Evaluation of the source rock potential of the Unyazah Formation (late Carboniferous-Early Permian) in Dukhan Field, Qatar
( Taylor & Francis (Routledge) , 2019 , Article)Twenty samples were collected from the Unayzah Formation in three wells from Dukhan Field, Qatar. Many samples were of poor quality due to the low TOC content containing gas prone-kerogen type III and IV. The Rock-Eval ... -
Experimental warming differentially affects vegetative and reproductive phenology of tundra plants
( Nature Research , 2021 , Article)Rapid climate warming is altering Arctic and alpine tundra ecosystem structure and function, including shifts in plant phenology. While the advancement of green up and flowering are well-documented, it remains unclear ... -
Fabrication of low emissivity paint for thermal/NIR radiation insulation for domestic applications
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Recently, low-emissivity paint has gained more importance than commercial paints. Low emissivity (Low-E) Paint also termed as a coating for radiation control, in which the emissivity of radiations of longer waves are reduced ... -
Facies architecture and depositional model for a fine-grained hybrid-energy delta: An example from the Upper Cambrian to Lower Ordovician Barik Formation, Central Oman
( Wiley , 2021 , Article)Recognizing ancient deltas' depositional architecture is challenging due to the complex interplay of the fluvial, waves, and tidal processes. The integration of field-based sedimentological and trace fossils studies of the ... -
Forest Degradation Index: A Tool for Forest Vulnerability Assessment in Indian Western Himalaya
( MDPI , 2022 , Article)The global climate is showing altered temperatures and precipitation levels. Forests can be a stabilizing force in climate change. They regulate the nutrient cycle, protect species and diversity, and support livelihoods ... -
Framework of basin eco-compensation standard valuation for cross-regional water supply – a case study in northern China
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)Basin eco-compensation (BEC) helps balance development opportunities and ecological protection. With rising demand for water and severe ecological problems driven by rapid economic growth, an appropriate BEC standard is ... -
Fuelwood and fodder consumption patterns among agroforestry-practicing smallholder farmers of the lower Himalayas, India
( Springer , 2021 , Article)Trees are important as a source of fuelwood and fodder for rural populations in the Himalayas. This paper analysed the fuelwood and fodder consumption patterns of rural households in 16 villages in Alaknanda Valley, ... -
Functionality of the temperate forests in the Western Himalaya with changing climate
( Springer , 2023 , Article)Climate change may potentially affect the biodiversity and functionality of forests globally. An understanding of the relationship between biodiversity and forest ecosystem functioning can be attained by evaluating variations ... -
