Plate tectonic collision, climate oscillation, glacial fluctuation,
severe wind and water erosion - all have wrought dramatic change on
the landscape of the Western Himalaya, one of the most dynamic and
spectacular landscapes on Earth. Study of the region - from the
Western Himalaya foothills and lowlands to the Arabian Sea - is of
particular value to geology and geomorphology because of the size
and frequency of events. That much of South Asia is relatively
inaccessible has enhanced the significance of research in Pakistan
and adjacent areas. "Himalaya to the Sea" focuses on the general
evolution of landforms in Pakistan but is also a guide for
predictive, protective and remedial measures to mitigate the
natural hazards which plague the region and constrain development.
The authors describe regional erosion and sedimentation within the
context of topographical evolution; more specifically, they deal
with neotectonics, past and present glaciation, general mountain
geomorphology and process mechanics, past and present fluvial
processes and landforms, wind blown deposits, age dates, soils,
marine terraces and archaeology.
