(Formerly Director, Geological Survey of India (GSI), India) Publisher: Elsevier USA ISBN: 9780323917308 Cover: PAPERBACK Date: 2023年06月 DESCRIPTION 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.
