What's cooking in the Indus Civilisation? Investigating Indus food through ceramic lipid residue analysis
… used in ceramic vessels by populations of the Indus Civilisation through ceramic lipid residue analysis. It uses concepts of food choice and foodways to explore the culinary practices of Indus populations. Specifically, the thesis examines how vessels may have been used in urban and rural Indus …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Climate change, water stress and agriculture in the Indus Civilisation, 3000-1500 BC
… social change in South Asia’s Bronze Age urban Indus Civilisation. Specifically, my research tests the hypothesis that an abrupt weakening of the Indian Summer Monsoon ca 2100 cal BC led to increasing crop water stress, and hence potentially contributed to the Civilisation’s decline by reducing …

Rivers without a Territory: Indus Waters Treaty, 1960 and the Erasure of Kashmir
… in South Asia through a history of the Indus Waters Treaty, 1960. While most narratives of 20th century self-determination focus on the postcolonial state navigating a biased global order, I address an important gap in scholarship by centring forgotten peoples within these states whose …

Stratigraphy and Palaeoenvironment of the Paleocene/Eocene boundary interval in the Indus Basin, Pakistan
… are preserved in the Patala Formation (Upper Indus Basin) and Dungan Formation (Lower Indus Basin), Pakistan. The P/E interval of the Patala Formation is composed of limestone and shale inter-beds indicating deposition on a carbonate platform. The analysis of larger foraminifera across the P/E …

Observed and Predicted Climate Change Impact on Water Resources of the Upper Indus Basin: English
… in river flows. The water resources of the Upper Indus Basin (UIB) are highly dependent on the winter westerly disturbances (WWD) and summer monsoon systems. However, the impacts of change in this complex climate system vary spatially and temporally across the UIB, making it difficult to assess …

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 …

Sustainability of the Indus Basin: Impact of tertiary salinity/sodicity on wheat productivity, damage assessment and future public policy
The Indus Basin of Pakistan has the largest contiguous canal irrigation system in the world. However, the canal system, as important as it is, has overshadowed the equally important supplementary source of irrigation in the Basin--the groundwater. Today, over 40% of the annual irrigation …

Ceramic traditions and ceramic landscapes of the Indus Civilisation: investigating the technologies and socio-economic complexity of rural pottery production in Bronze Age northwest India.
… choices made by rural communities of the Indus Civilisation (c.2600-1900BC) by analysing ceramic materials from three villages in north-west India. The Indus Civilisation has typically been characterised as a society that underwent a broadly homogeneous development, and continuity and …

Social Organisation And Change In Bronze Age South Asia: A multi-proxy approach to urbanisation, deurbanisation and village life through phytolith and macrobotanical analysis
… choices made by rural populations of the Indus Civilisation (3200-1300BC) and the subsequent Painted Grey Ware period (1300-500BC) by analysing macrobotanical and phytolith remains from five rural settlements in north-west India. The Indus Civilisation has typically been characterised as a …

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) …
