Dissolved and Sediment Load Characteristics of Kafni Glacier Meltwater, Pindar Valley, Kumaon Himalaya
Authors: Singh Abhay Kumar , Pandey Shiv Kumar , Panda Subrat 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
An analytical study on major cations (Ca, Mg, Na, K) and anions (HCO3, SO4, Cl) in the meltwaters draining from Kafni glacier, Pindar valley, were carried out in the present study. The analysis was directed towards the deciphering, of the major ion chemistry, the diurnal variation in solute and suspended sediment concentrations and to trace the source and mechanism controlling water chemistry of Kafni meltwaters. Distinct diurnal variation has been observed by major ionic species and suspended sediment concentration in the meltwater, reflecting varying proportions of meltwater transferred to the channel through different routes. Among cations Ca is the most dominant ion (69%) followed by Mg (19%), Na (8%) and K (4%). Bicarbonate is the dominant anion, constituting 85% of the total anions and 61% of TDS. The hjgh concentration of bicarbonate and its good correlation with Ca indicates their common source, from the dissolution of carbonate rocks. The high (Ca+Mg)/(Na+K) ratio i.e. 8, the high contribution of (Ca+Mg) to the total cations (Ca+Mg/TZ+ = 0.9) and low ratio of (Na+K)TZ+ = 0.11 also suggests that the carbonate weathering could be the primary source of major ions in these waters. The suspended sediment concentration negatively correlated with IDS and the increasing TSM/TDS ratio with the discharge indicate prominence of physical weathering over chemical weathering in the afternoon time.
Status and Age of the Red Beds in Krishna - Godavari Basin (India) and their Relationship with Hydrocarbon Occurrences
Authors: Prasad Bijai 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Palynological studies carried out on the "red beds" encountered in the subsurface sections of Krishna-Godavari Basin establish the occurrence of two distinct red beds; the older of Triassic age, deposited in fluvial intracratonic Pranhita-Godavari Graben and equated with the Maleri rocks of Central India and an younger one of Early Cretaceous (Neocomian - Barremian) age, deposited during synrift stage of the Krishna-Godavari Basin in marginal to shallow marine environment, corresponding to the red claystones of Gollapali Formation. A major hiatus of about 80 Ma is present between the two red beds involving the absence of latest Triassic and major part of Jurassic sediments.
The gaseous pay-sand zones in Mandapeta and Ramchandrapuram structures which lie just below the Cretaceous red beds, belong to the Gollapali Sandstone and indicate Early Cretaceous (Neocomian-Barremian) age. The Cretacous red beds are considered to serve as caprocks for hydrocarbon accumulation in these pay-sands.

