In the case of Asia, complex relief hosts some of the richest biodiversity on our planet and is dominated by a system of monsoons, the features of which are determined in large part by topography and land surface characteristics, including vegetation. Such regions have not only acted as an incubator for evolving species but also as refugia during periods of environmental crisis. The exceptional topography of Asia includes the largest and highest elevated region on Earth, the Tibetan Plateau, along with the Himalaya and the Hengduan mountains, collectively referred to here as the THH region. In recent years there has been a revolution in thinking as to how the THH was formed, how the several monsoons systems that affect it have changed, and how it has influenced regional, even global, biodiversity evolution. Accurately dated plant fossils have played key roles in these advances. Here we review the complex evolution of the THH landscape, the modernization of the biota in the Paleogene, and the transition to the modern landscape and monsoon systems in the Neogene. We show how these changes in understanding have been brought about by recent fossil discoveries and new radiometric dating of previously known assemblages, methodological advances arising from integrating improved proxy data, and numerical palaeoclimate modelling. Significant knowledge gaps remain, however, which demand further advances in proxy and numerical methodologies, as well as new fossil discoveries in key locations for specific time intervals.","PeriodicalId":383463,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Palaeosciences","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131811775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quercus, Corylus and Carpinus, interspersed with meadows comprising grasses, Asteraceae, Impatiens, etc. under a warm and moderately moist climate. The dry scrubby element, Juniperus occurred in restricted pockets on the sunny mountain slopes. The frequent record of conifers such as Pinus cf. wallichiana, Cedrus, Abies and Picea implies the proximity of the temperate belt to the study site. Around 13,280 to 7,340 yr BP, the considerable expansion of Betula and broad–leaved allies and a simultaneous reduction in Juniperus elucidate the replacement of alpine scrub forests by temperate Betula–broad–leaved forest in response to onset of a relatively warm and more–moist climate. This change occurred by the upward shift of the timber line as reflected by the improvement in the conifers. The climate deteriorated and turned cold and dry around 7,340 to 5,030 yr BP as manifested by the abrupt reduction in the alpine–scrub vegetation and meadow constituents. Subsequently, between 5,030 and 2,000 yr BP this region witnessed a warm and moist climate again as evidenced from moderate expansion in the alpine–scrubs and conifers.

Seen in this context, the fossil record of dinosaurs from India provides a unique opportunity to study their diversity and palaeobiogeographic distribution in time and space. The Indian fossil record, as currently documented, is patchy and restricted mainly to three intervals of the Mesozoic era: Late Triassic, Early/Middle Jurassic and Late Cretaceous. The Late Triassic–Jurassic record, representing a Pangean setting, is known primarily from the Gondwana formations of Pranhita–Godavari (P–G) Valley in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, although sporadic Jurassic occurrences are also known from Kutch (Gujarat) and Rajasthan. The earliest Late Triassic dinosaur fauna of India comes from the rhynchosaur–dominated Lower Maleri Formation of Carnian age. Known from fragmentary and isolated specimens, the Late Triassic dinosaur fauna is currently represented by the sole species Alwalkeria maleriensis, which is possibly a basal saurischian with uncertain relationships. A slightly younger dinosaur fauna from the archosaur–dominated Upper Maleri Formation of late Norian–earliest Rhaetian age consists of a more diverse assemblage including the two named basal sauropodomorphs (Nambalia roychowdhurii and Jaklapallisaurus asymmetrica). In contrast to the Late Triassic, the Early Jurassic record of Indian dinosaurs described from the Upper Dharmaram and Lower Kota formations of P–G Valley, is far more abundant, diverse and based on more nearly complete material that is currently referred to four named taxa of stem sauropodomorphs or basal sauropods (Lamplughsaura dharmaramensis, Pradhania gracilis, Kotasaurus yamanpalliensis, Barapasaurus tagorei) plus an ornithischian (Ankylosauria). Kotasaurus, one of the earliest known sauropods, is more primitive than Barapasaurus and shared numerous plesiomorphic characteristics with prosauropods. \u0000Together, the Late Triassic and Early Jurassic sauropods dinosaurs of India document the early radiation of this group. Amongst the other important records of Jurassic dinosaurs in India is the oldest known camarasauromorph sauropod whose identification is based on a metacarpal, a first pedal paw and a fibula from the Middle Jurassic (Bajocian) strata of Khadir Island, Kutch. Fragmentary postcranial skeletal material of an unidentified Middle Jurassic dinosaurs is also known from Kuar Bet (Patcham Island) in the Rann of Kutch and the Jumara area of Kutch Mainland.Post–Gondwana, the Late Cretaceous dinosaurs of India occur in a different geodynamic setting in which the Indian Plate, as traditionally considered, was a northward drifting island continent in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

Even for the geochemical fidelity in Ladakh volcanic rocks (basalt); serpentinites, saline lakes, active and fossil hydrothermal systems exist which can give a clue to the processes and chemistry of the Martian grounds. As far as exobiological fidelity is concerned we have permafrost (evidence of water in the past), increased UV and cosmic radiation flux, reduced atmospheric pressure, hot springs (some rich in boron). Hence, Ladakh environment, characters by freezing temperatures, limited precipitation, open water in rivers and lakes, comparatively low atmospheric pressure, thermal springs, and relatively high ultraviolet flux, is an analogue for the Noachian epoch on Mars.

Du Toit was introduced to Sahni by Albert Seward, who was Sahni’s mentor at Cambridge University.

