The Neoarchaean (2.8–2.5 Ga) era in the earth’s history witnessed significant crustal growth related to the amalgamation and dispersion of ancient continents. The processes leading to the formation and destruction of the ...

Seasonal monitoring of groundwater is essential to ascertain safe water for the population and ecosystem for drinking, irrigation, domestic purposes and to keep track of groundwater quality with natural (climate change ...

Chemical weathering of continental silicate rocks releases cations and anions which are eventually precipitated as carbonates on the ocean floor. This entire process transfers carbon from the atmosphere to the oceans leading ...

The earth is the only rocky planet in the solar system that exhibits plate tectonics. One of the basic tenets of plate-tectonics is that it recycles the lithosphere within a few hundred million years. No oceanic lithosphere, ...

Weathering of silicate rocks releases cations and anions which are transported to the oceans by rivers where calcium carbonate precipitates from the seawater. This process results in the net consumption of atmospheric ...

The Earth's magnetic field is generated by thermochemical convection within its fluid outer core. The near-stationary high-latitude magnetic flux concentrations in the present day field indicate that convective ...

The Archean-Proterozoic transition is marked by globally synchronous changes in tectonothermal and climatic patterns along with development of widespread epicontinental seas, with extensive shelf-sedimentation. The Indian ...

The India-Eurasia collision zone has been a subject of various studies that have tried to explain the forces behind the high elevation and large scale continental deformation in this region. However, the relative contribution ...

Carbonatites are carbonate-rich magmatic rocks that are commonly thought of having a mantle origin and are thus, of great interest to geologist for understanding the chemical evolution of the upper mantle. This thesis ...

Surface water and groundwater interactions are inherently complex because they occur across a range of spatial and temporal scales. This thesis envisages to improve our understanding of surface water and groundwater in ...
