Mumbai, located on the western Indian continental margin, exposes Danian-age Deccan magmatic units of diverse compositions, dipping seaward due to the Panvel flexure. The Ghatkopar-Powai tholeiitic sequence contains seaward-dipping (thus pre-flexure) flows and subvertical (thus post-flexure) dykes. We present new 40Ar/39Ar ages of 62.4 ± 0.7 and 62.4 ± 0.3 Ma (2σ) on two flows, and 62.2 ± 0.3, 62.8 ± 0.3 and 61.8 ± 0.2 Ma on three dykes, showing that this sequence is much younger than the main 66-65 Ma Deccan sequence in the Western Ghats escarpment. The mutually indistinguishable ages of the Ghatkopar-Powai tholeiites overlap with available 40Ar/39Ar ages of 62.6 ± 0.6 and 62.9 ± 0.2 Ma for the seaward-dipping Dongri rhyolite

Envisioning Global LGBT Human Rights: (Neo)colonialism, Neoliberalism, Resistance and Hope
Caleb Orozco is an
LGBT/human rights advocate in Belize, and a health educator and activist with two decades of experience in the human development sector. He was a member of Envisioning's Caribbean research team. For the past seven years he has worked primarily within the field of HIV and human rights as executive director and founding member of the United Belize Advocacy Movement. Through legislative analysis, litigation and public education, he has worked tirelessly to advocate for a participatory and rights-based approach to health services for HIV-affected and marginalised populations, and for the eradication of discriminatory laws that affect these communities in the Caribbean.
