193:. His laboratory at PRL established thermoluminescence dating in India. Using luminescence spectroscopy of natural minerals in sand sediments, his group has dated various minerals across hot and cold deserts, including quartz, feldspar, gypsum, soil carbonates, carbonates, archeological sediments, glacial ice, geological faults and earthquakes, and meteorites. These studies have provided insights into
