The first edition of the official Manual of the Geology of India by Medlicott and Blanford appeared in 1879 and a second edition by R. D. Oldham was published in 1893. They were out of print by IglO or thereabouts. Students of geology were, however, fortu­ nate in the publication, by Mr. D. N. Wadia, of his excellent book 'Geology of India' in I gIg, and the subsequent editions. For about a quarter of a century it has been the only book available on the subject. A new book on Indian Stratigraphy needs therefore no apology to make its appearance, especially at a time when the subject is attracting the attention of an increas­ ing number of students and the educated public alike. I have endeavoured to include all the most import­ ant and useful information up to the time of going to Press subject to the limitations set by the size and standard of this book. But, as my official duties have kept me away from Calcutta since the latter part of 1941, I have not had the advantage of the unrivalled library facilities available at Calcutta at the time of the final revision of the manuscript. From the time I began the manuscript, I have received constant encouragement from Dr. Cyril S. Fox, Director of the Geological Survey of India, who found time, amidst his manifold duties, to read it through. I am indebted to him for many useful suggestions, for permission to make use of the Geological Survey publications for illustrations, and for obtaining for me the sanction of the Government of India to publish the book. It is a pleasure to acknowledge the valuable help I have received from my colleagues Messrs. N. K. N. Aiyangar and M. S. Venkataraman at all times during iv GEOLOGY OF lNDIA AND 1}uRMA. the preparation of the manuscript and during its publi. cation. To Dr. K. Jacob I am grateful for assistance and helpful criticism in conn~ction with the chapter on the Gondwana System and in the preparation of the plates illustrating that chapter. Several difficulties cropped up soon after the manuscript was handed over to the Madras Law Journal Press for publication. My warmest thanks are due to the management and staff of the Press for surmounting the difficulties and sUl.cessfully bringing out the book in spite of the unprecedented conditions created by the war, and for the courtesy shown to me at all times.

    Eco-Hydrology and Chemical Pollution of Western Ghats

    Eco-hydrology and Chemical Pollution of Western Ghats Dr.Mathew Koshy M..Sc., M.Phil., Ph.D. Reader and Research Guide in Chemistry, Bishop Moore College, Mavelikara.Kerala Eco-hydrology Eco-hydrology is a new integrative science that involves finding solutions to issues surrounding water, people, and the environment. One of the fundamental concepts involved in eco-hydrology is that the timing and availability of freshwater is intimately linked to ecosystem processes, and the goods and services provided by fresh waters to societies. This means that emphasis is placed on the hydrological cycle and its effects on ecological processes and human well-being. Limnology Limnology is the science that deals with the physical, chemical and biological properties and features of fresh waters. A professional who studies fresh water systems is a limnologist. Lotic System: The lotic environment is consisting of all inland waters in which entire water body continually flows in a definite direction. etc. rivers streams. Lentic system: The lentic environment has been including all inland waters in which water has been not continually flowing in a definite direction. Standing waters Western Ghats The Western Ghats hill range extends along the west coast of India, covering an area of 160,000 square kilometers. The presence of these hills creates major precipitation gradients that strongly influence regional climate, hydrology and the distribution of vegetation types and endemic plants. Biodiversity Although the total area is less than 6 percent of the land area of India, the Western Ghats contains more than 30 percent of all plant, fish, fauna, bird, and mammal species found in India.

  • A Kachin Case Study

    A Kachin Case Study

    MUSEUMS, DIASPORA COMMUNITIES AND DIASPORIC CULTURES A KACHIN CASE STUDY HELEN MEARS PHD 2019 0 Abstract This thesis adds to the growing body of literature on museums and source communities through addressing a hitherto under-examined area of activity: the interactions between museums and diaspora communities. It does so through a focus on the cultural practices and museum engagements of the Kachin community from northern Myanmar. The shift in museum practice prompted by increased interaction with source communities from the 1980s onwards has led to fundamental changes in museum policy. Indeed, this shift has been described as “one of the most important developments in the history of museums” (Peers and Brown, 2003, p.1). However, it was a shift informed by the interests and perspectives of an ethnocentric museology, and, for these reasons, analysis of its symptoms has remained largely focussed on the museum institution rather than the communities which historically contributed to these institutions’ collections. Moreover, it was a shift which did not fully take account of the increasingly mobile and transnational nature of these communities. This thesis, researched and written by a museum curator, was initiated by the longstanding and active engagement of Kachin people with historical materials in the collections of Brighton Museum & Art Gallery. In closely attending to the cultural interests and habits of overseas Kachin communities, rather than those of the Museum, the thesis responds to Christina Kreps’ call to researchers to “liberate our thinking from Eurocentric notions of what constitutes the museum and museological behaviour” (2003, p.x). Through interviews with individual members of three overseas Kachin communities and the examination of a range of Kachin-related cultural productions, it demonstrates the extent to which Kachin people, like museums, are highly engaged in heritage and cultural preservation, albeit in ways which are distinctive to normative museum practices of collecting, display and interpretation.

