Origin of lower cretaceous quartzose arenites in northern India and the Indus Basins of Pakistan—The result of provenance composition, weathering or diagenesis? (2022)
Journal Article
Beaumont, H., Burley, S. D., Breitfeld, T., Gould, T., & Clarke, S. M. (2023). Origin of lower cretaceous quartzose arenites in northern India and the Indus Basins of Pakistan—The result of provenance composition, weathering or diagenesis?. Basin Research, 35(1), 413-438. https://doi.org/10.1111/bre.12717

Lower Cretaceous (Aptian-Albian) sandstones of the Ghaggar-Hakra Formation in the Barmer Basin of northwest Rajasthan, India, have a complex depositional history which is confusing given they are quartzose arenites. The heavy mineral grains are very...

Provenance and origin of Lower Cretaceous quartz arenites from the northern Indian Plate: Tropical weathering or a multi-cycled sediment source? (2020)
Presentation / Conference
Beaumont, H., Burley, S., & Gould, T. (2020, December). Provenance and origin of Lower Cretaceous quartz arenites from the northern Indian Plate: Tropical weathering or a multi-cycled sediment source?. Presented at British Sedimentological Research Group AGM, Virtual

Lower Cretaceous sediments of the north-western Indian Plate margin deposited in the Barmer, Cambay, Narmada, Kachchh and Jaisalmer basins of the West Indian Rift System (WIRS) and in the Lower and Middle Indus Basins (LMIB) are dominated by mineralo...

Is it possible to work out the lateral migration of preserved fluvial system through outcrop? (2019)
Presentation / Conference
Beaumont, H. (2019, December). Is it possible to work out the lateral migration of preserved fluvial system through outcrop?. Poster presented at British Sedimentological Research Group, University of Royal Holloway London

While channel migration has been the subject of many studies e.g. Bristow 1987, Best et al., 1993; Nardin et al., 2013; where migration has either been considered at a macro-scale with timeslices on seismic data or at a micro- scale on one or two mea...

Presentation / Conference
Beaumont, H., Burley, S., Gould, T., & Clarke, S. (2018, December). Provenance of lower cretaceous quartz arenites from the northern Indian Plate: Tropical weathering or a multi-cycled sediment source?. Poster presented at British Sedimentological Research Group, AGM, Edinburgh, Scotland

Introduction. Lower Cretaceous sediments of the northwestern Indian Plate margin were deposited in the Barmer, Cambay, Narmada, Kachchh and Jaisalmer basins (Figure 1) of the West Indian Rift System (WIRS) and the Lower and Middle Indus Basins (LMIB...

Sedimentology and the facies architecture of the Ghaggar-Hakra Formation, Barmer Basin, India: Implications for early Cretaceous deposition on the north-western Indian Plate margin (2018)
Journal Article
Beaumont, H., Clarke, S. M., Burley, S. D., Taylor, A. M., & Mohapatra, P. (2019). Sedimentology and the facies architecture of the Ghaggar-Hakra Formation, Barmer Basin, India: Implications for early Cretaceous deposition on the north-western Indian Plate margin. Depositional Record, 5(1), 53-83. https://doi.org/10.1002/dep2.53

Fluvial strata of the Lower Cretaceous Ghaggar-Hakra Formation are exposed in fault blocks on the central-eastern margin of the Barmer Basin, Rajasthan. The sedimentology of these outcrops are described from 114 logs (thicknesses up to 100m) and 53 t...

Deciphering tectonic controls on fluvial sedimentation within the Barmer Basin, India: The lower cretaceous Ghaggar-Hakra formation (2015)
Journal Article
Beaumont, H., Clarke, S., Burley, S., Taylor, A., Gould, T., & Mohapatra, P. (2015). Deciphering tectonic controls on fluvial sedimentation within the Barmer Basin, India: The lower cretaceous Ghaggar-Hakra formation

The Cretaceous of NW India is poorly known from sparse outcrops in Rajasthan and Gujarat. Here, we describe the stratigraphy and sedimentology of outcrops of the Ghaggar-Hakra Formation of probable Lower Cretaceous age from the Sarnoo Hills, eastern...

Geology and regional significance of the Sarnoo Hills, eastern rift margin of the Barmer Basin, NW India (2015)
Journal Article
Bladon, A. J., Burley, S. D., Clarke, S. M., & Beaumont, H. (2015). Geology and regional significance of the Sarnoo Hills, eastern rift margin of the Barmer Basin, NW India. Basin Research, 27(5), 636-655. https://doi.org/10.1111/bre.12093

The Barmer Basin is a poorly understood rift basin in Rajasthan, northwest India. Exposures in the Sarnoo Hills, situated along the central eastern rift margin of the Barmer Basin, reveal a sedimentary succession that accumulated prior to the main Ba...
