Quaternary Geomorphology in India

Exploring diverse geomorphological aspects, Quaternary Geomorphology in India presents empirical studies on the Lower Ganga Basin's unique landscape and methodologies.

This edited volume offers a unique collection of empirical studies focused on the Quaternary geomorphology of the Lower Ganga Basin. It delves into a variety of topics that explore the geomorphological characteristics of the Lower Ganga and its tributaries. Key subjects include laterites, palaeoenvironment and palaeogeomorphology, palaeo-coastal landforms, neo-tectonism, tidal-fluvial dynamics, and channel-pattern adjustments. The studies employ a diverse range of methodologies, from historical records and religious texts to advanced remote sensing and GIS techniques, providing a comprehensive overview of the region's geomorphological landscape.

Quaternary Geomorphology in India is designed to engage scientists and postgraduate students in geomorphology and related fields who seek to deepen their understanding of the geology and geomorphology of the Lower Ganga Basin. The book not only presents empirical findings but also encourages readers to explore new methodologies for examining the interactions between geomorphological forms and processes. This makes it an essential resource for those interested in the dynamic nature of the region.

Overall, this volume stands out as a significant contribution to the field, offering insights that are crucial for both academic research and practical applications in geomorphology. By presenting a range of studies that highlight the complexities of the Lower Ganga Basin, Quaternary Geomorphology in India serves as a valuable reference for understanding the intricate relationships between landforms and the processes that shape them.
