Geomorphotectonics of the Kathiawar (Saurashtra)- Kutchch outlier: A spatial statistical approach

The present work explores the geomorphotectonics of the Kathiawar (Saurashtra)-Kutchch Outlier in Gujarat, India north of the SONATA lineament. Using spatial statistics, the author explores intricate links between spatially resolved data, reveal patterns and correlations that drive the region's geological history. The work addresses an underlying issue, i.e., that of finding the spatial position of entities under study, which is a central issue in spatial analysis. The methodology combines several spatial analytic methods in order to derive a detailed representation of the geomorphotectonics of the area. Results of this study would make an important contribution to the ongoing task of understanding the geological history of the Kathiawar (Saurashtra)-Kutchch Outlier, providing insight to the complex processes that have created this peculiar geological unit.
