Research from this lab is critical in establishing a robust, basin-wide stratigraphic framework for interpreting basin history, exploiting petroleum potential, identify arsenic-free groundwater horizons, and deciphering detrital record of mountain building in the eastern Himalayas and the Indo-Burman ranges. The goals of HRL are (i) to improve our understanding of the development of the Himalayas, providing ground truth necessary for evaluating models of collisional processes, (ii) and to comprehend water-sediment interactions and biogeochemical processes operating within alluvial aquifers that hold arsenic of cataclysmic proportion in groundwater that is being used by 100’s of millions of people in the southern Himalayan basins.
