Capabilities

Study of deep crustal and lithospheric structures: Imaging through seismic soundings, seismic tomography, magneto telluric, gravity and geothermal investigations 

Interpretation of geophysical data: Processing, modeling, and inversion of geophysical data, preparation of depth-sections and image maps for natural resource exploration and geodynamic studies  

Airborne geophysical surveys: Multiparametric (magnetic, radiometric and electromagnetic) aero-geophysical (including helicopter borne) surveys, contour and image maps for regional and detailed studies. 

Marine geophysical surveys: Magnetic, gravity, seismic and bathymetric surveys in offshore regions for study of processes relating to the evolution of the Indian Ocean floor and hydrocarbon exploration. 

Antarctic studies: Geophysical surveys to characterize subglacial basement geology, structure, tectonics, palaeo-reconstruction, wide-band seismic station, GPS measurements in Antarctica for crustal deformation studies. 

Natural resource exploration: Reflection and refraction seismics, Deep resistivity, IP, EM, MagnetoTellurics, magnetic, gravity, scintillometric, helium-emanometry studies for the exploration of oil, groundwater and minerals such as coal, diamond, gold and base metals, and geothermal energy. 

Groundwater management studies: Assessment of groundwater resources and modeling of complex aquifer systems for hazard-free optimal management, water harvesting and subsurface recharge studies. 

Engineering geophysics: Civil engineering and mining applications such as bedrock, tunneling, heavy engineering structures, rippability, dynamic elastic properties, Delineation of archaeological structures, vibration and noise studies for stability studies. 

Earthquake hazard assessment: Monitoring, modelling and zoning of seismically active regions, hazard assessment, quantiification of reservoir triggered seismicity. 

Environmental studies: Field investigation and modelling for waste disposal sites and migration of pollutants and suggestion of remedial measures.
