Produktbeschreibung

Precambrian Geotectonics in the Himalaya provides an overview on general geology and tectonics of all the Precambrian domains of the Himalayan terrain. Authored by an expert with over five decades of laboratory, field and publication experience, the book studies the "Window¿ zones to provide a scope for understanding Precambrian deformation effects. The book fills a gap in literature, specifically covering the Precambrian geotectonic picture of the terrain. Considering Precambrian regional events are not clearly recognized or visualized in many sectors due to overlapping crystallines, this book details a Precambrian geotectonic framework of the terrain on which the Himalayan event evolved.

This book is a necessary reference guide for Earth scientists, exploration and hazard management scientists, professors, students and anyone who carries out research that requires a comprehensive picture of the Precambrian Himalaya and the adjacent peninsula.

• Features comprehensive data gathered from decades of research on the Himalaya
• Includes numerous detailed case studies that allow readers to comprehensively consider the data presented
• Describes the Precambrian tectonostratigraphic history of the Himalayan terrain

Autorenporträt

Dr. Chakrabarti served as the Director of the Geological Survey of India (GSI) for over thirty-five years and retired in 2003. Before joining GSI in 1968, he carried out work in the peninsular Precambrians as a research fellow in Presidency college, Kolkata where his field work started with the Himachal Himalaya and continued as research on deformation and metamorphism in the Himalaya in the Central Petrological Laboratories. Dr. Chakrabarti has published over 40 articles, two books and has edited 7 major publications and several journal issues. He served as editor-in-chief of the previously named journal 'Indian Minerals' for many years and was one of the editors of the M.S. Krishnan Centenary Volume on Precambrian geology of India (GSI).
