About the Book:
"Geological Evolution of the Northwestern India" explores the crustal growth along the northwestern margin of the Indian peninsular shield, which evolved through successive crust-building processes starting from the early Proterozoic era. This region's geological evolution holds significant importance, particularly due to its sedimentary depositional basins, hydrocarbon occurrences, and potential groundwater reservoirs.

The book comprises contributions from a galaxy of eminent scientists across various research organizations and universities, covering a wide spectrum of topics. Key subjects explored in the book include:

• Soil Science

• Hydrogeology

• Geomorphology

• Environment

• Desertification

• Mineral Resources

• Petroleum Geology

• Paleontology and Palaeobotany

It provides advanced and updated information, making it an essential reference for researchers, academicians, and students in fields such as Earth Science, Soil Science, Hydrogeology, and other related disciplines. The book will be especially valuable to those seeking a deeper understanding of the geological evolution and resources of the northwestern part of India.
