Geology of the Himalaya

About this book

Geology of the Himalaya, Second Edition presents sophisticated, structural, metamorphic, and igneous rock data across various Himalayan geographic sectors, with a focus on Precambrian and Cenozoic tectonics and the tectonic evolution of the Himalayas that challenges traditional concepts and presents cutting-edge geological insights. This revised edition delves into the metamorphic and igneous rock data of the Himalayan geographic sectors, providing detailed analyses of petrography, metamorphism, structure, mineralization, and regional tectonic research. By incorporating recent geological inputs, the book justifies a paradigm shift in our understanding of Himalayan orogeny, offering a fresh perspective on the region's geological evolution.Readers will better understand the geological diversity and structure of the Himalayan belt, along with new techniques that have applications in a host of global geological settings. In addition, users will learn about the geological diversity and structure of the Himalayan belt and new techniques that have broad applications in global geological settings. - Features a vast amount of geological research data collected in the Himalayas over the past 50 years - Presents analysis and interpretation techniques to aid scientists in conducting fieldwork and research - Provides the latest information on geodynamic concepts, from isostasy over continental collision to feedback mechanisms between tectonics and climate - Focuses on Precambrian and Cenozoic tectonics and the holistic tectonic evolution of the Himalayas, offering new insights and perspectives that challenge existing paradigms - Authored by a recognized global expert on the geology of the Himalayan belt with decades of experience