China Received 24 January 2007; accepted in revised form 14 May 2007 Available online 28 November 2007 Abstract Lithostratigraphic studies of the Upper JurassiceLower Cretaceous sedimentary successions exposed in the TingrieGyangze area, south- eastern Tibet resulted in the establishment of a revised stratigraphic framework. A major crustal fault separates the southern Tibetan sedimentary successions into a Southern Zone and a Northern Zone. The Upper JurassiceLower Cretaceous strata of the Southern Zone are subdivided into the Menkadun Formation (Oxfordian, Kimmeridgian, up to lower Upper Tithonian), the Gucuo Formation (Upper Tithonian to Lower Albian) and the overlying Dongshan Formation (Upper Albian). The Gucuo Formation is further subdivided into a quartz arenite unit, which is overlain by a shale unit, in turn overlain by a volcaniclastic sandstone unit. The youngest cluster of detrital zircon absolute age data (127.7 Æ 1.8 Ma) from the lower part of the volcaniclastic unit of the Gucuo Formation place the volcanic event before the Late Barremian. In the Northern Zone, the Upper JurassiceLower Cretaceous strata have been subdivided into four formations: the Zhera Formation (Upper Jurassic), the Weimei Formation (Tithonian), the Rilang Formation (?Berriasian) and the Gyabula Formation (? post-Valanginian).

The contradiction is appalling and there is no one to blame but ourselves. We have been taking this resource for granted for far too long and its implications are now upon us. Being residents of Chennai, we felt the need to spread awareness on this issue. That was the primary reason for choosing this theme-Where’s My Water? People seem to remember this problem for one week but forget it in the next. We realized that we needed to communicate the message in a different manner. Thereby, we decided to talk about the benefits of water, reminding everyone of the abundant resources that water provides us with and why we need to conserve it. In this edition of Newsish, we have addressed the various facets of water including movies, wars, sunken ships and cities, lost treasures, wonders, machines, sports, and religious aspects. We would like to thank Omana Ma’am and all the teachers involved for giving us the opportunity to make this an E-Magazine. The idea behind opting for an online magazine was to put an end to the large amount of paper wastage we were incurring by publishing a printed edition.

The origin of carbonated silicate melts through liquid-immiscibility or fractional alkaline silicate and carbonatite magmatism, exclusively crystallization suggest genetic connection between carbonate and recorded in the Chhotanagpur Gneissic Complex and silicate derivatives, whereas direct genetic connection between these the Shillong Plateau-Mikir Hills in the eastern/north- two rocks is uncertain if derived directly from low-degree partial eastern regions of the Indian Shield, have been reviewed melts of carbonated mantle peridotite at deeper level (cf. Bell et al., to understand their genetic aspects. These are thought 1998; Gittins and Harmer, 2003; Srivastava et al., 2005; Mitchell, 2005; Melluso et al., 2010; Beccaluva et al., 2017). Furthermore, the to be associated to the Kerguelen hot spot, active in this spatial and temporal connections between carbonatites and Large region during ca. 118-100 Ma. The existing geochemical, Igneous Provinces (LIPs), and ultimately to plume tectonics, are also geochronological and isotopic data do not support any well established (e.g. Simonetti et al., 1998; Bell and Tilton, 2001; definite emplacement order for these diverse groups of Campbell, 2005; Ernst, 2014; Bryan and Ernst, 2008; Ernst and Bell, magmatic suites.