Authors: Madhavan V. , David K. , Mallikharjuna Rao J. , Chalapathi Rao N. V. , Srinivas M. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The mid-Proterozoic lamprophyric rocks broadly represented by kimberlites, lamproites and lamprophyres (sensu stricto) are emplaced in and adjacent to the intracratonic Cuddapah basin in the eastern Dharwar craton of India which was recently recognized as the Cuddapah (intrusive) province (CIP). While the kimberlite pipes and lamprophyre dykes are located outside but close to the western and eastern margins of the Cuddapah basin respectively, the lamproites are hosted within the basin. Lamprophyres occur in seven locations of the Prakasam district of Andhra Pradesh. EIchuru, where more than one hundred lamprophyre dykes are found, represents a prominent centre of lamprophyre magmatism. Purimetla comes next to Elchuru with a tally of twenty lamprophyre dykes. At other places lamprophyres are numerically insignificant. The CIP lamprophyres encompass different varieties and they cut across an equally wide-ranging variety of host rocks; these lamprophyres come under 1) feldspathoidal or non- feldspathoidal and 2) plagioclase- or orthoclase-bearing categories. With a single exception, all the lamprophyres are micaceous and distinctly alkaline. The genesis of CIP lamprophyres as a manifestation of alkaline magmatism is discussed.
Metamorphic History of Calc-Silicate Lithologies from the Kambam Valley, Tamil Nadu and its bearing on the Evolution of the Southern Granulite Terrain
Authors: Francis Anto K. , Janardhan A. S. , Basavalingu B. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Kambam valley forms an integral part of the Southern Granulite Terrain. The valley represents a deep crustal break hosting high temperature alkaline intrusives and also a carbonatite body. Common rock types encounterd are charnockite and granulite grade calc-silicate and metapelite. Calc-silicate lithologies are interbanded with mafic granulites on cm scale. Wolfastonite-scapolite-grandite garnet-clinopyroxene indicate high temperature (900°C). Corroborative high temperatures are recorded from associated rnetapelites. Textural features such as the formation of coronal garnet and garnet-quartz double rinds at the expense of calcite, scapolite, wollastonite, clinopyroxene suggest a late isobaric cooling at shallower depths. The cooling event was associated with domainal variation in fluid species. Fluid inclusion studies confirm a late carbonic fluid flux consistent with the carbonation reactions that followed.
The associated metapelitic lithologies in the area preserve textural evidence for a rapid high temperature decompression event. The Kambam valley granulites, thus witnessed high temperature metamorphism, rapid decompression and late isobaric cooling. The above metamorphic history is consistent with those reported from other parts of the Southern Granulite Terrain (SGT). Thermal perturbation associated with extensional thinning and alkaline magmatism explain the high temperature metamorphism, decompression and subsequent cooling.
Regional Relief and Structural Pattern Identification Over the Indian Subcontinent using INSAT-VHRR Data
Authors: Majumdar T. J. , Mohanty K. K. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
INSAT (Indian National Satellite) VHRR (Very High Resolution Radiometer) night time thermal IR (infrared) data have been used for extraction of regional tectonic/structural features over Indian peninsula using Sobel operators. The enhanced pseudo-three dimensional image has shown the major tectonic features over the Indian subcontinent. The boundary of the Himalayan thrust belt and other major structural features could be demarcated. A number of regional tectonic/structural patterns could be identified in the INSAT VHRR enhanced night time thermal IR imagery. Himalayan frontal thrust belt could be delineated distinctively in the processed image. Relief patterns in the Aravalli and Sri Lanka could be visualized. Relief patterns of the Western and Eastern Ghats are also discernible. Enhancement of INSAT night time thermal infrared imagery thus found to be useful in discerning the major tectonic patterns over the Indian subcontinent and its surroundings.
International Proficiency Tests for Analytical Geochemistry Laboratories: An Assessment of Accuracy and Precision in Routine Geochemical Analysis
Authors: Balaram V. , Gnaneshwara Rao T. , Anjaiah K. V. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The results of Second International Proficiency Test (GeoPT2) obtained at the Geochemical Laboratory of National Geophysical Research Institute are presented. Estimation of 33 trace elements including all the fourteen rare earths obtained by ICP-MS in Bardon Volcanic Tuff Samples (OU-1) are compared with the assigned values. Sample decomposition method and other relevant details of the analytical procedures adopted are presented. Depending upon the 'Z-scores' calculated, the fitness of the data for either "pure geochemistry" or "applied geochemistry" was assessed. An overview of 'Z-score' results indicates that about 2/3rds of the data contributed from our laboratory fell within the -2&lt;z&lt;2 range which included majority of the trace and rare earth elements used normally in several pure geochemical investigations. These results allowed us to further investigate the analytical discrepancies observed in the data and optimize necessary aspects such as sample preparation by the use of more effective dissolution methods like microwave digestion and minimise the interference effects by the use of matrix matching calibrations.

Authors: Anwarul Islam M. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The paper deals with textural studies of economic minerals like rutile, zircon, monazite, magnetite and ilmenite of Teknaf beach, Bangladesh. The study reveals that the degree of sphericity and roundness bear distinct relationship with relative abundance of the different size grades. The relative abundance of the different minerals is highly variable with either increase or decrease of sphericity values from 0.3 to 0.7 and roundness values from 0. 1 to 0.9; rutile and zircon are most abundant in 0.088 mm size grade and monazite is maximum (50%) in 0. 125 mm size grade, while both magnetite and ilmenite are present in a single size grade of 0.088 mm in proportions of 54% and 60% respectively.

