Morphology and evolution of an alluvial fan-a case study of Kalanutala,Prakasam district,A.P.

Alluvial fans are the dominant landforms of the semi-aird and arid environments of the world. Studies on alluvial fans elsewhere suggest that there is a close relationship between the morphology of the fan and the drainage basin area; lithology, mean slope, vegetation, climatic and tectonic environments of the source area. An alluvial fan at Kalanutala village, in Prakasam district of Anthra Pradesh, has been studied in detail in order to analyse it's morphology and arrive at its geomorphic evolution. From a study of fan morphology and it's composition, it has been arrived, at the conclusion that there is a relationship between the fan and it's drainage basin (Kompayasela). Further, this study reveals that the apparent segmentation of the fan is not because of tectonic movement but due to the underlying topography of pediment. The study of fan morphology and its materials suggests that the initial deposition of fan took place in a humid climate, but gradually changed to the present arid climate.     

A note on palaeozoic bryozoa from the nayar phyllite formation,pauri garhwal,U.P.

This note records the discovery of bryozoan fossils collected from Nayar Phyllite Formation exposed around Satpuli, from a locality SSW of Ira (29° 53′32″: 78° 46′52″) in Pauri Garhwal district, U.P. On the basis of preliminary studies the fossil assemblage has been assigned to the families Phylloporinidae and Fenestellidae. The assemblage tentatively indicates Ordovician — early Silurian age for the formation.

Assessment of Fragmentation and Disturbance Patterns in Eastern Ghats: A Case Study in R.V. Nagar Range,Visakhapatnam District,Andhra Pradesh,India

At present the biodiversity in Eastern Ghats is threatened by loss of habitats, exploitation and unscientific management of natural resources, forest fire, biological invasion and other anthropogenic pressures. In this context, we have assessed the forest cover changes, fragmentation and disturbance in the R.V. Nagar Range of Eastern Ghats region, Andhra Pradesh using satellite remote sensing and GIS techniques. Satellite data of IRS-1A LISS II of 1988 and IRS-P6 LISS III of 2006 were assessed for forest cover changes in 1 sq.km grid and generated as Sensitivity Index map. Further the road and settlement buffer of 1000 m was generated to represent Threat Index map. From 1988 to 2006, the forest cover had a total cover loss of 35.2 sq.km and increase in scrub cover by 7.2%. Over all change analysis from 1988 to 2006 with reference to forest cover indicates, negative changes (loss of forest area) accounted for 48.1 sq.km area and positive changes (gain of forest) for an area of 12.1 sq.km of area. The results of the change detection using multi-date satellite imagery suggest degradation in forest cover over two decades, which necessitates the conservation measures in this range with high priority.     

A new,high-resolution geoid for Canada and part of the U.S. by the 1D-FFT method

A new, high-resolution and high-precision geoid has been computed for the whole of Canada and part of the U.S., ranging from 35°N to about 90°N in latitude and 210°E to 320°E in longitude. The OSU91A geopotential model complete to degree and order 360 was combined with a 5 × 5 mean gravity anomaly grid and 1km × 1km topographical information to generate the geoid file. The remove-restore technique was adopted for the computation of terrain effects by Helmert's condensation reduction. The contribution of the local gravity data to the geoid was computed strictly by the 1D-FFT technique, which allows for the evaluation of the discrete spherical Stokes integral without any approximation, parallel by parallel. The indirect effects of up to second order were considered. The internal precision of the geoid, i.e. the contribution of the gravity data and the model coefficients noise, was also evaluated through error propagation by FFT. In a relative sense, these errors seem to agree quite well with the external errors and show clearly the weak areas of the geoid which are mostly due to insufficient gravity data coverage. Comparison of the gravimetric geoid with the GPS/levelling-derived geoidal heights of eight local GPS networks with a total of about 900 stations shows that the absolute agreement with respect to the GPS/levelling datum is generally better than 10 cm RMS and the relative agreement ranges, in most cases, from 4 to 1 ppm over short distances of about 20 to 100km, 1 to 0.5 ppm over distances of about 100 to 200 km, and 0.5 to 0.1 ppm for baselines of 200 to over 1000 km. Other existing geoids, such as UNB90, GEOID90 and GSD91, were also included in the comparison, showing that the new geoid achieves the best agreement with the GPS/levelling data.Presented at theIAG General Meeting, Beijing, P.R.

Morphometric analysis of a drainage basin using aerial photographs: A case study of Khairkuli basin,district Dehradun,U.P.

Remote sensing techniques using satellite images and aerial photographs are convenient tools in morphometric analysis of a drainage basin. In the present study morphometric parameters of Khairkuli drainage basin, district Dehradun, are worked out using aerial photographs. The parameters worked out include bifurcation ratio, stream length, form factor, circulatory ratio, elongation ratio, drainage density, constant of channel maintenance and stream frequency. Hypsometric relations of drainage basin are also presented. Relation between cumulative stream length and the stream order establishes that the ratio between cumulative stream length Σ ₁ ^u Σ ₁ ^nu Lu and the stream order u is constant throughout the. successive orders of a drainage basin suggesting that geometrical similarity is preserved in the basins of increasing order. The morphometric parameters computed suggest that the area is covered by resistant permeable rocks (with fracture and karstic porosities) and vegetative cover, the drainage network is affected by tectonic disturbances. The peak flows generated from the basin are likely to be moderately high and of short duration.
