This volume presents a study on the form, process and evolution of the Karstified coasts of Ritchie's Archipelago Havelock Island, Neil Island and Little Andaman of South Andaman District, India using geographical information systems and ground-based field work. Topics covered include physical settings, coastal geomorphology, habitats function, karstification’s, reef islands with carbonate sediment supply, antecedent karst morphology and future geomorphic responses of the carbonate group o...

This book discusses the perceptions and sketches, geological background, materials and coastal processes of the East Coast of India. It also suggests strategies for effectively managing natural coastal processes in these areas. India has a coastline of about 7,516 km with a variety of coastal extensions, which developed at different time scales, producing permanent variations in the morphologies of the coastal areas through hydrodynamic, fluvial, aeolian and terrestrial processes. The book...
