Retreating Rate of Chaturangi Glacier, Garhwal Himalaya, India Derived from Kinematic GPS Survey and Satellite Data

Abstract

MT study. The sediments beneath Sanchore, Patan and Mehsana sub-basins are much thicker and comparatively less thicker over Diyodar and Tharad ridges. The resistive blocks on the western margin of CRB represent igneous intrusives whereas on eastern margin, they indicate the Precambrian formations of the Aravalli-Delhi fold belt. The electrical resistivity variations across these basins infer that the subsurface structure is highly heterogeneous in nature, due to the faults within the rift basins. Thus the results of our MT study together with other geophysical studies and well data, may further refine the sediment thickness estimates across the rift basins.
