  • Petrography and Geochemistry of a Rare-Metal-Bearing Albite-Rich Pegmatite and Tourmaline Leucogranite from Bommireddipalli, Gadwal Schist Belt, India
    Amit D. Bhimte, M. N. Praveen, Bhagwan B. Ghute, Namrata Mahanta, Raymond A. Duraiswami
    Journal of the Geological Society of India, 2025
    The Gadwal schist belt (GSB) exposed in the Eastern Dharwar Craton (EDC) is a fascinating geological entity exposed as a linear, hook-shaped accretionary complex known for its gold mineralisation, particularly in the Guntipalli-Atkur area. It is composed of quartz-chlorite-sericite with minor actinolite schist as the lowermost units, followed upwards by an andesitic agglomerate. The greenstone sequence is intruded by dolerite dykes, granite-granodiorite plugs, pegmatite dykes, and quartz ± K-feldspar – hematite reefs. The pegmatites are predominantly located along the ENE-WSW and NW-SE shear zones. The albite-rich pegmatite dyke near Bommireddipalli intrudes into quartzchlorite-sericite schist and occurs as a sub-horizontal NW-SE trending sheet, 150 m long and 0.3 to 6 m thick. Mineralogically, the pegmatite is dominated by albite, quartz, muscovite, and tourmaline, with subordinate K-feldspar, rare beryl, garnet, and trace amounts of clinochlore, palygorskite, and fluorapatite. The Nb-Ta bearing mineral varies compositionally from ferrocolumbite to mangnocolumbite. The columbite occurs as fine disseminations, aggregates, and veinlets within the pegmatitic mineral assemblage. The Nb2O3 and Ta2O5 in the columbite vary from 57.89 to 71.36 wt% and 10.5 to 17.91 wt%, respectively. The columbite contains 0.1 to 4.76 wt% WO3, 0.28 to 12.22 wt% Fe2O3, 0.19 to 11.22 wt% MnO and 0.98 to 1.96 wt% TiO2. The total REE content of the albite-rich pegmatite varies from 22.66–129.5 ppm with LREE enrichment over HREE. The presence of columbite, associated with rare metal mineralisation of bismuthinite, molybdenite, apatite, garnet, and zircon, suggests that the area may have significant economic potential and warrants further exploration.

  • An Approach to Mapping Groundwater Recharge Potential Zones using Geospatial Techniques in Kayadhu River Basin, Maharashtra
    Bhagwan B. Ghute, Shaikh Md. Babar
    Indian Journal of Agricultural Research, 2021
    Rapid increase in population, agricultural expansion and ongoing development projects in the region. However, the region is facing water scarcity because of seasonal precipitation and inadequate surface water resources. Therefore, groundwater resources are gaining much more attention mainly in Kayadhu river basin to fulfil drinkable water requirements in the area. To maintain the long-term sustainability of water resources artificial recharge is expected to become frequently necessary in future as the growing population requires more water and consequently, more storage is required to conserve water for use in the times of shortage. Geospatial techniques are used in the field of hydrology and water resources management. One of the chief advantages of this techniques for hydrological investigation and observe its ability to generate data in spatial and temporal fields, which plays vital role for fruitful analysis, estimation and authentication. The suitable zones for artificial recharge were identified by overlaying thematic layers such as land use/land cover, lineament density, slope, drainage density, lithology, geomorphology, rainfall and soil characteristics are integrated with recharge potential factors. The result reveals that 79% area of Kayadhu river basin is most effective for high to moderate artificial recharge potential zone.
  • Quaternary Geology and Geomorphology of Terna River Basin in West Central India
    Mohammad Babar, Radhakrishna Chunchekar, Madhusudan G. Yadava, Bhagwan Ghute
    E and G Quaternary Science Journal, 2012
    Im vorgelegten Artikel werden die Morphostratigraphie, Lithostratigraphie sowie die Sedimentstrukturen des Terna Beckens in der Deccan Basaltic Province (DBP) im westlichen Zentralindien vorgestellt. Die Quartärablagerungen können in drei große Einheiten unterteilt werden (i) dunkelgraue Schluffablagerungen – Spätes Holozän, (ii) hellgraue Schluffablagerungen – Frühes Holozän, (iii) dunkelgrau-braune Schluffablagerungen – Spätpleistozän mit altquartären alluvialen Absätzen mit oberpleistozänen Altern. Die feinen tonig-schluffigen Ablagerungen im Unterlauf des Flusses deuten auf ruhige Ablagerungsbedingungen und einen sinusartigen Abfluss hin. Der Fluss zeigt Tendenzen zu abschwemmungsbedingten Gerinneverlagerungen, die wiederum durch vorhandene Bruchlinien gesteuert wurden. Entlang des Terna-Flusses konnten weiterhin Paläouferrücken in Form von 4–5 m hohen Rücken nachgewiesen werden, hier vor allem im Bereich der OrtschaftenTer, Killari, Sastur, Dhuta und Makni. Einige nachgewiesene Bruchlinien treten vor allem in NE-SE, NW-SE, E-W und WNW-ESE-Richtung auf und bestimmen die Struktur des Grundgebirges im Untersuchungsgebiet. Die TSI-Werte (Topographic Sinousity Index) verdeutlichen einen Erosionswechsel im Untersuchungsgebiet mit einer Verstärkung des topographischen Einflusses auf die Ausformung der Abflussbahnen. Die im Profil sichtbare Geländekante zeugt weiterhin von einer tektonischen Hebung des Gebietes im Quartär. Radiokohlenstoffdatierungen, die an einigen Holzkohlefragmenten durchgeführt wurden, die aus gefalteten Ablagerungen entnommen wurden, deuten darauf hin, dass eine seismische Aktivität in der Zeitspanne zwischen 120–1671 n. Chr. stattgefunden haben kann.
