Studying core samples from this region assisted in the reconstruction of the paleooceanographic evolution over the past 23 million years, aiding in our understanding of climate change.
Scientists sought to understand the interaction between the Himalayas and Tibetan plateau uplift and the development and evolution of the Indian summer monsoon.
Scientists explored the relations between the growth of the Himalaya, the development of the monsoon cycle, and past global climate.
By studying the foraminifera in the sediment, scientists uncovered the mysteries of the past climate and changes in monsoon activity.
