Process inference from topographic fractal characteristics in the tectonically active Northwest Himalaya, India
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Earth Surface Processes and Landforms"
DOI: 10.1002/esp.4984
Abstract: Topography evolves under the coupled effect of exogenic and endogenic governing factors, and their scale‐(in)variant dynamics. This results in a self‐affine topography across a finite range, with a characteristic fractal dimension. Fractal analysis has been… read more here.

Monazite behaviour during isothermal decompression in pelitic granulites: a case study from Dinggye, Tibetan Himalaya
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology"
DOI: 10.1007/s00410-017-1400-y
Abstract: Monazite is a key accessory mineral for metamorphic geochronology, but interpretation of its complex chemical and age zoning acquired during high-temperature metamorphism and anatexis remains a challenge. We investigate the petrology, pressure–temperature and timing of… read more here.