Use and Limitations of Short and Medium Duration Pumping Tests in Understanding Hard Rock Fracture Aquifers - An Example from Kerala
Authors: Kukillaya J. P. , Padmanabhan K. , Krishnan E. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Short and medium duration pumping test data from a well-field, in conjunction with outcrop fracture pattern studies, are used to understand the nature of a system of fracture aquifers in a metamorphic terrain in Kerala State. Satellite imagery shows a minor E - W lineament intersecting a major regional NNW - SSE lineament in the area. Drawdown and time lag data indicate greater connectivity along the minor lineament compared to the major one. The E - W elongation of the drawdown contours correlates with dominant E - W fracture sets seen on outcrops. The NNW - SSE fracture zone probably forms a regional conduit for groundwater flow, with the degree of hydraulic. connectivity modified locally by other intersecting fracture zones. A large-scale heterogenity in the form of an E-W fracture zone is indicated in this area. The pumping tests give responses similar to double-porosity and semi-confined models. Some data suggest localised linear flow near pumped well. Heterogeneity in fracture distribution results in a complex response to pumping. Celtain broadly-defined zones and groundwater flow conditions are discernible within this heterogeneity.

Features and Genesis of Vein-Type Magnesite Deposit in the Doddakanya Area of Karnataka, India
Authors: Krishna Rao B. , Sethumadhav M. S. , Hanuma Prasad M. , Mahabaleshwar T. D. , Rao Ashok V. , Albert Gilg H. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Vein-type magnesite deposit of Doddakanya area is situated in the southern part of the Archaean Dharwar craton. Magnesite is confined to a c.3.3 Ga old ultramafic body which constitutes a tectonically dismembered part of a layered ultramafic-mafic complex emplaced into supracrustal rocks of the Sargur Group. The magnesite-bearing ultramafic body is composed of dunite with minor harzburgite and exhibits varying degrees of serpentinization and weathering. About 50 vol.% of the ultramafic body is serpentinized and the intensity of serpentinization decreases with depth. The serpentine minerals are represented essentially by lizardite/chrysotile exhibiting pseudomorphic mesh-texture. Serpentinization of the ultramafic body took place within 6 km of the Earth's surface at low temperatures (&lt;200°C) and essentially involved volume expansion (isochemical) process. During weathering, the relict olivine of the serpentinized ultramafic body was pseudomorphously replaced by a mixture of amorphous material (with variable amounts of Fe, Mg, Si and volatiles) and minor ferric oxyhydroxides and secondary silica. The Mg mobilized during weathering participated in the formation of magnesite in tensional fractures developed during the late- to post-serpentinization event. Oxygen isotope data (d18O = av. 30.6‰ SMOW) indicate the precipitation of magnesite at ambient temperatures and carbon isotope values (d13C = av. -2.6‰ PDB) suggest the derivation of carbon from a biogenic soil source dominated by C4 plants. The latter constrains the timing of the magnesite formation to a period not older than 8 - 7 Ma.
Effects of Variations in Specimen Thickness on Illite "Crystallinity" Measurements
Authors: Mazumdar Aninda 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The 'Kubler index' (?°2?) has been extensively used to document degree of metamorphism in very low grade pelitic rocks and to mark the diagenetic-anchizonal and anchizonal-epizonal boundaries. However, variations in sample preparation procedures significantly affect the ?°2? measurements. The effect of variation in thickness (mg/cm2) of the clay layer on ?°2? measurements has been studied here. The ?°2? values drops rapidly for slides with clay loading less than ~2-3 mg/cm2 and achieve more or less a plateau beyond this thickness. Owing to the rapid change in slope, even minor variation in thickness (which is difficult to constrain) can significantly affect the ?°2? measurements. Low X-ray intensities recorded for thin slides also add uncertainty to the ?°2? measurements.
Thermal Structure of the Lithosphere Beneath the Deccan Trap along the Western Indian Continental Margin: Evidence from Xenolith Data
Authors: Dessai A. G. , Knight K. , Vaselli O. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Late alkaline lamprophyre-intrusives from the Deccan Trap along the western Indian continental margin entrain rare granulite and pyroxenite xenoliths some of which contain kaersutite ± phlogopite ± apatite ± scapolite ± sulphides providing evidence orfluid induced metasomatism.
P-Testimates on carefully selected mafic granulite and pyroxenite xenoliths define a palaeogeotherm from 550°C, 5 kb to -830°C, 8.5 kb for the Mumbai region along the western continental margin. This elevated geotherm suggests advective heat transfer from magmas ponded near the crust mantle boundary.
Xenolith petrology coupled with seismic data suggests that the lower crust beneath Mumbai consists of mafic granulites under- and intra-plated by pyroxenites. Spinel peridotites interlayered with pyroxenites predominate below -20 km. The seismic Moho is located within the layered pile.

