Geological Journal, 2026
The present study reports a geochemical evaluation of Permian aged Raniganj, Barren Measure and Barakar shales from R1 and R4 boreholes from the NE part of the Raniganj sub‐basin. We have investigated organic matter characteristics, stable isotopic composition, hydrocarbon potential and kerogen kinetics to decipher shale gas potential as well as artificial hydrocarbon generation prospect. The shales contain high total organic carbon (TOC) content ~2.5–26.5 wt%, mainly Type III kerogen with minor Type II/III kerogen. The provenance of organic matters has been determined using δ13Corg and δ15Nbulk composition and Total Nitrogen content to be predominantly terrestrial deposited primarily in an oxic to suboxic environment. Kinetic parameters for kerogen degradation reactions namely, activation energies (Ea) distribution, frequency factors are in the range of typical Type III kerogen. A narrow range of peak Ea distribution indicates relative homogeneity of organic matter which is also evident from FTIR spectra showing relative abundance of aromatic compounds. Maceral assemblage reveals substantial presence of Type I/Type II liptinite macerals namely, alginite, sporinite, cutinite along with Type III vitrinite macerals which likely elevated the kerogen type and hydrogen index (HI), and resulted in a narrow Ea distribution. The kerogen transformation ratio and the hydrocarbon generation rate indicate considerably earlier onset of kerogen transformation and quicker completion of hydrocarbon generation for R4 shales suggesting better potential for R4 shales relative to R1 shales. Furthermore, Rock‐Eval parameters S2, TOC, Hydrogen Index, Tmax summarise that the shales derived predominantly from terrestrial sources contain mainly Type III with some mixed Type II–III kerogen with potential for wet/dry gas generation. In the absence of any post‐depositional igneous activity in the NE part of the Raniganj sub‐basin, the shales are in an early matured state unlike shales from the NW part.

This study investigates four Late Permian Gondwana coals from the Raniganj sub-basin, Damodar Valley and three Early Permian Gondwana coals from the Talcher sub-basin, Mahanadi Valley. The study aims to characterize the kerogen type, hydrocarbon generation potential, thermal maturity, and organic matter composition, as well as to explore the impact of organic matter characteristics on kerogen kinetic parameters, utilizing multi proxy approach. The study further investigates the influence of the mineral matrix on kerogen decomposition kinetics. Based on the Rock-Eval parameters, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) parameters, and vitrinite reflectance ( R o ), the kerogen is primarily classified as immature/early mature Type Ⅲ kerogen derived from terrestrial land plants, with minor contribution from Type Ⅱ kerogen having mainly gas generating potential. The source of the organic matter, as determined by stable carbon isotopic composition (δ 13 C org ) values and C/N ratios indicates a primary input from C 3 terrestrial plants. The presence of enriched collotelinites and liptinites, such as sporinite and resinite, provides evidence for the input of terrestrial higher plants, including both herbaceous and arborescent species. Various indices derived from maceral abundances, including the gelification index ( GI ), tissue preservation index ( TPI ), and vegetation index ( VI ), collectively indicate diverse depositional conditions which range from wet forest swamps to shallow water-covered wet forest swamps and even dry forest swamps. The variation in vitrinite macerals influenced the kerogen type and consequently impacted the kinetic parameters, viz. the distribution of activation energies ( E a ), kerogen transformation ratio ( KTR ), and hydrocarbon generation rate ( HGR ). Among the Talcher coals, shaly coals exhibit different kerogen type and kerogen transformation. This dissimilarity can be attributed to variable maceral compositions. Unlike the Talcher samples, all Raniganj samples show consistent kinetic behaviour despite their sample type (coal/shaly coal) or kerogen type (Type Ⅲ/mixed Type Ⅱ/Ⅲ) owing to comparable liptinite/vitrinite maceral composition. This study reveals that whilst the presence of mineral matrix shifts the apparent E a of kerogen through interactions like adsorption and catalysis, it does not significantly affect the kerogen type, HGR , or KTR of the studied coals. • The Permian coals/shaly coals from Raniganj and Talcher sub-basins contain terrestrial Type Ⅲ/Ⅱ kerogen. • E a distribution/FTIR denote heterogeneity of OM. • Organofacies instead of sample nature influences the kerogen type/kinetic parameters. • Different sample nature but similar macerals may exhibit similar kerogen kinetics. • Similar FTIR spectra but different macerals may produce different kinetic outcomes.

