Objectives Earthquakes occur when the stresses on a fault exceed its strength. Over the last two decades there have been outstanding developments in observing earthquakes through a variety of techniques. Earthquakes continue to be one of the worst natural disasters. The 26th December 2004 Sumatra earthquake of Mw 9.2 that created a tsunami claiming ~250,000 human lives; the 8th October, 2005 Pakistan earthquake of Mw 7.6 leaving 80,000 people dead; the 12th May, 2008 Sichuan earthquake of Mw 7.9 killing 90,000 people; the 11th March 2011 Fukushima earthquake of Mw 9.0 resulting into nuclear emergency, the 25th April, 2015 Nepal earthquake of Mw 7.8 claiming more than 8000 lives and affecting 8 million people are some reminders that a lot more needs to be done. Koyna, the site of the largest artificial water reservoir triggered earthquake on December 10, 1967, continues to be active. A lot of work has been carried out and a bore hole laboratory for near field study of earthquakes is being set up. Special emphasis has been laid to understand the reservoir triggered earthquake, as we shall be completing 50 years of Koyna December 1967 earthquake. Additionally, there would be sessions covering different disciplines of Earth Sciences during the 54th Indian Geophysical Union.

About CSIR-National Geophysical Research Institute
CSIR-National Geophysical Research Institute (NGRI) was established in 1961 with a mission to carry out research in multidisciplinary areas of the highly complex structure and processes of the Earth system and its extensively interlinked subsystems. NGRI has the mandate to conduct research for public-good science to enable government agencies, public and private sector stakeholders to make informed decisions about use of geo-resources sustainably and improve preparedness and resilience to natural hazards. The core competencies revolve around • Seismology, MT, GPS, Structural Geology for Geodynamics and earthquake hazard
assessments • Land and marine seismics for geo-tectonics and hydrocarbon exploration • Gravity/Magnetics for deciphering subsurface structure • Geochemistry, Geochronology, Paleomagnetism for crustal evolution • Planetary Geology to trace early history of Earth’s formation • Geomagnetism for investigating the Earth’s magnetic field • Airborne Geophysics for groundwater and mineral exploration • Shallow Geophysics and Rock Mechanics for geotechnical, groundwater recharge
systems and exploration applications • Hydrochemistry for groundwater pollution studies • Paleo-environmental studies • Modeling and simulation of Earth processes As a close understanding of Earth processes and its intersection with the growth and development of the human society only can secure the future, it is our vision to develop the knowledge base of Earth system processes and evolve strategies to minimize loss of life and property from natural disasters, and manage optimal usage of water, energy and mineral resources to enhance the quality of life. With 100 qualified scientists and equal number of technical staff, 150 project researchers and 50 PhD students, state-of-the-art computational and laboratory facilities and a nation-wide network of observation sites, NGRI in partnership with sister agencies, is well equipped to address the challenges and serve for the society
About Hyderabad
HYDERABAD (5th Largest City in India), the capital city of Telangana State. Population of more than 50 Lacs & Agglomerated area 727 sq. kms on the Deccan Plateau. Location: 17° E 22’ N Latitude & 78°27’ Longitude. Ruled by the Qutub Shahis, the city has a history of nearly 400 years. The capital Bhagyanagar was named after a royal beloved Bhagyamati, who later as the wife of Quli Qutub Shah became Hyder Mahal and thus was born Hyderabad. Hyderabad was founded on the River Musi five miles east of Golconda, the capital of the Qutub Shahi rulers in 1591-92 by Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah. In 1769, Nizam Ali Khan Asif Jah II, shifted the capital from Aurangabad (The capital founded by Mughal rulers) to Hyderabad. The seven Nizam’s of the Asif Jahi dynasty ruled the Deccan for nearly 224 years, right up to 1948. During the Asif Jahi period, Persian, Urdu, Telugu and Marathi developed simultaneously. Persian was the official language up to 1893 and then Urdu up to 1948. When the British and the French spread their hold over the country, the Nizam soon won their friendship without bequeathing his power. The title “Faithfull, Ally of the British Government” was bestowed on Nizam VIL. Hyderabad, under the Nizam’s, was the largest princely state in India. Soon after India gained independence, Hyderabad State merged with the Union of India. On November 1, 1956 the map of India was redrawn into linguistic states, and Hyderabad became the capital of Andhra Pradesh.
