CSIR-National Geophysical Research Institute th (Council of Scientific & Industrial Research Institute) 54 Annual Convention of IGU CSIR NGRI on “RECENT ADVANCES IN GEOPHYSICS WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO EARTHQUAKE SEISMOLOGY” December 3-7, 2017 Established in the year 1961, the CSIR-National Geophysical Research Institute (CSIR-NGRI), Hyderabad is a premier earth science research institute of the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) under the Ministry of Science & Technology, Government of India. As per its mandate, the institute has been carrying out innovative basic and applied research encompassing the broad disciplines of Geology, Geophysics, Geochemistry & Geochronology. Its multidisciplinary earth science research programs are in tune with the mission of the CSIR and frontier global challenges. Our Core R&D Strengths: Towards Energy Security: ● ● Exploration of Hydrocarbons, Minerals and Groundwater Delineated thick Mesozoic sediments hidden underneath ● Seismology, Earthquake Hazard Assessment & Earthquake Deccan Volcanics in Saurashtra and Kutch regions leading Processes to new oil and gas targets ● ● Understanding the Structure, Dynamics & Evolution of the Quantitative estimate of methane in the form of gas-hydrates Indian Lithosphere and free-gas for Indian offshore regions ● Undertaken R & D program for exploration of coal, coal- Our aim is to: bed methane (CBM) and uranium ● Develop new and novel technologies for exploration as well ● Exploration for geothermal energy at Tapoban and Tattapani as harnessing of natural resources (hydrocarbons, minerals and power generation under NGRI-NTPC collaboration groundwater), often in complex and challenging geological settings Earthquake Monitoring and Hazard Assessment: ● Provide a realistic assessment of natural hazards like earthquakes ● Real time monitoring of earthquakes in High Risk Areas to the Indian society through networks of broadband seismological stations ● Provide comprehensive understanding of shallow and deep earth leading to lowering the thresholds in detection processes ● Earthquake hazard assessment of major cities in seismic ● Assess the anthropogenic and geogenic pollution, management zone 4 and 5 and for strategic installations such as nuclear and control strategies, especially with regard to potable water power stations and dams and environmental safety ● Active participation in the MoES initiative of Deep Drilling Unique Services and Facilities for: Program (upto 7 km) into the Koyna-Warna Earthquake Hypocentral Zone for understanding basic reservoir ● Groundwater
