Geomicrobiologies of the hot springs of Chumathang and Panamik (located in the Indus and Nubra valleys of eastern and northern Ladakh, respectively) were revealed and compared with the Lotus Pond spring of Puga Valley (eastern Ladakh), which is known for its mineralogical and ecological ...
This study projects future water demand scenarios in the Upper Indus Basin, focusing on reference, high population growth, increased irrigation, and lower
The discharge of one of the world’s largest river - Indus River was reported to be increasing that was not supported by the Karakoram (KK) glacier expansion. A major hydrometric bias was ignored, which seemed similar to the montage that the Himalayan gl
It means that the present location of Brahui tells us nothing whatever about the Indus valley language(s). The best evidence that it/they might be proto-Dravidian or something close to it lies in the apparent Dravidian influences in early Sanskrit. However, going by the centre of diversity ...
(Miller2008b; Wright2010). Shell bangles were most often carved using mollusk species from coastal Gujarat (Dales and Kenoyer1977; Kenoyer1984; Sonawane2018). Chert from the Rohri Hills in the Lower Indus Valley was preferred to locally available sources (Law2011); however, additional sources ...
(Fig.8; Supplementary Fig.5). Thus, major river flow in the incised valley had ceased at this location by ~15 ka. However, at MNK6, the youngest fluvial sands show an age range of 9.3 ± 1.0 to 8.0 ± 0.6 ka, suggesting continued fluvial flow here up to ~ 8...
using the Mesopotamian model of irrigated agriculture with sufficient skill to reap the advantages of the spacious and fertileIndus Rivervalley while controlling theformidableannual flood that simultaneously fertilizes and destroys. Having obtained a secure foothold on the plain and mastered its more immed...
There is a close relationship between climate and vegetation in the Indus valley. InSindhprovince on the lower Indus, desert conditions prevail 10 to 25 miles (15 to 40 km) away from the river, and the area is dominated by sand and poor grass cover. Irrigation by floods or canals permits...
Next, two algorithms are applied to generate map-wide slopes: one that inclines the horizontal plane in x (west–east) and (north–south); and another that forces the terrain into either a valley or a ridge with a general north–south orientation. Although stochastic, the final outcome ...
It includes high mountains and a narrow valley on the western side of the Himalayan with more than 70% forest cover. Figure 1. Study area map (District Shangla, Pakistan). 2.2. Remote Sensing Data Acquirement The Landsat imageries were acquired from the United State Geological Survey (USGS,...
