Research Interests: Exploration of marine gas hydrates Imaging sub-volcanic sediments (onshore & offshore) Evolution of sedimentary basins Geotectonic implications of Indian provinces Understanding earthquake processes in plate interior Delineation of Plate geometry in subduction zone Inversion, modeling & processing of seismic data Advanced interpretation of 3D seismic data 8. Major Scientific Contributions Established Gas Hydrate Research Center at CSIR-NGRI with world-class facilities for traveltime tomography, AVO modelling, 1D & 2D full-waveform tomography, impedance inversion, pre-stack depth migration, seismic attenuation, artificial intelligence and rock physics modeling. This also includes establishment of laboratory facilities for characterization and understanding the formation and dissociation kinetics of gas-hydrates. Led scientific cruises in 2007, 2010 and 2017 for (i) heat flow experiments off Goa and Cochin, (ii) investigation of gas-hydrates in Krishna-Godavari (KG) and Mahanadi basins, and (iii) imaging plate geometries in the Andaman subduction zone. 1 KALACHAND SAIN Identified gas-hydrates (major future energy resources) in KG, Mahanadi & Andaman offshore from where gas-hydrates were later recovered and validated by drilling/coring of expeditions 01 and 02 of Indian National Gas Hydrates Program. Prepared gas-hydrates stability thickness map, delineated & characterized gas-hydrates reservoirs by computing seismic attributes, and evaluated resource potential of gas-hydrates within the Indian exclusive economic zone. Provided critical parameters (porosity, permeability, pore pressure) from seismic studies for designing geologic area-specific production technology of Gas-hydrates Delineated fine-scale velocity structure, for the first time, by sophisticated 1D & 2D full- waveform inversion of multi-channel seismic data in Makran accretionary prism and KG offshore. Produced high-resolution shallow seismic images including faults in KG and Mahanadi offshore using advanced processing, which have shed light in understanding genesis of gas-hydrates. Participated to Indo-Russian Joint Expedition in Lake Baikal, for Geophysical survey (summer, 2015) and gas-hydrate sampling (winter, 2016) to apprehend attribute responses of gas-hydrates from this natural laboratory in characterizing/delineating gas-hydrates from Indian offshore. Established neural-based approaches and computed meta-attributes, first of its kind, by combining several other attributes to automate interpretation of subsurface geologic features from surface 3D seismic data, and delimited gas-chimneys, thin faults, volcanic intrusive, mass transport deposits, fluid expulsion, sill network from available 3D seismic data off New Zealand. Volcanic rocks make routine geophysical methods incapable of probing Mesozoic sediments (in which more than 50% of global oil has been explored) below Deccan volcanic rocks. This has been circumvented by wide-angle seismic experiments onland in Kutch, Saurashtra, Deccan Syneclise & central India. The results match reasonably with available lithologs. Applied state-of-the-art 2D full waveform tomography to wide-angle ocean-bottom seismic data procured from ONGC-Mumbai, and delineated for the first time fine-scale velocity structure of sub-volcanic sediments in the Kerala-Konkan offshore. Delineated deep features in Southern Granulite Terrain, Dharwar Craton, Eastern Ghat mobile belt, Narmada-Son Lineament, Kutch Peninsula, and NW Himalaya, from wide-angle seismics, and shed light on tectonic implications and processes for Bhuj (2001) and Jabalpur (1997) earthquakes. Derived basement configuration and overlying sedimentary formations by wide-angle seismic experiments, and provided geological implications in West Bengal, Mahanadi and Marwar basins. Provided seismotectonic implications of the Andaman subduction zone by designing a specific co-incident low- and wide-angle seismic experiment and imaging undergoing and overriding plate-geometries, accretionary wedge and crustal structures. Pursuing research on Characterization and Assessment of surface and subsurface Processes in the Himalaya (CAP Himalaya) for Geodynamics, Seismogenesis, Geo-hazards and Natural resources. 9.

