Himalayan Hot Springs contributing to global warming!

August 12, 2020865 Views

Carbon outflux from Earth’s interior to the exosphere through volcanic eruptions, fault zones, and geothermal systems contribute to the global carbon cycle that effects short and long term climate of the Earth. Himalaya hosts about 600 geothermal springs, commonly known as hot springs, having varied temperature and chemical conditions. Their role in regional and global climate, as well as the process of tectonic driven gas emission, needs to be considered while estimating emissions to the carbon cycle and thereby to global warming. Hot spring near Yamunotri Indian Himalayan geothermal field hosts about 340 geothermal springs in natural as well as artesian condition that eject hot waters and volatiles with varied temperature and chemical composition. These sites provide an opportunit...

हिंदुस्तान में पतझड़ का रंग अगर कहीं अपने पूरे शबाब पर दिखता है तो वह कश्मीर है। अब मौजूदा माहौल में कश्मीर जाने की बात करना थोड़ा अखरता है, हालांकि कश्मीरी कभी अपने मेहमान सैलानियों पर आंच नहीं आने देते। लेकिन बात पतझड़ के रंगों की हो तो कश्मीर का जिक्र किए बिना रहा भी तो नहीं जाता। कश्मीर की बात ही कुछ ऐसी है। कश्मीर में पतझड़ के मौसम को हारुद कहते हैं (याद है न, आमिर बशीर की बनाई चर्चित फिल्म इसी नाम की थी)। हारुद का मौसम यूं तो कई खासियतें लेकर आता है, लेकिन इसका सबसे अलहदा, खास रंग चिनार की पत्तियों से आता है। वादी के चारों तरफ खड़े पहाड़ भी मानो चिनार के रंग में खुद को रंगने के लिए भूरे हो जाते हैं, बस इससे पहले कि वे बर्फ से सफेद हो जाएं। दरअसल कश्मीर में दोनों ओर कतार में खड़े चिनार के पेड़ और बीच में नीचे बिखरी हुई सुनहरे या सुर्ख लाल रंग की चिनार की पत्तियों की तस्वीर हमेशा स...

जोधपुर के निकट एक गांव पर्यावरण तीर्थ होने की योग्यता रखता है। सदियों पहले जब पर्यावरण संरक्षण के नाम पर न कोई आंदोलन था और न कोई कार्यक्रम, तब वृक्षों के संरक्षण के लिए सैकड़ों अनगढ़ और अनपढ़ लोगों ने यहां आत्मबलिदान कर दिया था। आत्माहुति का ऐसा केंद्र किसी तीर्थ से कम नहीं। पश्चिमी राजस्थान का विश्नोई समुदाय कई मायनों में किवंदती सरीखा है। प्रकृति के लिए अपार प्रेम उनके जीवन का हिस्सा है- जीवन-मरण का सवाल खेजड़ली कलां में पेड़ों का बगीचा राजस्थान के ऐतिहासिक शहर जोधपुर से मात्र 25 किलोमीटर की दूरी पर प्रकृति के अंचल में बसा खेजड़ली गांव किसी भी पर्यावरण प्रेमी के लिए विशेष महत्व का है, जहां आज से पौने तीन सौ साल पहले इस प्रकार की चेतना पैदा हो चुकी थी कि सिर साटैं रुंख रहे तो भी सस्तो जांण, अर्थात यदि सिर देकर भी वृक्षों की रक्षा हो सके तो भी यह बलिदान सस्ता ही है। मूल चिपको आंदोल...
