A Textbook Of Geology By P K Mukherjee Pdf To Excel
Abstract 1 In the Bengal Basin, the land surface exposed during the last lowstand of sea level around 20 ka, and now buried by Holocene sediment, is capped by an effectively impermeable clay paleosol that we term the Last Glacial Maximum paleosol (LGMP). The paleosol strongly affects groundwater flow and controls the location of arsenic pollution in the shallow aquifers of our study site in southern West Bengal and, by implication, in shallow aquifers across the Bengal Basin and As-polluted deltaic aquifers worldwide. The presence of the LGMP defines paleointerfluvial areas; it is absent from paleochannel areas. A paleosol model of pollution proposed here predicts that groundwater in paleochannels is polluted by arsenic, while that beneath paleointerfluvial areas is not: paleointerfluvial aquifers are unpolluted because they are protected by the LGMP from downward migration of arsenic and from downward migration of organic matter that drives As-pollution via reductive dissolution of As-bearing iron oxyhydroxides.
For Objective Geology and a good overview K.M Bangar and Earth science book by Amal Dasgupta are the ones you must have. These books are all available easily, either hardcopy or Pdf. Hope it helps:) Thank you for A2A. Geology.doc - Geology Geology: An Introduction - Kronaris and Krambine Text Book of Geology - P.

Horizontal groundwater flow carries arsenic from paleochannels toward paleointerfluvial aquifers, in which sorption of arsenic minimizes the risk of pollution.

Bhai mai petroleum engineering me B.Tech kiya hoon so geology ka whole syllabus padha hoon aur its almost matching with geography but only problem is diagram. We need to make a lot of fig to score very good marks if u r okay in that then u can switch and complete syllabus once in 3 month only. Yup man, the syllabus matches geo, that's the sole reason for such possible shift. Not an issue as such, nor technicalities. Only issue was lack of coaching, hence ample study material. Also i guess it doesn;t get butchered like geo or pa.
Try to cover Mukherjee first. If you survive after 2-3 readings, then you are good to proceed. The book has been a standard reference since the days of my father state public commission Rank1 and an IAS. He referred it 30 years ago and still asked me to check it out first. It can be complicated and daunting.
But it gives you a good idea of the core of geology and if you are comfortable with the subject, you are good to proceed. As for notes, i got the sample copy from EvolutionIAS. I had gone through the books once. Evolution just copy pasted the stuff from the books. Good for a overview.
Topic-wise Breakup: Paper 1 1. General Geology: Easy and Simple.
Geomorphology and Remote Sensing: Simple with some technical stuff 3. Structural Geology: Start of technical stuff and jargons, G.
mein D. 4. Paleontology: Doable but many terms to memorize 5. Indian Stratigraphy: G. mein D.
You need to understand paleontology thoroughly to understand this. Hydrogeology and Engineering Geology: Easy but need to understand Paper 2: 1. Mineralogy: You need to understand physics and geometry to understand this topic. Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology: Jargon and technical. Android themes for samsung corby gt s3653 free download. Need to understand timeline.
Sedimentary Petrology: Same as above. Economic Geology: Easy and straightforward 5. Mining Geology: Easy and straightforward 6. Geochemistry and Environmental Geology: Technical but easy. Mostly GK This is my opinion of the topics for upsc cse. Few things i found helped: 1.
Keep the atlas when reading. The place and the rock structures/orogeny/epirogeny/drainage patterns/weathering makes sense. Pay close attention to the breakup and formation of continents. It makes it easier to understand the environmental changes in the place. Memorize the geological timeline. Go down to the core.
In geography is you know the 4 basic periods, its enough. But you need to know the subsections in geology. For example: Haden Era to Archen Era: You need to know by the names that there was only igneous rocks. Main elements were silica, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen.: Jurassic Era: Pangea splits, Dinosaurs die. So this is period for the formation of the sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. If you have a university or a geology teacher you know, go and see the rocks. They will have a collection.
My grandfather was a member of the geological society of India. So he used to explain the rocks to me and i got bored when i was young. Now it makes sense to see how a feldspar looks like, how granite is composed of, what makes gypsum so smooth. Youtube, Youtube and youtube.
Channels like Worldethq is excellent for crystollography, earthquakes and ore deposits. Cathina L Gunn de Rosas DFW :x her voice is a PHD graduate who has explained structural geology basics well. Various Pdfs from many universities. This is the opinion I would give to anyone choosing geology as their optional.
I also do not have a geology background. But it is very interesting when you travel to a place or see a piece of rock and tell the history of it. Or how minerals are prospected. I was so scared of the ACF and AFK diagrams. But when i went through them, it felt like a whole new world to me.
The whole idea of mineral prospecting, determining the geohistory of the location made alot of sense. Hope this helps. Being a geologist, I can only advise that u need atleast 8 months for mastering this subject. I gave mains this time but could not qualify.have qualified upsc GSI exam earlier which is more tougher dan civils. Writing a geography answer n geology answer in even topics like geomorphology is totally diffrnt.
U need to have a technical insight while writing answrs.it seems this time upsc has been hellbent on moderation in science optionals. 3 of us gave mains.nobody qualified.
I had 450 correct attempt. I m thinking about changing optional to geography.please advise. The booklist seems too scary. Sir, may u please reduce it, without affecting quality of preparation significantly. If its possible to source out sufficent material and 6 months.5hr preparation enough to give a decent fight at mains (portion common to geo excluded) am in. Do provide your valuable and relevant suggestion/ input. Only Ravindra Kumar is enough for Indian Stratigraphy.Hydrology can be done from Bangar only.Hydrology is an easy topic but sometimes UPSC asks peculiar questions.Any one book for mineralogy, Igneous & Metamorphic Petrology and sedimentology from my list.
Brilliant material is must. List may be long but none of these books is massive in size. Read Mukerjee and Bangar first.Youtube videos are very useful. Except Geomorphology and Physical Geology, Geography and Geology don't have much in common.But it can be done in six months. Try to cover Mukherjee first.