This correspondence reveals in detail just how these geoscientists involved with problems of Gondwana palaeogeography tackled these questions in spite of the long distances, and slow communications of the time. Information, especially that published in local journals, was disseminated by means of sending reprints, proof copies, and sometimes by handwritten lists of fossils.

Palaeoflood studies in India have largely been undertaken in the rivers of Peninsular India, western India, Ganga plains and the Himalayas to determine the magnitude and age of extreme floods and their connection to variations in the monsoon intensity. Usually, the alluvial domains are unfavourable for the occurrence and preservation of flood deposits and related discharge estimation. However, the alluvial rivers of western India owing to their semi–confined banks comprising late Pleistocene sediments provide an opportunity for investigating both, the high magnitude flood events as well as average flow conditions. In this synthesis we concisely review the recent palaeohydrological studies in western India in terms of flood magnitude, occurrence of extreme events and its relation to the southwest monsoon variability over various time scales. Based on palaeo–fluvial reconstructions, the sedimentation pattern during late Pleistocene appears to be related to changes in channel gradient and the water surface width rather than to discharge variability. On the other hand, the aggradation in channels during early Holocene was largely controlled by the huge sediment influx and the incision that followed was in response to the increase in the discharge and competence of the river flow. The slackwater records from the bedrock channels have revealed that the large magnitude flood events occurred during wet climate phases during the last two millennia. A clustering of high magnitude events at climatic transitions and arid periods during mid–late Holocene has been surmised. Further the flood associated deposits delimited within Quaternary fluvial landforms and channel morphology are vital as these allow quantification of past flood discharges, velocities and stage levels and thus improve the future flood predictions.","PeriodicalId":383463,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Palaeosciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128347990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mid–depth oxygen depletion profoundly influences the chemistry of thermocline waters (HCO3 ˉ, CO3 2 ˉ and pH), which in turn significantly influences the preservation state of carbonates. The carbonate preservation is primarily controlled by the degree of saturation level of seawater with respect to the calcite and aragonite. The seawater in OMZ is undersaturated with respect to the aragonite (a metastable polymorph of CaCO3). Pteropod test being aragonitic in composition is therefore highly susceptible to the dissolution and dissolves completely below the aragonite compensation depth (ACD). Because of the current condition of intense OMZ due to high primary productivity, enhanced respiration of sinking organic carbon and reduced thermocline circulation; the ACD is shallow, lying in the middle of the OMZ. Hence, preservation record of pteropods in sea–floor sediment archives past changes in thermocline oxygen condition, carbonate chemistry, the ACD and OMZ intensity. High resolution records of various pteropod preservation indices (total pteropod abundance, transparent Limacina inflata abundance, fragmentation index) in a sediment core from the lower OMZ of the Indian margin (off Goa) enabled to investigate aragonite preservation/dissolution events and their links with the changes in ACD and OMZ intensity in the eastern Arabian Sea during the last 70 kyr BP. The proxy records reveal centennial to millennial scale changes in aragonite preservation condition in concert with Northern Hemisphere climatic events (Dansgaard–Oeschger (D–O) cycles and Heinrich events). The pteropod preservation spikes apparently correspond to the Northern Hemisphere cold events (D–O stadials and Heinrich events). Whereas, the pteropod tests were either poorly preserved or completely dissolved during the warm phases of D–O cycles (interstadials). The aragonite preservation events are attributed to the low monsoon induced productivity combined with the increased thermocline ventilation by Subantarctic Mode and Antarctic Intermediate Waters (SAMW–AAIW) resulting a weak OMZ and deeper ACD. The novel proxies (abundances of Globorotalia menardii, a planktic foraminifera and Styliola subula, a pteropod species) are used to gain better insights in to the variability of thermocline ventilation and OMZ intensity through time.","PeriodicalId":383463,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Palaeosciences","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132985072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Margin– and apex–feeding damage is the most common style of herbivory but hole– and surface–feeding, galling, and oviposition damage are locally well represented. Evidence for skeletonization and mucivory is sparse and that for leaf mining is equivocal. Wood and root boring is recognized widely but only where depositional conditions were conducive to the permineralization of plant axes. Wood boring and detritivory may have been especially favoured arthropod feeding strategies in Permian high latitudes where living foliage was scarce during the polar winters. Herbivory damage is most strongly apparent on glossopterid remains; other groups of broad–leafed gymnosperms and sphenopsids host moderate levels of damage. Damage features are under–represented on lycophytes, ferns and spine– and scale–leafed conifers. A survey of insect body fossils from the Gondwanan Permian reveals that most records are from a small number of rich assemblages that are dominated by Blattodea, Hemiptera, Grylloblattida, Mecoptera and Protelytroptera, accompanied by significant representations of Coleoptera, Glosselytrodea, Miomoptera, Neuroptera, Odonata, Protorthoptera, Palaeodictyopteroida, Paoliida, Paraplecoptera, Plecoptera, Psocoptera, Thysanoptera and Trichoptera, which collectively adopted a broad range of feeding styles. Oribatid mites and collembolans appear to have been important components of the wood–boring and detritivorous communities. Although temporal trends in herbivory styles and diversity are difficult to resolve from mostly incidental observations and illustrations of plant damage across Gondwana, the results of this study provide a baseline of qualitative data for future studies that should adopt a quantitative approach to the analysis of herbivory, spanning the shift from icehouse to hothouse conditions through the Permian of the Southern Hemisphere.","PeriodicalId":383463,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Palaeosciences","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123035355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
