Why India Is Disappearing Under China In Tectonic Tug-Of-War

Hanle, Ladakh: The military stand-off between India and China along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) found an amicable solution recently. However, another kind of tug-of-war between India and China - a continuous and ancient tectonic one - has been going on with the Indian tectonic plate constantly losing land by sliding under the Tibetan plate. The Indian landmass has been shrinking as its tectonic plate has been sliding under the Eurasian or Tibetan plate.

More extreme rains likely in future due to warm temperatures

In the future, there could be a decrease in cloud cover along with an increase in cloud water content, suggesting a shift in the cloud type to more convective clouds resulting in extreme rains. It means the Indian summer monsoon season is expected to have short bursts of convective rains leading to extreme rainfall events but drier conditions for most days. Dr. Stella Jes Varghese, currently working as a Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB) national post-doctoral fellow at CEOAS carried out the research under the mentorship of Ashok Karumuri. It is also collaborative research involving scientists from CSIR Fourth Paradigm Institute, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay and Meteorological Research Institute (MRI), Japan, including  Sajani Surendran, Kavirajan Rajendran, Subimal Ghosh and Akio Kitoh.

The study was published in the latest issue of Geophysical Research Letters https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2023GL105680
