Geological surface processes (geomorphology); Stratigraphy

Geology of the Himalayan Belt: Deformation, Metamorphism, Stratigraphy presents sophisticated metamorphic and igneous rock data across various Himalayan geographic sectors, capturing their petrography, metamorphism, structure, mineralization, and regional tectonic research.

With an east-west extension of about 3000 kilometers and numerous 8000 meter peaks, the Himalayas are the most spectacular mountain ranges on earth. Since the 19th century, they have provided a testing ground of global importance for the development of geodynamic concepts, from isostasy over continental collision, to more recently, feedback mechanisms between tectonics and climate.

This book collects the broad range of data that’s been gathered on the Himalayas over the past 50 years, providing a comprehensive analysis and interpretation on the available data that brings the scientific community a better understanding of the geological diversity and structure of the Himalayan belt, along with new techniques that have applications in a host of global geological settings.

Reviews for Geology of the Himalayan Belt: Deformation, Metamorphism, Stratigraphy

"""The book is a welcome addition to a series of classics.…The author provides a synoptic view of the geological framework that highlights the key similarities and differences among the major rock sequences along and across the Himalayan strike constrained with recent geochronological data. The book would likely equip the students and the researchers to better comprehend the evolution of this complex orogen...."" --Prof. M Joshi"
