Abstract

The geological interest of the Dharwar craton in the Precambrian Indian peninsular shield stems from its complexity. A satellite image (IRS-ID LISS-III) of an area of approximately 12,000 sq km corresponding to the region in and around Gadag in the Dharwar craton, was analyzed to determine the geological/structural configuration of the region. The disposition of schist belts, shear zones, and various faults and other lineaments in the region were delineated. The findings are significant in view of the paucity of structural data in the region and form a geo-structural database based on which ground surveys can be planned.
