In 2006-07, net annual balance of the Chorabari Glacier was calculated negative (-) amounting to 4.54x106m3 of water equivalent (w. e.) with specific balance of (-) 0.77m. The ELA was marked at an altitude of 5055 m (5050 m in 2006). Annual mean mass balance of Dokriani and Chorabari Glaciers from 1992-93 to 1999-2000 was -2.25X196 m3 a-1 w. e. Substantial wasting by -2.5 to -3.0 m w.e. a-1 in the ablation area, compared to the mass gain by 0.45 to 0.55 m w.e. a-1 in the accumulation area was recorded

The existing seismological network in the Kangra–Chamba sector has been upgraded with 12 three-component digital seismometers which has been successful obtain new insight on the nature and sources of continued clustered seismicity. The minimum 1D velocity model derived through travel-time-distance plots and travel-time inversion of P and S phases divides the average 44 km thick crust into four layers.

Geological field, petrographic, and anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) studies help in understanding the evolutionary history of the Garhwal synform that lies in the western Outer Lesser Himalaya.

The first report of Proterozoic microfossils in the cherty dolomites of the Proterozoic Buxa Formation units of the Ranjit River stratigraphic section northwest of Rishi, Sikkim, India demonstrates that firm evidence of early life can be adduced from even a minuscule amount of fossil-bearing ancient rock.

The geomorphic units, fan terrace T3, a high-angle fan, terrace T2, terrace T1 and a low-angle fan at the exit of Brahmaputra River at Pasighat in the NE Himalaya inform about the climate tectonic interplay.
