Overview

Precambrian Geotectonics in the Himalaya provides a deep overview on general geology and tectonics of all the Precambrian domains of the Himalayan terrain. Authored by an expert with over five decades of involvement with the Precambrian of the Himalaya and many years of laboratory, field, and publication experience, the book studies the “Window” zones in detail to provide a scope for understanding Precambrian deformation effects. The book fills a gap in literature on Himalayan geology, specifically covering the Precambrian geotectonic picture of the terrain. Considering Precambrian regional events are not clearly recognised or visualised in many sectors due to overlapping crystallines, this book details a Precambrian geotectonic framework of the terrain on which the Himalayan event evolved.Precambrian Geotectonics in the Himalaya is a necessary reference for Earth scientists, exploration and hazard management scientists, professors (and students) who carry out research what requires a comprehensive picture of the Precambrian Himalaya and in totality with the adjacent peninsula.

Reviews

"""The book deals with several controversial aspects, and analyses and gives pragmatic solutions. Despite scarce and scattered data on the Precambrian tectonics, an attempt has been made to stitch these together to draw a cohesive picture.... The book will help unlearning of old bias and look for paths untrodden. Must for young enthusiastic workers whose ideas have still not frozen."" --Journal of the Geological Society of India"

Author Information

Dr. Chakrabarti served as the Director of the Geological Survey of India (GSI) for over thirty-five years and retired in 2003. Before joining GSI in 1968, he carried out work in the peninsular Precambrians as a research fellow in Presidency college, Kolkata where his field work started with the Himachal Himalaya and continued as research on deformation and metamorphism in the Himalaya in the Central Petrological Laboratories. Dr. Chakrabarti has published over 40 articles, two books and has edited 7 major publications and several journal issues. He served as editor-in-chief of the previously named journal ‘Indian Minerals’ for many years and was one of the editors of the M.S. Krishnan Centenary Volume on Precambrian geology of India (GSI).
