Description
The Structure of the Himalayas and of the Gangetic Plain: As Elucidated by Geodetic Observations in India by Richard Dixon Oldham (1858-1936) presents a scientific study of the region’s geology using precise geodetic measurements. Oldham, a noted British geologist and seismologist, analyzes tectonic formations, uplift patterns, and structural relationships between the Himalayas and the Gangetic plain. His work integrates observational data with geological theory, offering valuable insights into mountain-building processes. This study remains a significant early contribution to understanding India’s complex geological framework and seismic characteristics.
