Overview
The Cauvery Basin is one of the most widely known and geologically important basins of India, and it has been for decades, and still is, the focus of study for both national and international researchers. This book is an up-to-date multidisciplinary collection of studies addressing various aspects of the Cauvery Basin from topics on stratigraphy, sedimentation, and climatic oscillations to structure, tectonics, and a hydrocarbon perspective, to paleoecology, paleobiogeography, and paleobiota. This comprehensive synthesis with recent studies and data will immensely help postgraduate students, researchers, and industry professionals interested in the geology of the Cauvery Basin. Features Offers a complete panorama of the geology of the Cauvery Basin, the first book of its kind. Provides a multidisciplinary approach to the Cretaceous–Paleogene geology of the Cauvery Basin. Emphasizes the structure, tectonics, and hydrocarbon perspective of the Cretaceous–Paleogene deposits of the Cauvery Basin. Includes comprehensive information on the stratigraphy, sedimentation history, and paleoclimatic conditions of the Cretaceous sequence of the Cauvery Basin. Introduces advanced knowledge of the paleobiogeography and biotic assemblage or flora and fauna of the Cretaceous–Paleogene succession of the Cauvery Basin. Is useful as a field guide with an up-to-date bibliography of the Cretaceous rocks of the Cauvery Basin. This book serves as an insightful reference for academics, undergraduate students, and research professionals involved in geology, earth sciences, and envrionmental sciences.
