“…Majid et al (1991) provide a petrographic account of such intrusions from the Malka area in lower Swat. These dykes are also reported from other regions including the ShewaShahbaz Garhi complex (Ahmed et al, 1990), Ambela granitic complex (Rafiq and Jan, 1988), Tarbela alkaline complex (Jan et al, 1981b), southern Hazara (Calkins et al, 1975), Attock-Cherat ranges (Yeats and Hussain, 1987), northern Hazara and Kashmir (Papritz and Rey, 1989) and Khyber agency (Shah et al, 1980). The Panjal traps from Kashmir, Spiti and Zanskar area from NW India have been investigated in terms of their detailed geochemistry, source characteristics and geochronology (Chauvet et al, 2008;Shellnutt et al, 2014).…”

The important textural features include average grain size of rock, grain boundary recrystallization, maximum grain size of major rock forming minerals, mean grain size of cleaved minerals, mineral exsolution and variation of grain size within a rock. The petrographic observations, however, are more effective to describe the strength variation of granites having analogous weathering grade as change in degree of weathering has a dominant effect on rock mechanics.

The Early Eocene Margalla Hill Limestone is well exposed in core of Hazara Kashmir Syntaxis. A section at Battlian is measured and sampled for paleontological studies, where its lower contact with Patala Formation and upper contact with Chorgali Formation is transitional and conformable. The total observed thickness is 73 meters and 60 samples were collected from bottom to top at different levels, 50 thin sections were studied. 19 species of larger forams including age

The 2005 earthquake in Pakistan engraved one of the worst natural hazards in the history of mankind. The mass destruction caused by nature in several parts of Azad Jammu Kashmir is revisited to assess the public impact. Several visits were paid to the most affected areas of the region, especially Muzaffarabad, to collect data on debris flow patterns, loss of vegetation, instability of the surface structure and buildings, impacts on social structure etc. Influences of pre-slide activities, both natural and man-made, on the pattern of landslides and triggering factors were investigated. The major landslide catastrophe that took place in Attabad in January 2010 was discussed as a case study. Attempts were made to correlate observations elsewhere with collected data, pertinent to 2005 earthquake in Pakistan with the objective of proposing safety guidelines to prevent or at least minimize such human catastrophes in the future, in the case of such an event.
