Journal of the Indian institute of architects :(JIIA)Summary: The myriad features fashioned out of bare rocks during India’s long
odyssey have fueled the imagination of humans for centuries, which has
assembled a historical record of a planet and trace events that occurred
long before humans roamed our planet. India, therefore, is abundant
in geological diversity, yet the sense of heritage that these magnificent
creations instil is bereft of a spotlight. Geo sites have immense potential
in educating the masses about earth processes, signatures of past
climatic changes and catastrophic events that occurred in the past. It
can help understand sustainable environmental management within a
developmental framework. Integrated with India’s cultural ecosystems,
geo sites would help reconnect with the dynamic past.
Therefore, this dissertation focuses on the Kachchh district of Gujarat,
known as a natural geological museum by earth scientists, which is one of
the best well-exposed on land records of Cenozoic life and climatic records
in India.
