.75μ) and thermal infrared (10.5-12.5μm) data have been used for delineation of areas under snow cover in the Himalayas. The boundary of the Himalayan frontal thrust belt and other with major structural features could also be demarcated in the processed image. Two different image processing techniques, namely thresholding and textural method were adopted to delineate the areas under snow cover. Thresholding technique was better suited here, though textural method has got a no. of advantages e.g. dimensionality increment etc. which is suited particularly for handling single band data. Results also show more and more snow accumulations over the regional lineaments and tectonic patterns (using INSAT VHRR data).

Geology of South and Southwest part of Uttar Pradesh and its Mineral Significance
TL;DR: The Bundelkhand craton nuclei mostly composed of Archean granitoids show heterogeneity in texture and composition, intruded by later phase of magmatic activity as discussed by the authors.
