![The structure of the Himalayas and of the Gangetic plain: As elucidated by geodetic observations in India [Hardcover]](https://thebookishowl.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/71K3sGLoLdL-1.jpg)
Description
Richard Dixon Oldham’s comprehensive study presents a detailed analysis of the structural geology of the Himalayas and the Gangetic plain based on extensive geodetic observations conducted throughout India. This hardcover edition, published by Gyan Publishing House, represents a significant contribution to geological science and our understanding of Asian geomorphology.
The work employs precise geodetic measurements and observations to elucidate the complex structural relationships between the mountain range and the adjacent plain. Oldham’s systematic approach provides valuable insights into the tectonic forces that shaped these major geographical features, including the processes of uplift, subsidence, and lateral displacement that characterize the region.
This authoritative text serves as a crucial reference for geologists, earth scientists, and scholars interested in Himalayan geology, tectonic structures, and the geological evolution of the Indian subcontinent. The detailed geodetic data and interpretations remain relevant to contemporary geological research and understanding of mountain-building processes.
