Geological characteristics and its influences on the topography: A case study on santiniketan and its surroundings


World Heritage Site: Santiniketan

Publication Year: 2025

Publication Type: Article

Publication Identifier: WHE0EF86551B8

Summary

Santiniketan and its surroundings exhibit unique geological characteristics, such as red soil with ravine-like formations along the River Kopai, which significantly influence topographical features. The study reveals that regional geomorphology is shaped by underlying geological structures, demonstrated through Digital Elevation Models (DEM) and spatial integration of morphogenetic aspects. This relationship between geological conditions and topography provides critical insights for understanding landscape ecology in the region.
