Abstract:

"Meghalaya is a richly inhabited Indian state. Drums, flutes of bamboo and hand-held small cymbals are a common ensemble. The advent of Christianity in the middle of the 20th century marked the start of a decline in tribal popular music. Over time, Meghalaya’s music scene has evolved, attracting many talented artists and bands from both traditional and not-so traditional genres. Any of the most recent Meghalaya musicians and bands is: The Plague Throat, Kerios Wahlang, Cryptographik Street Poets, etc., Soulmate, Lou Majaw, and Snow White. Meghalaya’s music is characterised by traditional instr

Abstract:

The aims of this study were to review human-environment interactions during the Meghalayan and to search for the stratigraphic boundary of a new epoch, informally termed the Anthropocene, as well as to determine whether the stratigraphic signals of human activity on the Meghalaya Plateau in Northeast India can be correlated globally. This plateau is the base of the Meghalayan Age that was determined from a speleothem in a cave located on it. Review indicates that study region developed on the periphery of ancient Indian civilisation, with stratigraphic signals of human activity being apparent

The subject of the study is a new formal subdivision of Holocene epoch applied to the northern regions of the Russian permafrost. The following criteria are considered: criteria for the modern allocation of three calendar periods of the Holocene; comparison with the Blitt-Sernander scheme; comparison with the three-term division of the Holocene for the Russian Arctic, proposed by Yu.K.Vasilchuk. In 2008, the International Commission on Stratigraphy (IUGS) established the boundary between the Holocene and the Neo-Pleistocene at the turn of about 11,700 calibrated years ago (cal. l. n.).

Abstract:

A well-preserved fossil tree trunk was discovered in Valle del Cauca, Colombia. The radiocarbon date indicated that the tree lived during the Late Holocene, Meghalayan (4255 - 4083 cal BP). This finding is significant because the tree retains much of its original tissue. Based on wood anatomical comparisons, we suggest that this non-mineralized wood belongs to the family Lecythidaceae, a pantropical group of trees. This family includes around 12 recognized fossil genera based on fossil wood. The fossil probably belongs to the Bertholletia clade, which includes slow-growing, shadetolerant speci

Materialistic plastic items, cloth, tin and aluminum kitchen and home appliance pollutants brought by the river Wah Ummulah from the nearby villages including Sohra; litter the cave.

The robust chronological frame allows us to date this bio-event to 4.8–4.4 ka Before Present (BP), very close to the base of the Meghalayan stage (4.2 ka BP).

Abstract:

Peat and lacustrine sediments are a valuable source of knowledge about past biodiversity. Plant macrofossil remains were identified in sediments of mires in northeastern Poland’s Knyszyn Forest. Among them, the remains of species currently absent in this area, such as Potamogeton pusillus, P. friesii, P. filiformis, Myriophyllum alterniflorum, and Cladium mariscus, have been found. In addition, the history of Betula humilis and its possible correlations with another species of bush birch—Betula nana—were of interest. Radiocarbon dating allowed the presence of the studied species to be placed w

Abstract:

This study is an attempt to simulate the tropospheric conditions associated with lightning and thunderstorms, which occurred during 28-30 March 2017 over northeastern Bangladesh using WRF model. At Sylhet, rainfall amounts of 119 mm and 134 mm are found to occur on 29 March and 31 March 2017 respectively. The continuous very heavy rainfall has been responsible for the devastating flash flood in Sunamganj and adjoining areas in 2017. The study shows that forecasting of lightning and flash flood producing thunderstorms is possible by analyzing different meteorological parameters simulated by WRF

Abstract:

This study looks at the relationship between soil chemical characteristics and nematode communities in Meghalaya's agricultural landscapes. Nematodes, which are important bioindicators of soil health, were studied in connection to soil characteristics such as pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Organic Carbon (OC), and nutrient levels (N, P, K) in various parts of Meghalaya. The study found strong relationships between soil chemistry and the spread of various nematode taxa. Acidic soils with lower pH and higher organic carbon were shown to have higher populations of plant-parasitic nematodes suc

Abstract:

The Bangladeshi Cricket Frog (Minervarya asmati), previously recorded in Bangladesh, Manipur, and Mizoram, is newly reported from Shillong and Cherrapunjee, Meghalaya, India. During a herpetological survey in March 2024, three male specimens were collected from paddy fields and ephemeral pools. Morphological traits matched existing descriptions, and phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA sequences confirmed species identity with 100% bootstrap support. This finding extends the known range northward by 260 km. With M. asmati, Meghalaya’s amphibian diversity reaches 62 species. The study emphasizes t

Abstract:

The spatial distribution and performance of Primary Health Centres (PHCs) play a vital role in shaping health care delivery in Meghalaya, a predominantly rural, hilly state in northeastern India characterized by scattered settlements and challenging terrain. This study investigates disparities in PHC performance across districts, highlighting critical gaps in equitable health care access. Meghalaya's topography, with elevations ranging from 150 to over 1,950 meters, creates significant logistical and infrastructural barriers to service delivery.

Here we present an almost complete and integrated Holocene record of marine and terrestrial palaeoenvironmental change from the NE shelf of the Black Sea. A dinoflagellate cyst record used to reconstruct Holocene sea-surface conditions highlights that the NE shelf was a brackish water environment, with a minimum salinity of 7 psu in the early-Holocene before changing at a gradual rate to a more saline environment with maximum salinities of ~18 psu being reached around 3 cal. ka. A warming phase was detected from 6 cal. ka BP, with warmest conditions between 3 and 2.5 cal. ka BP. A pollen recor

Combining methods, data was obtained from different tourists who answered questionnaires and underwent interviews. Through our research, we found a variety of things that influence whether visitors act responsibly which gives us a more detailed view of their eco-friendly views and behaviours. Because of concern over climate change, people travelling are now more likely to act in environmentally friendly ways. We can see from the research that many populat

Vegetation landscape dynamics are derived from the relationships established between anthropic activities and climate conditions over time. Paleoenvironmental research in the Pyrenees range (north-eastern Iberian Peninsula) has revealed what these dynamics were like in some regions during the Holocene. However, some fields of biogeography still present questions that need to be addressed, such as the patterns of Fagus sylvatica and Abies alba and the importance of the fire regime during the Meghalayan (late Holocene).
