Zusammenfassung:This is the first publication of a comprehensive research-based text book on the Quaternary Geology of Bangladesh. This book is a major step forward to end the stalemate on the Quaternary Geology studies in Bangladesh. Prof. Monsur has carried out extensive field works on Quaternary sections in various parts of Bangladesh. His extensive field-based experience has been the key to his idea of writing this book. Quaternary is the latest period in the Geological Time Scale. It is the final episode in the earth's geological history covering only 2.5 million years. It has been subdivided in the two Epochs: Pleistocene and Holocene. The climatic change and human evolution are the striking characteristics of the Quaternary. Human evolution is the evolutionary process that led to the emergence of anatomically modern humans. The climatic deterioration is marked by repeated Glacial and Interglacial cycles which strongly influenced the mountains and their environment. Bangladesh covers the major part of the Bengal Basin, one of the largest deltas in the world. A thick sequence of Quaternary deposits is exposed that preserves the evidence of most recent geological history covering only 1.5 million years. Prof. Monsur started a new dimension in Quaternary research in Bangladesh. This book is composed of the basics, fundamentals and details of Quaternary geology of Bangladesh. It describes the concepts and development of the Quaternary geology, the basic geological framework, stratigraphic divisions and sedimentary succession of Bangladesh. It includes Quaternary geology and depositional history of different areas in Bangladesh such as Madhupur, Sylhet, Mymensingh, Panchagarh, Barind tract, and Chalanbill.
