Was near coastal/marine, equatorial influence prevalent in North Indiasubcontinent 18.2 million years ago? Ritesh Arya 168 Arath Bazaar, Kasauli, Himachal Pradesh email: aryadrillers@gmail.com Probably yes and this is what... more
Sedimentary archives in the Himalayan foreland basin and Indus submarine fan provide the most detailed records of how changing monsoon strength may have affected erosion and the development of tectonic structures in the western Himalaya... more
Stratigraphic exposures, fluvial archives and borehole data have been allowed to reconstruct the alluvial history of Late Pleistocene to Late Holocene and climate changes in the monsoonal wet – dry region of lower Damodar Basin (West... more
Although there is some evidence for an Eocene monsoon the most important intensification of rainfall appears to start ~24 Ma, Early Miocene. Many paleoceanographic proxies for monsoon intensity are linked to wind and do not correlate well... more
Keynote address for the University of Virginia conference on "Crossings". Now published in:"China and Beyond in the Medieval Period" edited by Dorothy Wong and Gustav Heldt, Cambria Press, 2014. The beginning of my study of Maritime... more
The Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM), a significant part of the global monsoon system, is driven by several climate forcing parameters. With the growing pace of global climate change scenario, there is need to focus on generating more... more
ABSTRACT The Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) is crucial for agriculture and water resources in India. The large spatial and temporal variability of Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall (ISMR) leads to flood and drought especially over northern... more
Simulation of Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) onset over South Asia Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) domain in pentad composite pattern is considered for this study. The latest version of the International Center... more
This article reviews the level of current scientific understanding regarding the impact of future change in the large-scale climate-earth system on ecosystem services. Impacts from sea level rise, ocean acidification, increases in ocean... more
Some ‘high-level’ scientific pronouncements have assumed stewardship of climate geoengineering in the absence of other agents. This is dangerous, as effects on the Indian monsoons will show.
Somali upwelling history has been reconstructed for the last 18.5 ka BP based on biogenic silica fluxes estimated from a sediment core retrieved from the western Ara-bian Sea. Surface winds along the east African coast during the... more
The late early to middle Miocene sediments at Varkala cliff section (SW India) offer a great potential to study paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic conditions. The succession consists of coastal marine sands alternating with fine... more
Determining the interplay between tectonic deformation, climate, atmospheric CO2 concentrations and continental weathering and erosion is key to understanding the mechanisms that forced Cenozoic global cooling. In contrast with studies of... more
Clay minerals from the Indus Canyon and eastern clinoform since ∼12 ka are uniformly rich in smectite and illite, similar to those from the Holocene Indus flood plains. A systematic enrichment of smectite in the proximal delta compared to... more
Stable carbon and oxygen isotopic investigations are carried out on planktonic and benthic foraminifera from an AMS-dated sediment core of the northeast Indian Ocean (NEIO) to infer glacial to Holocene changes in surface and deep waters.... more
Three pairs of small, fourth-to sixth-order catchments (approximately 5-80 km 2), draining the margin of the Darjeeling Himalayas into the piedmont, were selected for a comparison of the land-use impact on the morphology and sedimentology... more
The aim of the present study is to find out the possible linkage between the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), a major ocean–atmosphere coupled phenomena believed to be responsible for the variability of Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall... more
Climate model faces considerable difficulties in simulating the rainfall characteristics of southwest summer monsoon. In this study, the dynamical downscaling of European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecast's (ECMWF's) ERA-Interim... more
Agronomic terms for interactions between pedosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere are explained; likewise the distinction between meteorological, agricultural and hydrological droughts. Two droughts in Maharashtra –... more
The 14C ages of planktonic foraminifers Globigerinoides sacculifer bracketing the Younger Dryas in a δ18O record of Globigerinoides ruber from a laminated sediment core on the Pakistani continental margin suggest that surface reservoir... more
Recent studies using coupled atmosphere–ocean models have shown that the tropical Atlantic has a significant impact on the Indian monsoon. In this article, the observational basis for this teleconnection is examined and the physical... more
