The end-Triassic extinction is characterized by major losses in both terrestrial and marine diversity, setting the stage for dinosaurs to dominate Earth for the next 136 million years. Despite the approximate coincidence between this extinction and flood basalt volcanism, existing geochronologic dat...

Abstract GPS data reveal that the Brahmaputra Valley has broken from the Indian Plate and rotates clockwise relative to India about a point a few hundred kilometers west of the Shillong Plateau. The GPS velocity vectors define two distinct blocks separated by the Kopili fault upon which 2–3 mm/yr of...

The latest Paleocene-middle Eocene Subathu Formation and the Oligocene-Miocene Dagshai and Kasauli Formations of the Indian foreland basin record the early evolution of the Himalayan fold-thrust belt. Sandstone petrography of the Subathu Formation shows a predominantly recycled sedimentary source, w...

The Shillong plateau is the only raised topography in the foreland of the Himalayas. Located on the trajectory of the Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM), the plateau perturbs the regional distribution of precipitation. As such, the Shillong plateau‐eastern Himalaya‐ISM is a unique system to quantify the co...

A map of maximum horizontal compressive stress orientation in the Indian subcontinent has been prepared using orientations derived from three different stress indicators: borehole elongation breakouts, in situ hydraulic fracturing measurements, and earthquake focal mechanisms. Most part of the subco...

Abstract The Rakhine (Arakan)‐Bangladesh megathrust, along which the Indian and Burma plates collide, is assumed by some to be inactive/aseismic due to the lack of notable interplate earthquakes in the modern instrumental catalog. However, geological and historical evidence of the great 1762 Arakan ...
