This field program explores the Quaternary geology of the Kachchh Basin, a region that records a dynamic history of climatic shifts, sea-level changes, and tectonic movements. The area hosts a variety of landforms; fluvial, coastal, and aeolian, that offer crucial insights into past environmental conditions. Participants will visit key geological features, including active fault zones, coastal terraces, and palaeotsunami deposits, to understand the interplay between tectonics and sedimentation. A central focus is the Harappan site of Dholavira, where the impact of environmental change on ancient civilizations will be seen.
