Research Themes of Geology & Geo physic
Earth & Environmental Sciences is a challenging and important field of science. Environmental degradation has occurred over time due to population explosion, over exploitation of resources, increasing land use, lack of environmental awareness, climatic shift etc. due to which it is nowadays a global issue of concern. Areas of priority are Hydrogeology, Earthquake Seismology, Well logging and Environmental studies, and Crustal studies.
The potential research themes / areas are as follows:
