BSIP Pusltponjali at Professor Birbal Salmi's S.amadhi. and Mahanadi Delta will be analysed for the flora and vegetational pattern. The tree-ring analysis will be continued from conifer samples growing in Uttarkashi District, western Himalaya for the palaeoclimate during the recent past. The archaeobotanical remains from Prc-Harappan and Maturc Harappan cultures at Hissar District, Haryana and Kudan will be studied. The aerospora of LUCkJl0W will be studied for its biochemical and clinical implications. The radiocarbon dating of Quaternary sediments of Gangetic plain, coastal and lake dcposits and archaeobotanical remains will be continued. Elemental analysis of fossil wood specimens and radiometric dating of trap material by '0Ar-" Ar will be taken up. The existing data bases will be updated for preparation of catalogues and monographs. The geobotanicaJ analysis will be continued for the mineral prospecting and reconstruction of history of modern vegetation through Cenozoic Era.
