M-49. Late Quaternary Geology of India and Sea Level Changes

Abstract

Quaternary is the most recent geological period extending from 1.8 million years ago to the present and is marked by large-scale changes in climate with rapid oscillations in sea level. The volume contains selected papers dealing broadly with two categories - (1) Sea level Changes (2) Evolution of coastal land and brings out fascinating aspects of present and past sea level changes along the Indian coast, climatic variations, formation of placer mineral deposits, neotectonics and geomorphic evolution of much of the present coastal landscape of India.
