商品描述

This book provides insights on new geological, tectonic, and climatic developments in India through a time progression from the Archean to the Anthropocene that are captured via authoritative entries from experts in earth sciences. This volume aims to bring graduate students and researchers up to date on the geodynamic evolution of the Indian Plate; concepts that have so far resulted in a rather uneven treatment of the subject at different institutions.

The book is divided into 4 sections and includes perspectives such as the formation and evolution of the Indian crust in comparison to its neighbors such as Antarctica, Africa and Australia; the evolution of Precambrian cratons and sedimentary basins of India; and a summary account of early life reported in the Indian stratigraphic record. Readers will also discover the key recent research into the neotectonics, tectonic geomorphology, and paleoseismology of the Himalayan Front. Researchers and students in geology, earth sciences, sedimentology, paleobiology and geography will find this book appealing.

 

 

 

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書提供了有關印度在地質、構造和氣候方面的新發展的見解，通過從太古代到人類世的時間進程，這些見解由地球科學領域的專家權威條目所捕捉。本書旨在使研究生和研究人員了解印度板塊的地動力演化；這些概念迄今為止在不同機構對該主題的處理相對不均。

本書分為四個部分，包含了多個觀點，例如印度地殼的形成和演化，與其鄰近地區如南極洲、非洲和澳大利亞的比較；印度前寒武紀克拉通和沉積盆地的演化；以及印度地層記錄中早期生命的總結報告。讀者還將發現有關喜馬拉雅前緣的新構造學、構造地貌學和古地震學的關鍵最新研究。地質學、地球科學、沉積學、古生物學和地理學的研究人員和學生將會對這本書感興趣。

作者簡介

Dr. S.K. Tandon is a fellow of the Indian National Science Academy and Professor at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, India and IISER Bhopal, India. He was a full Professor at the University of Delhi and the Pro-Vice Chancellor of the University of Delhi. He has published over 100 research papers in geology, sedimentology, climatology and geomorphology.
Dr. Neal Gupta is a researcher and is currently developing an IT-Education and research business called CEdR/academic in Boston, MA that leverages current I/T for educators, scientists and in specific service areas. Formerly, he was a research scientist and adjunct professor in the Department of Science and Technology at Bryant University where he worked in the areas of organic geochemistry, geobiology, and molecular archaeology. He has worked on the biomolecular transformation of organisms such as arthropods and leaves and the geochemistry of plant and arthropod fossils in an attempt to understand the fate of biopolymers such as chitin, lignin, cutin and proteins in modern organisms and their contribution to sedimentary organic matter that has led to several research papers in peer reviewed journals.
