Aridification of the Indian subcontinent during the Holocene : implications for landscape evolution, sedimentation, carbon cycle, and human civilizations
… the Indus River). Carbon isotopes of terrestrial plant leaf waxes (δ13Cwax) preserved in sediment provide integrated and regionally extensive records of flora for both sites. For the Godavari River basin the δ13Cwax record shows a gradual increase in aridity-adapted vegetation from ~4,000 until …

Aridification of the Indian subcontinent during the Holocene : implications for landscape evolution, sedimentation, carbon cycle, and human civilizations
… the Indus River). Carbon isotopes of terrestrial plant leaf waxes ([delta]¹³Cwax) preserved in sediment provide integrated and regionally extensive records of flora for both sites. For the Godavari River basin the ([delta]¹³Cwax record shows a gradual increase in aridity-adapted vegetation from …

Plant organic matter mobilization and export in fluvial systems
… is the photosynthetic carbon fixation in plants and the subsequent longterm deposition of plant detritus in sediments. The main objective of this thesis is to identify factors that control mobilization and transport of plant organic matter (pOM) through rivers towards sedimentation basins. …

Tropical climate variability from the last glacial maximum to the present
… isotopic composition of terrestrially-derived plant waxes in sediments. Arabian Sea SST patterns, reconstructed from a suite of sediment cores representing four time slices utilizing the Mg/Ca SST proxy, suggest that both the summer and winter monsoons were enhanced 8,000 yr BP relative to …
