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. Features comprehensive data gathered from decades of research on the Himalaya Includes numerous detailed case studies allowing readers to consider the data presented in more depth Describes the Precambrian tectonostratigraphic history of the Himalayan terrain INDICE: 1.
