Copyright © ActionAid 2008 Research conducted in 2007 Report published in 2008 Designed and Printed by: New Concept Information Systems Pvt. Ltd. Email: [email protected] Foreword Even after six decades of national reconstruction process by way of agricultural, industrial, mineral, infrastructural and other related developments, India still suffers from low level of development and poor quality of life of its population. Incidence of poverty, malnutrition, morbidity and mortality, and non-literacy are still high among them. Much of these are attributed to slow and low pace of development, and rapid and accelerated pace is seen as a way out. It is however, doubtful if development as has been pursued in the last sixty years of independent India, offers the solution. If it did, tribal India would have been much better placed today than it had been in the past. After all, much of the development projects that India has witnessed in post-independent era have taken place in tribal regions, especially in regions adjoining the States of Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Orissa. -

Geosciences Research in East Antarctica (088888E–6088888E): Present Status and Future Perspectives
Downloaded from http://sp.lyellcollection.org/ by guest on October 1, 2021 Geosciences research in East Antarctica (088888E–6088888E): present status and future perspectives M. SATISH-KUMAR1, T. HOKADA2, T. KAWAKAMI3 & DANIEL J. DUNKLEY2 1Institute of Geosciences, Shizuoka University, Oya 836, Suruga-ku, Shizuoka 422-8529, Japan (e-mail: [email protected]) 2National Institute of Polar Research, Kaga, Itabashi-ku, Tokyo 173-8515, Japan 3Department of Geology and Mineralogy, Kyoto University, Kitashirakawa-oiwake-cho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto 606-8502, Japan Abstract: In both palaeoenvironmental and palaeogeographical studies, Antarctica plays a unique role in our understanding of the history of the Earth. It has maintained a unique geographical position at the South Pole for long periods. As the only unpopulated continent, the absence of political barriers or short-term economic interests has allowed international collaborative science to flour- ish. Although 98% of its area is covered by ice, the coastal Antarctic region is one of the well- studied regions in the world. The integrity and success of geological studies lies in the fact that exposed outcrops are well preserved in the low-latitude climate. The continuing programme of the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition focuses on the geology of East Antarctica, especially in the Dronning Maud Land and Enderby Land regions. Enderby Land preserves some of the oldest Archaean rocks on Earth, and the Mesoproterozoic to Palaeozoic history of Dronning Maud Land is extremely important in understanding the formation and dispersion of Rodinia and subsequent assembly of Gondwana. The geological features in this region have great signifi- cance in defining the temporal and spatial extension of orogenic belts formed by the collision of proto-continents. -
