内容説明・目次
内容説明
Research into the development of mountain reliefs in the Asian regions with evidence of active orogeny aims to gain knowledge of the geodynamically critical zones of the Earth's lithosphere as well as the physical properties and behaviour of near-surface parts of rock massifs. This present investigation in the Himalaya and Karakoram consists of the identification of the geomorphological record of the Late Cenozoic orogenic processes and the expression of their principles. Detailed regional geomorphological and Quaternary geological studies of selected areas as well as a general synthesis are provided. Coloured photographs are included.This book is suitable for specialists in the fields of geomorphology, physical geology, glaciology, geodynamics, geology, geophysics and readers interested in the High Asian mountain ranges.
