Field trip in the Thar Desert

Original language description

The Thar Desert is a part of the arid zone of north-western India. The past geomorphic processes on its territory triggered by orogenesis and climate change generated a diversity of landforms, including structural (volcanic dykes, orogenic ridges, hamadas), denudational (pediplains, pediments, desert pave-ments), fluvial (alluvial terraces, gullies, gravelly plains of ancient palaeochannels), lacustrine and delta-ic, transgressive marine, aeolian (sand dunes) and anthropogenic (such as fields, rock mines and playas, salinas). Ongoing desertification, mass sediment transfer and ground salinization poses major threats to the local ecosystems and occupation habitats. These negative effects are responded to by new agricultural strategies contributing to the economic sustainability of the western Rajasthan.
