英文摘要	Thar Desert and Ladakh are two prominent arid areas in the Indian Subcontinent, representing the hot and the cold arid regions, respectively. Landforms in Thar Desert have developed over a relatively stable platform, and bear strong impressions of several cycles of late Quaternary climate change between warm wet and dry cool phases, which dictated the spatiotemporal distribution of the fluvial and aeolian processes and the typical disposition of the landforms. By contrast, Ladakh, located in the Trans-Himalaya. is mountainous and dominated by glacial, periglacial and fluvial processes, with fewer signatures of lacustrine and aeolian processes. Since similar to 44 ka, the area witnessed two major and one minor phases of aridity. Evidence for neotectonic, though expected very much in this suture zone between the Indian and the Eurasian plates, is not very common, and need proper investigation. Presently anthropogenic activities tend to have over-bearing influences on the process acceleration and land degradation in both Thar Desert and Ladakh. Since warming-related changes in climate have also started to impact the areas, sustainable land uses, backed up by land conservation measures are called for.