Background: Metabolic-dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is rising globally, including in India, yet community-based data remain scarce. We address this critical knowledge gap by assessing the prevalence, distribution, and characteristics of MASLD subgroups and fibrosis, leveraging the Phenome India cohort. Methods: In this prospective study, we recruited 10,267 adults across 37 laboratories of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) from 27 Indian cities. All permanent staff members of the CSIR, including current employees, retirees, and their spouses who responded to the recruitment campaign and provided voluntary consent, were considered for participation in the Phenome India Cohort. Steatosis and fibrosis were assessed using Transient Elastography, along with associated clinical, biochemical, cytokine and anthropometric data. Overall, crude and age-adjusted prevalence rates were estimated in the study population and various subgroups. Findings: Of 10,267 individuals screened, 7764 were included, 3712 (47.8%) fulfilled MASLD criteria, corresponding to an age-adjusted prevalence of 38.9% (95% CI 37.2-40.6). Significant fibrosis, defined as liver stiffness measurement (LSM) ≥8.2 kPa (≥F2), was more frequent in MASLD (6.3% [234 of 3688]) than in cases without-MASLD (1.7% [69 of 4027]), corresponding to an age-adjusted prevalence of 4.1% in MASLD. Overall age-adjusted prevalence of significant fibrosis was 2.4%, which clustered in older adults (>60 years) and in those with diabetes or obesity class II, with evidence of possible regional variation. Interpretation: MASLD affected over one-third of participants. Site-specific disparities were observed, which suggest the need for large-scale longitudinal studies to elucidate region-specific risk factors and temporal trends. Community-based awareness and targeted public health interventions across diverse geographical and socio-cultural settings in India may help curb the rising burden. Funding: The work was funded by CSIR, India grant HCP47.

The physicochemical evolution of cratonic lithosphere reflects the impacts of tectonomagmatic processes over its lifetime that may be deciphered using kimberlite-borne xenoliths and xenocrysts, but remain poorly constrained for the Indian Dharwar craton, owing to the dearth of fresh mantle material. This study examines detailed petrography and geochemical composition of six eclogite xenoliths, and additional eclogitic and peridotitic garnet separates, from the Wajrakarur kimberlites in the Eastern Dharwar Craton (EDC). Clinopyroxene in eclogite xenoliths is too altered to permit contamination-free sampling during laser ablation for trace element analysis. We overcome this limitation by exploiting relationships of clinopyroxene-garnet distribution coefficients with garnet Ca#, clinopyroxene jadeite content, and temperature. This allows a more accurate delineation of their petrogenesis from reconstructed bulk rocks and indicates their origin from variably plagioclase-rich oceanic crustal protoliths, with weak subsequent metasomatic overprint. In contrast, estimates of Fe³⁺ in garnet from peridotite xenoliths indicate an oxygen fugacity shift towards more oxidized conditions beneath the EDC linked to enrichment in melt-mobile elements (Ti, Zr) in the barren or weakly diamondiferous P1 and P3 kimberlites. The most depleted and reduced sample [ΔlogfO2 (FMQ) of -4.3; where FMQ corresponds to the fayalite-quartz-magnetite buffer] derives from diamondiferous kimberlite P7, suggesting oxidative melt metasomatism as a key control on the regional diamond inventory, although more data are needed. EDC eclogites and peridotites have estimated P-wave velocities of 8.46–8.63 km/s and 8.21–8.22 km/s, respectively, which are lower than present-day observed bulk P-wave velocities, and may point to lithological or thermal changes since Mesoproterozoic entrainment.

• High energy event post ∼1.1 Ka is recorded in the lacustrine sediments of Chilika. • Indian summer monsoon was high during the early Holocene. • CaCO 3 content and F2 values suggest the formation of barrier spit post ∼4 Ka. • High physical weathering dominated during ∼4 Ka arid period. Coastal lagoons, acting as a link between land and sea, serve as valuable archives for past climate variations, human activities, and paleo-cyclonic events. In this study, we employ a multi-proxy approach to analyze sedimentary records and uncover climatic shifts influenced by both monsoonal and non-monsoonal factors. Our analysis incorporates sediment characteristics such as grain size, magnetic susceptibility (MS), and clay mineralogy to infer high-energy conditions within the Chilika Lagoon. Additionally, we utilize Rock-Eval pyrolysis and deconvolution of flame ionization detector (FID) signals to determine the type of organic matter (OM) present. Findings reveal that during the Early Holocene, a high sand percentage and elevated MS indicate an intensified monsoon, coinciding with a dominance of terrestrial OM. However, as monsoonal intensity declined after the Early Holocene, marine OM became more prevalent, likely linked to the formation of an estuary around ∼7.7 Ka. Despite a weakening monsoon around ∼4 Ka, MS values remained high, possibly due to increased aeolian input, which transported titanomagnetite, contributing to elevated MS in the sediment record. After ∼4 Ka, the sedimentary record indicates a greater influx of terrestrial OM, likely due to the formation of a barrier spit that limited marine influence. From this period onward, monsoonal intensity gradually increased, peaking around ∼1.1 Ka, coinciding with the Medieval Warm Period. Following ∼1.1 Ka, sedimentation rates rose, accompanied by low magnetic susceptibility (MS) and high sand content. This phase also shows an increase in both terrestrial and marine OM, along with higher CaCO₃ and illite concentrations, suggesting the impact of high-energy events, possibly cyclones. The intensification of cyclonic activity after ∼1.1 Ka may be associated with a weakening of El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) intensity during this period.