    MINUTES OF THE 8TH PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION REVIEW COMMITTEE (PIRC) MEETING FOR CADWM IMPLEMENTATION OF 99 PRIORITIZED IRRIGATION PROJECTS UNDER PMKSY HELD ON 4th MARCH, 2021 1.0 The 8th meeting of the Project Implementation Review Committee (PIRC) for CADWM implementation of 99 prioritized projects was organized over virtual platform on 4th March, 2021 under the Chairmanship of Smt. Debashree Mukherjee, Additional Secretary, DoWR, RD & GR, Ministry of Jal Shakti, Govt. of India. The PIRC meeting which usually would be a two day program consisting of field visit and a review meeting was shortened and the field visit was eliminated due to present COVID scenario. Senior officers from DoWR, RD & GR, Central Water Commission, State Governments and Project Monitoring Unit (PMU) attended the meeting. The list of participants is at Annexure- I and summary record of PIRC decisions and recommendations is given at Annexure-II. Photographs taken during the meeting are at Annexure-III. 2.0 Additional Secretary, DoWR, RD & GR, in her opening remarks to the participants expressed concerns over the slow implementation of the CADWM program. She also emphasized the importance of the Command Area Development Program and further stated that command area development is the keystone for equitable access of water, without which all the investments on the dam & canal network will go in vain. She highlighted two critical aspects for the CADWM implementation, namely: (i) completing the CAD works within stipulated time frame, and (ii) ensuring the sustainable Water User Association (WUAs) that can take on the responsibility for the management of completed CAD assets. She further stressed that WUAs should be involved in the CAD planning right from the inception stage of the program under each project.

  • Additional Exploratory Drilling of 13 Wells in KG Basin On-Land PML Acreages of East Godavari District, Andhra Pradesh
    Additional Exploratory Drilling of 13 wells in KG Basin on-land PML acreages of East Godavari District, Andhra Pradesh Intensive exploration is being carried out in KG on-land erstwhile PEL-1A and PEL-1B blocks of Krishna Godavari Basin. Based on the hydrocarbon discoveries made so far and the upside hydrocarbon potential in the blocks, they have been converted to PML blocks for periods ranging from 7 to 20 years. The Godavari on-land PML including the smaller ML areas within constitutes erstwhile PEL- 1B Block of the KG On-land Basin with an approximate area of 3090 Sq. Km and is having mining lease period from seven to twenty years. East Godavari district constitutes about 1807 Sq. Km of Godavari on-land PML (including Endamuru, Mandapeta, Mandapeta west, Enugupalli, Manepalli extension, Tatipaka-Pasarlapudi, Adavipalem-Ponmanda, Srikatapalli- Pasarlrapudi-24 & Gopavaram, Mori, Kesavadasupalem and Kesanapalli PML areas). The relentless exploratory inputs expended by ONGC in the acreages falling in West Godavari district lead to a good number of discoveries and leads. Twelve hydrocarbon bearing fields viz. Tatipaka, Pasarlapudi, Srikatapalli Gopavaram, Mori, Kesavadasupalem, Adavipalem, Ponmanda, Mandapeta, Endamuru, Rangapuram and Bhimanapalli were established so far. Carpet 3D seismic survey with improved imaging of the sub-surface has significantly changed the exploration scenario in the block, yielding discovery of Kothalanka, Geddanapalli, Vygreswaram and Mandapeta South oil fields. Based on these leads, exploring Synrift sediments attain significance for further Hydrocarbon exploration and this block has large upside potential. Based on the Geological and Geophysical studies locations are firmed up for exploratory drilling to probe new prospects and also to delineate the existing oil and gas pools of the established fields.

ETH NO. 25305 Holocene climate- and anthropogenically-driven mobilization of terrestrial organic matter A thesis submitted to attain the degree of DOCTOR OF SCIENCES of ETH ZÜRICH (Dr. Sc. ETH Zürich) Presented by Muhammed Ojoshogu Usman Master of Science in Earth Sciences, ETH Zürich born on November 21, 1987 citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria accepted on the recommendation of Prof. Dr. Timothy I. Eglinton Dr. Maarten R. Lupker Dr. Francien Peterse Dr. Dirk Sachse 2018 Thesis abstract: The Indian monsoon, a part of the Asian monsoon system and one of the most important components of the earth’s climate system, affects the livelihood of over a billion people. Thus, it is imperative to understand the forcing and response mechanisms associated With long-term monsoon variability. OWing to the integrative property of rivers, continental margin sediments deposited at the mouth of rivers often serve as excellent recorders of past environmental condition on the continent. This thesis provides high-resolution records of Indian monsoon variability during the Holocene, using three sediment cores collected from fluvial-dominated margins of the Bay of Bengal (off the Mahanadi, Godavari, and Krishna-Godavari Rivers). In addition, riverine sediments and soils Were collected from the modern-day Godavari river basin to document present changes Within the basin and reconcile them those recorded in offshore sedimentary record.
