Pakistan, India and the Indus River Basin
… a layer of complexity to the issue because the Indus River Basin is a vital resource that both countries share and rely on that passes through the disputed territory of Kashmir. In addition to analyzing effective water management, this thesis also examines how political turmoil with a …

Reimagining planning of irrigated agriculture in the Indus River Basin, Punjab, Pakistan
Faced with rapid resource degradation in the Indus river basin in Punjab, Pakistan, the provincial government of Punjab has identified 'integrated water resource management' as the guiding paradigm for achieving efficient, equitable and environmentally sustainable use of natural resources in the …

A modelling perspective on precipitationin the Indus River Basin: from synopticto Holocene variability
The Indus River civilisation was the first urban society in South Asia. Its demise, ca. 4000 years ago, might have been caused by environmental factors, such as recurrent drought conditions. Yet, palaeoclimate archives present a fragmented picture of the climate at that time. This thesis explores …

A regional study of landslide hazards and related features in the Upper Indus River Basin, northern Pakistan
… a stitched shaded topographic map of the Upper Indus River watershed; using remotely-sensed topographic maps from Russia combined with ASTER DEM 30m resolution data. Topographic recognition keys were then employed to aid in the visual identification and delineation of past landslides, rockslide …

Aridification of the Indian subcontinent during the Holocene : implications for landscape evolution, sedimentation, carbon cycle, and human civilizations
… monsoon variability, using sediment cores from river-dominated margins of the Bay of Bengal (off the Godavari River) and the Arabian Sea (off the Indus River). Carbon isotopes of terrestrial plant leaf waxes (δ13Cwax) preserved in sediment provide integrated and regionally extensive records of …

Geochemical tracers in the deep-sea and the North Sea
… 100 ka. During cold periods, a high input of the Indus river occurs, while in warm periods biogenic particle flux prevails. In the North Sea, mainly the anthropogenic impact on the coastal environment was studied. Heavy minerals indicate higher currents velocities, leading to a loss of fine …

A Multi-Archive Reconstruction of Holocene Summer and Winter Monsoon Variability in NW South Asia
This thesis investigates the paleoclimate of the Indus River Basin and surrounding areas of northwest (NW) South Asia over the last 12,000 years, covering a critical period of human history. The region’s climate is characterized by two overlapping rainfall systems: the Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) …

Governance of International Rivers: Threats, Gaps and Challenges
… looks at issues of governance of international rivers in terms of threats to them, gaps in their governance regimes and challenges associated with closing those gaps. International river basins globally are currently threatened with over-extraction, pollution, damming and infrastructural …

Impact assessment of hydroclimatic change on water stress in the Indus Basin
… output is produced in fields irrigated by the Indus basin irrigation system, the world's largest network of canals, dams, barrages and tubewells. River flows, primarily fed by snow and glacial melt, are highly seasonal and fluctuate between intense floods and droughts. Built storage is …

A Study of Fifth Century Persian Administration in Western Anatolia and Eber Nari
… over two hundred years with an expanse from the Indus river valley to the Greek peninsula. Second, the duration and size of the Persian Empire had created a Pax Persiana which enabled trade and cultural endeavors to prosper. These rulers built on their successes to improve the administration of …

Across mountains and deserts: Patterns of movement and interaction in fourth and third millennium BC south-east Iran
… far flung as Mesopotamia, Turkmenistan and the Indus River Basin in the Late Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age (c.4000-2000 BC). Excavations at sites such as Tepe Yahya, Konar Sandal and Shahr-i Sokhta, and surface collections have revealed evidence for a variety of local, regional and …

From phantom blocks to denudational noise
… these sediments, using the example of the upper Indus River, NW India. There we use river sand samples from the Indus and its tributaries to estimate basin-averaged denudation rates along a ~320-km reach across the Tibetan Plateau margin, to answer the question whether incision into the western …
