Paleomagnetism Group, CSIR-NGRI

Paleomagnetism Group at CSIR-NGRI is actively involved in deciphering the continental Drift theory by studying various rock types of different cratonic blocks of the Indian subcontinent and making paleoreconstructions with other continents of the world. Paleomagnetism provides one of the most convincing fundamental pieces of evidence for the theory of plate tectonics. Numerous scientific collaborations with academic and research institutions in the field of Environmental Magnetism is highly enriching the societal as well as environmental aspects of different mega cities. This group has been working on different Projects funded by agencies like DST and MoES. This group has published more than 60 articles in the last 5 years in high impact National and International Journals. Presently, the group is working on the Ladakh Batholith and Panjal Traps to decipher the emplacement history and magma flow direction. Also carrying out Paleolake studies in the Himalaya to find out the younger Excursions and paleoclimatic implications.
