Abstract

Recent seismological research in India can be mainly grouped into study of 1) seismogenesis and seismotectonics of the three regions viz., Himalaya, Andaman-Nicobar subduction zone and the Stable Continental region (SCR); 2) Strong motion study and 3) earthquake prediction. Last few years have witnessed significant change in monitoring of earthquakes through about hundred broadband seismographs in National Network and many more in clusters whose data are brought online to two centers at National Centre for Seismology, Delhi and INCOIS, Hyderabad. Extensive research on reservoir induced earthquakes has culminated into “Deep Crustal Drilling” (DCD) in the Koyna-Warna region down to focal depth to understand the nucleation and generation process of earthquakes.
