Drainage Basin Dynamics
This volume provides a versatile introduction to the study of drainage basin evolution, morphology, drainage basin hydrology and sedimentology, human interference, natural and anthropogenic hazards and various management techniques. This book offers the responsible factors of sediment yield and their absolute and specific growth and rate of delivery through tributaries to the main streams. Rivers are important geomorphic agents which reflect an amazing variety of form and behaviour, showing the wide range of natural environment in which they are originated. The drainage system evolution and spatial network development within the dynamic nature are being discussed and how they are adjusted in the geomorphic time scale over the millions of years. This book shows how drainage systems function and react to change and why this thoughtful is required for flourishing integrated basin management. In tropical and sub-tropical countries population pressures as well as different developmental projects are being executed on the drainage basin without proper planning. Today scientists consider drainage basin as an administrative unit during implementation of regional projects. In this context this book will carry a bench mark for scholars and young scientists.
Key Aspects of Himalayan Geology
This book serves as a ready reference book for anyone who is interested in the Himalayan geology and apprises the readers with the latest findings. The Himalayan syntaxes compose about one-third of the India-Asia collision zone and encompass a substantial part of the crustal deformation that occurs within the system. The Darjeeling Sikkim Himalaya (DSH) marks the beginning of the Eastern Himalaya, which is the most active orogenic zone, coupled with variable seismicity. It is located between Bhutan to the east and Nepal to the west. In the west, Sikkim shares Kanchenjunga, Earth's third highest mountain, with Nepal, while the ridge line forming Sikkim's eastern border flanks the Yadong-Gulu rift graben. DSH, craved by the river system of Tista, is a large geodynamic laboratory of nature where orogen is still in youth to early mature phases of evolution. Giant-scale endogenous turmoil thoroughly overhauled terrain mostly within the confines of distinct belts or divisions and spectacularly uplifted the terrain in superlative terms. Resting on the foundation of structure, tectonics, geomorphology, stratigraphy, and evolution, the wings of geology extend much further. Several books, mostly having regional approaches of different scales, have been written on the Himalayan geology with specified intentions. Geological Aspects of the DSH is based on more than direct references and succinctly opens a gateway to variable aspects of mineral study, active tectonics, crustal deformation, tectono-stratigraphy, seismicity, sedimentary geology, palaeontology, landslides, and tectonic geomorphology. The book apprises the readers with the latest findings. The book is addressed to university students for their academic needs and to those who are willing to work in Himalayan terrain. The large number of topics covered in this book is hardly available in any other single book so far. Anyone interested in the geology of the Himalaya might use the book as a quick reference. Different Dimensions of Geology and Geomorphology are described in nine key chapters.
