Studies on the Holocene, Palynological, Palaeobotanical and Palaeoenvironmental Aspects with Reference to Sites in Nagpur District, Maharashtra, India

Dr. Sharayu Sathe has over 15 years of research experience in Botany,Biodiversity and allied subjects. This book is a valuable source of data documenting the past and present work environment of Vidharba region. The present work accrues from its multidisciplinary approach and that it has attempted Palaeopalynological, Palaeoecological, Geological, Biochemical, Chronological correlation using processes based approach coupled with modern floristic study not simplistic interpretation of lithofacies alone. Recent advances in chronological methods like 14C dating and Magnetic susceptibility have been exploited to firmly establish regional chronologies. These efforts have placed interpretation and understanding of past environmental changes on a much stronger footing., which have enhanced investigation of forcing mechanisms, our ability of science to understand the future changes that are likely to impact our environment and concern people.
