Digital elevation model provides information about the Aufey field in the Trans-Himalayan region
Seasonal ophei fields, such as those found in Gya, are spread across parts of India’s Ladakh and Tibetan plateaus. The thickness can reach several meters (Photo taken on January 27, 2024). Credit: Marcus Nusser A team of geographers from Heidelberg University’s South Asia Institute studied the thickness and volume of the previously unexplored Aufey field in the trans-Himalayan region of…
