Crustal redistribution, crust–mantle recycling and Phanerozoic evolution of the continental crust
We here attempt a global scale mass balance of the continental crust during the
Phanerozoic and especially the Cenozoic (65Ma). Continental crust is mostly recycled back …

Provenance of Thal Desert sand: Focused erosion in the western Himalayan syntaxis and foreland-basin deposition driven by latest Quaternary climate change
As a latest Pleistocene repository of Indus River sand at the entry point to the Himalayan
foreland basin, the Thal dune field in northern Pakistan stores crucial information that can be …

Holocene erosion of the Lesser Himalaya triggered by intensified summer monsoon
Climate is one of the principal controls setting rates of continental erosion. Here we present
the results of a provenance analysis of Holocene sediments from the Indus delta in order to …

Sediment fluxes and buffering in the post‐glacial Indus Basin
The Indus drainage has experienced major variations in climate since the Last Glacial
Maximum (LGM) that have affected the volumes and compositions of the sediment reaching …

Clay mineral variations in Holocene terrestrial sediments from the Indus Basin
We employed X-ray diffraction methods to quantify clay mineral assemblages in the Indus
Delta and flood plains since~ 14 ka, spanning a period of strong climatic change …

Sediment provenance, reworking and transport processes in the Indus River by U–Pb dating of detrital zircon grains
We present new major and trace element data, together with U–Pb ages for zircon sand
grains from the major tributaries of the Indus River, as well as the adjacent Ghaggar and …

Signal or noise? Isolating grain size effects on Nd and Sr isotope variability in Indus delta sediment provenance
Radiogenic elements, such as neodymium (Nd) and strontium (Sr), are commonly used to
decipher the provenance and weathering histories of bulk siliciclastic sediments worldwide …

Monsoon control over erosion patterns in the western Himalaya: possible feed-back into the tectonic evolution
Abstract The Indus Delta is constructed of sediment eroded from the western Himalaya and
since 20 ka has been subjected to strong variations in monsoon intensity. Provenance …

Sediment storage and reworking on the shelf and in the canyon of the Indus River‐fan system since the last glacial maximum
The transport of sediment from the mouth of the Indus River on to the deep‐water submarine
fan is complicated by temporary storage within large clinoforms on the shelf on either side of …

Tracing the Vedic Saraswati River in the Great Rann of Kachchh
Abstract The lost Saraswati River mentioned in the ancient Indian tradition is postulated to
have flown independently of the Indus River into the Arabian Sea, perhaps along courses of …
