Synopsis

Hardbound. During the past two decades the pace of geological work in the Himalayas has considerably increased. Of the different sectors, the Western Himalaya has been studied more extensively than the other parts. A fairly good amount of data on different aspects, viz. stratigraphy, sedimentology, geochemistry, geochronology and structure has been generated from different tectonic zones of Western Himalaya. This book compiles and synthesizes the post-1964 data of the Western Himalaya. The geology of Western Himalaya is described under a tectonic zone framework, and wherever necessary, different regions are discussed separately under each tectonic zone. A geological map of the Western Himalaya has been compiled on 1:1,000,000 scale.
