Geotourism Potential of Quaternary Colluvio-Aeolian Deposits and Unique Parabolic Dunes Landscape in Central Thar Desert of India: Insights Into Geoheritage Sites Depicting Climatic Oscillations. 330 $aIndia is blessed with great geological diversity as it has recorded more than 3.5 billion year?s history of evolution of Earth, some of the sites/sections are unique to the globe. The recent discovery of youngest ?Meghalayan age? from a limestone cave of Meghalaya is internationally recognised. The Indian rock record bears the signatures of various global geological events including evolution of life, mass extinction, making of Himalaya, meteoritic impact craters etc. Indian dinosaur 'Rajasaurus' created curiosity in the children. Interestingly, large number of geoheritage sites are associated with well-known cultural heritage sites and biodiversity hotspots. However, proper scientific details of geoheritage sites and their potential to develop as a geotourism hotspot has not been discussed. Geotourism potential of India in extensive but so far it has not attracted attention of authorities and agencies of the Tourism sector. The present book provides a platform for them to plan and explore. Development of geotourism will lead to conservation of geoheritage sites and both financial and scientific aspects will be covered. 410 0$aSociety of Earth Scientists Series,$x2194-9212 606 $aGeology 606 $aGeomorphology 606 $aCultural property$xProtection 606 $aHistoric preservation 606 $aGeology 606 $aGeomorphology 606 $aConservation and Preservation 615 0$aGeology. 615 0$aGeomorphology. 615 0$aCultural property$xProtection. 615 0$aHistoric preservation. 615 14$aGeology. 615 24$aGeomorphology. 615 24$aConservation and Preservation. 676 $a551 700 $aTripathi$b Satish C$01828699 701 $aPant$b Naresh Chandra$01828700 701 $aRajora$b Sameeta$01828701 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911010528003321 996 $aGeoconservation and Geotourism Potential of India$94397616 997 $aUNINA
