Rai b, Ashish c a Stanford University, Stanford, CA, United States b National Geophysical Research Institute, Hyderabad, India c CSIR Centre for Mathematical Modeling and Computer Simulation, NAL Belur, Bangalore, India article info abstract Article history: We use common conversion point (CCP) stacking of Ps receiver functions to image the crustal structure Received 20 November 2012 and Moho of the Garhwal Himalaya of India. Our seismic array of 21 broadband seismometers spanned Received in revised form the Himalayan thrust wedge at 79–801E, between the Main Frontal Thrust and the South Tibet 10 February 2013 Detachment, in 2005–2006. Our CCP image shows the Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT), the detachment Accepted 11 February 2013 at the base of the Himalayan thrust wedge, with a flat-ramp-flat geometry. Seismic impedance Editor: T.M. Harrison contrasts inferred from geologic cross-sections in Garhwal imply a negative impedance contrast (velocity decreasing downward) for the upper flat, located beneath the Lower Himalaya, and a positive Keywords: impedance contrast (velocity increasing downward) for the ramp, located beneath the surface trace of Himalaya the Munsiari Thrust (or MCT-I). At the lower flat, located beneath the Higher Himalaya, spatially India coincident measurements of very high electrical conductivities require the presence of free fluids, and Garhwal receiver functions we infer a negative impedance contrast on the MHT caused by ponding of these fluids beneath the CCP stacking detachment.

    Review Tragopans, dilemmas and other horned creatures: why should communities care? 1* 2 MALIKA VIRDI and EMMANUEL THEOPHILUS 1 Sarmoli Jainti Van Panchayat, Munsiari, District Pithoragarh, Uttarakhand, India 2 Himal Prakriti, Munsiari, District Pithoragarh, Uttarakhand, India *Correspondence author - [email protected] Paper presented at the 4 th International Galliformes Symposium, 2007, Chengdu, China Abstract The primary objective of this review is to describe and analyse the efforts of two village communities to conserve the Galliformes within village forests that are owned and used by the villages, as well as in adjoining Reserve Forests. The communities often have to make ‘expensive’ decisions regarding restraint and regulation of the use of such forests, but attempt to do so through collective action in a manner that reconciles livelihoods needs with conservation action. The review describes the biological diversity within the forest areas belonging to the villages, and analyses the nature and effects of anthropogenic pressures on that biodiversity. The strategies adopted by the village communities, through their Village Forest Council or ‘Van Panchayat’, are then discussed. These strategies encompass a wide diversity of elements that are required to address the complexity of the problem. Broader strategies have also begun to be deployed, such as the initiation of cooperation with other village communities and with state partners. The review finishes by discussing the manifest divergences between proclaimed global ecosystem values, and local use-values, as well as divergences on the moral economies of subsistence, and those of the global marketplace, and the need for reconciliation of these in conservation strategy. We believe that community level conservation efforts must favour local ecosystem use-values, while also integrating local and non-local ecosystem values to give needed synergy between such conservation ideals, and to be practical applications.
