Unfolding rotational tectonics and topographic evolution from localized verses diffuse plate boundary counterparts by Bhaskar Kundu, Frank Zwaan, Batakrushna Senapati

“…Abstract We present a kinematic model developed from geodetic observations, topography analysis and analogue tectonic modelling results, which reveals a striking similarity between the rotational tectonic settings of the Gakkel Ridge-Chersky Range system in the Arctic, and the Central Indian Tectonic Zone within the Indian subcontinent. A crucial aspect of large-scale extensional rift systems is the gradual variation of extension along the rift axis, due to plate rotation about a Euler pole, which may lead to contraction on the opposite side of the Euler pole to form a rotational tectonic system. …”

Analyzing the impact of thermal stress on vegetation health and agricultural drought – a case study from Gujarat, India by C. Bhuiyan, A. K. Saha, N. Bandyopadhyay, F. N. Kogan

“…Although poor precipitation due to delayed arrival and/or early retreat of the southwest monsoon is considered the chief architect of drought in India, heat waves may also play a crucial role in the intensification of droughts. In the Indian subcontinent, occurrence of heat waves during the pre-monsoon and high air-temperature in the subsequent monsoon season imparts thermal stress on vegetation causing degradation of vegetation health (VH). …”
