The field trip explores the Late Quaternary sedimentation patterns in the Alaknanda Valley to understand climate-tectonic interactions. This region is sensitive to tectonic forces and climatic variability, which have significantly influenced river aggradation and incision processes. The trip aims to examine geological features that reflect these dynamics, including terraces and paleoflood records, providing insights into past hydrological events and landscape formations shaped by extreme weather patterns and tectonic activities.
