Memoirs
M-42. Vedic Sarasvati – Evolutionary History of a Lost River of Northwestern India
M-48. Palynology in Hydrocarbon Exploration (The Indian Scenario) Part I
The important role played by palynology in the exploration for hydrocarbons is clearly brought out in this latest Memoir of the Geological Society of India. The Memoir brings out high resolution biostratigraphy based on palynology of the Cambay, Bombay Offshore, Cauvery, Krishna-Godavari and Assam-Arakan sedimentary basins of the country.
This Memoir is of great utility to researchers and professionals engaged in petroleum exploration and sequence biostratigraphy.
M-49. Late Quaternary Geology of India and Sea Level Changes
M-51. Random Harvest: An Anthology of Editorials
This book is an Anthology of Editorials published in the Journal of the Geological Society of India during the first 45 years of its existence.
The 86 editorials compiled in this volume bring to life BPR's thoughts on the management of our water resources, prospects for gold mining industry in the country, priorities in earth science research, his vision for the future and myriad other topics that touched him to respond.
M-52. Milestones in Petrology and Future Perspectives
M-53. The Indian Continental Lithosphere: Emerging Research Trends
M-55. Rampura-Agucha Zinc-Lead Deposit
M-57. Progress of Coal Petrology in India
M-58. Geoscientific Writing: A Guide to Language and Composition Styles
The art of communication is a difficult art and has to be cultivated with deliberate effort by enlarging, defining and diversifying one's own personality. These guidelines to geoscientific writing are intended to help a large number of our young geoscientist's in developing the essential skills of effective and cogent communication. Elements of language and composition are dealt in detail from the point of requirements of earth scientists The appendices provide a quick cross-check possibility when in doubt about a particular expression, idiom or commonly misspelt word.
M-59. Geophysical Exploration for Coal: The Indian Scenario
Coal as a prime source of energy and by-product raw material, will continue to vital play a role in the economy of the country. Exploration Geophysics has been g an increasingly important role in the last three decades, in extending our resource base of coal and lignite, in locating new prospective areas and also in environmental and mining problems.
This Memoir is authored by the duo of an experienced geophysicist and academician, is intended to serve as a text at the post-graduate level in our Geoscience Departments and as a reference manual to professionals active in the field.
M-61. Palynology in Hydrocarbon Exploration (The Indian Scenario) Part II
This is a sequel to the first part of the volume devoted to the Palynostratigraphy of the Sedimentary Basins of India with proven hydrocarbon resources brought out earlier by the Society. This second part furnishes more important details on the spatial and temporal distribution of Spores, Pollen and Dinoflagellate cysts in the Mesozoic-Cenozoic sediments of the petroliferous basins of the country. The most valuable part of this effort is the 45 Range Charts in colour summarizing a large volume of high resolution biostratigraphic data on palynology including an appended bibliography of great utility. A concluding chapter deals with the evolution of angiosperms, plate tectonics and implications in hydrocarbon exploration.
These volumes are indispensable reference material to post-graduate students, researchers and professionals in Palaeontology, Petroleum Geology and Hydrocarbon Exploration.
M-63. Quaternary Geology: Indian Perspective
The Quaternary Period consisting of the two unequal epochs of Pleistocene and Holocene has not received the importance it deserves, until very recently. ????The lack of a suitable book on subject matter specially tailored to the Indian student and researcher has often been felt and this lacuna is intended to be rectified to a great extent by this present publication. Authored by an experienced professional geologist of the Geological Survey of India with wide experience in mapping the Quaternary Geology of Western India, particularly of Gujarat, this memoir would be most useful to post-graduate level students in Geology and allied branches, to researchers who would like delve deeper into problems of contemporary Quaternary studies and to professionals as an introductory text with examples drawn from the Indian context.