Authors: Dietrich Kelsey M. , Strumbel Nicole M. , Baumann Ashley M. , Nguyen-Feng Viann N. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) is an evidence-based yoga intervention that has been used as an effective adjunct treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Previous research has focused on TCTSY offered in group settings. The present study examined experiences of individuals practicing TCTSY one-to-one (i.e., one client, one TCTSY facilitator). Study aims were to: (1) learn about participants’ experiences with and reasons for attending one-to-one TCTSY; (2) describe and compare participants’ experiences between group and one-to-one yoga settings; (3) explore participants’ perceptions of the impacts of TCTSY on their trauma healing; and (4) document participants’ intentions for continued one-to-one TCTSY use. Semistructured interviews were offered to participants at completion of a longitudinal observational study of one-to-one TCTSY; 4 of the 10 participants agreed to be interviewed. Interviewees were located in the United States and self-reported experiencing childhood trauma and a current PTSD diagnosis. Following the consensual qualitative research method, domains were initially created deductively by the team. Adjustments, as well as categories and core ideas, were created inductively. Results indicated that participants: (1) preferred one-to-one over groups because of perceived safety and comfort; (2) had positive experiences with TCTSY; (3) perceived biopsychosocial benefits from the practice and described using TCTSY principles outside of sessions; and (4) intended to practice indefinitely. This study provided insight to the lived experiences of participants who use TCTSY as complementary care. Yoga facilitators and clinical trauma care providers are recommended to collaborate to offer one-to-one somatic-based approaches to create more access options for trauma healing.

Abstract

Japanese encephalitis (JE) is widely prevalent in the Asia-Pacific region. There is limited information on JE virus (JEV) seroprevalence as well as the associated epidemiologic and ecological factors in India. This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of JEV and associated risk factors in swine populations from climatically diverse regions of the country. A total of 1205 swine serum samples were collected from the backyard/established/slaughterhouse settings of the western (Maharashtra state), northern (Uttar Pradesh state), northern temperate (Uttarakhand state), and northeastern (Assam state) zones of India. Information on demographic (swine population), geographic (paddy cultivation area) and weather (annual rainfall)-related variables was collected and analysed to understand their association with JE seropositivity. A JEV seroprevalence of 20.3% (95% CI: 17.9–22.7) using IgM and 16.6% (95% CI: 14.3–19.1) using IgG ELISA(s) was recorded, with an overall seroprevalence of 17.7% (95% CI: 15.8–19.6). The highest seroprevalence was observed in Assam state (30.2%; 95% CI: 25.9–34.7) followed by Maharashtra (17.2%; 95% CI: 13.6–21.1), Uttarakhand (13.4%; 95% CI: 10.1–17.3) and Uttar Pradesh (11%; 95% CI: 8.2–14.3). JEV seroprevalence was highest during the post-monsoon season (40.3%, 95% CI: 34.7–46.0, n=205), followed by the monsoon (18.9%, 95% CI: 15.7–22.2, n=410), winter (17.0%, 95% CI: 13.5–20.9, n=290), and summer (3.7%, 95% CI: 1.9–6.2, n=300) seasons. The final multivariable analysis indicated that odds of infection were 2.59 (95% CI: 1.77–3.81, p=0.001) times greater in the dense swine population area (population >7616–81872 v/s 313–2006) and 5.77 (95% CI: 3.80–8.76, p=<0.001) times greater in the small per capita paddy area (0–0.011 v/s >0.046–0.091 hectares). This is the first study reporting JEV seroprevalence in the swine population of the northern temperate Indian zone, and it is recommended that sentinel surveillance and JE vaccine coverage be extended to the newly reported areas of virus activity.
