Holocene Climate Change and Environment presents detailed, diverse case studies from a range of environmental and geological regions on the Indian subcontinent which occupies the central part of the monsoon domain. This book examines Holocene events at different time intervals based on a new, high-resolution, multi-proxy records (pollen, spores, NPP, diatoms, grain size characteristics, total organic carbon, carbon/nitrogen ratio, stable isotopes) and other physical tools from all regions of India. It also covers new facilities in chronological study and luminescence dating, which have added a new dimension toward understanding the Holocene glacial retreats evolution of coastal landforms, landscape dynamics and human evolution.

Each chapter is presented with a unified structure for ease of access and application, including an introduction, geographic details, field work and sampling techniques, methods, results and discussion. This detailed examination of such an important region provides key insights in climate modeling and global prediction systems.

Kumaran, Navnith: - Dr. Navnith Kumaran is a former Emeritus Scientist of the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research, New Delhi and a retired Senior Scientist of Agharkar Research Institute. He also served at the University of Calabar, Nigeria as a senior faculty member in the department of Biological Sciences and Faculty Associate in Geology. He has contributed immensely to palynology, vegetation dynamics, and climate change over the past 40 years. His current focus of work on Late Quaternary using modern analogues has immense potential to reconstruct long and comprehensive palaeoenvironmental and climate records and to provide a stronger basis for developing strategies for sustainable management of key environmental processes and their interaction with human activities. He edited a special volume (325) of Quaternary International dealing with Holocene Palynology and Palaeoclimate.

Padmalal, Damodaran: - Dr.Padmalal Damodaran Padmalal is a Senior Scientist in the National Centre for Earth Science Studies (NCESS) under the Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India. His research interests are Quaternary geology, Palaeoclimate and Environmental Geology. He has published many research papers in international and national peer reviewed journals and edited volumes. He is the author of several books and co-edited a special issue of the Journal of Geological Society of India on "Western Ghats- Evolution and Environmental Issues" (Volume 92; 2018). He has received the INSA- DFG Exchange of Scientists Fellowship in the year 2004, Rajiv Gandhi Excellence Award (2011)instituted by India International Friendship Society (New Delhi) and Certificate of Merit (2014) of the Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India.
