Characterising groundwater-surface water connectivity in the lower Gandak catchment, a barrage regulated biodiversity hotspot in the mid-Gangetic basin
Dan Lapworth,Brighid O Dochartaigh,Tarun Nair,J. O'Keeffe,Gopal Krishan,Alan MacDonald,M. Khan,Nachiket Kelkar,Sunil Kumar Choudhary,Jagdish Krishnaswamy,Christopher R. Jackson +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a combination of environmental tracers and hydrograph observations to characterise sources of recharge and groundwater-surface water interaction using a transect approach across the catchment of the River Gandak, a major barrage-regulated tributary of the river Ganga.

Seismicity around the Mahendragarh–Dehradun basement fault in the western Ganga plain, India: a neotectonic perspective
TL;DR: The ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey around the epicenter detects few shallow-depth subsurface normal faults parallel to the Mahendragarh-Dehradun Fault (MDF) as discussed by the authors.

Stacked megafans of the Kalahari Basin as archives of paleogeography, river capture, and Cenozoic paleoclimate of southwestern Africa
Georg J. Houben,Stephan Kaufhold,Roy McG. Miller,Christoph Lohe,Matthias Hinderer,Meike Noll,Jens Hornung,Reginalda Joseph,Axel Gerdes,Maria Sitnikova,Martin Quinger +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, a continuous 400 m core was obtained in northern Namibia and analyzed in detail, which was used to derive the sedimentation history and the Cenozoic paleoclimate and paleogeography of SW Africa.

Active tectonics, landscape evolution and sediment dynamics in Dehra Dun, Northwest Himalaya inferred from geomorphic indices and GIS tools
Swati Sinha,Rajiv Sinha +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the applicability of several geomorphic indices in the western Dehra Dun (intermontane valley) that includes well-known tectonic elements such as Main Boundary thrust (MBT), Main Frontal Thrust (MFT), Santaurgarh Thrust (ST), and other smaller faults was tested.

Mountain belts and the new global tectonics
John F. Dewey,John M. Bird +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it is proposed that mountain belts develop by deformation and metamorphism of the sedimentary and volcanic assemblages of Atlantic-type continental margins, resulting from the events associated with the rupture of continents and the expansion of oceans by plate generation at oceanic ridges.

TL;DR: The motion of the Indian plate is determined in an absolute frame of reference and compared with the position of the southern margin of Eurasia deduced from palaeomagnetic data in Tibet as discussed by the authors.

Ground-penetrating radar and its use in sedimentology: principles, problems and progress
TL;DR: A ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a noninvasive geophysical technique that detects electrical discontinuities in the shallow subsurface as mentioned in this paper, which can be used to detect electrical faults.
