Institute’s diamond jubilee celebrations conclude
The focus of CSIR-National Geophysical Research Institute (NGRI) in the coming years will be on groundwater exploration and management of arid regions, exploration of uranium, shale gas, gas hydrates along with development of geological hazard assessment and early warning system for quakes, said director V.M. Tiwari on Monday.
To build scientific research to global levels of excellence, the institute is planning to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) for geosciences, deep earth imaging and earth process modelling. All these efforts are to ensure access to sustainable water resources, for non-conventional energy needs and also towards strengthening the nation’s security, he said, during the concluding function of the diamond jubilee celebrations held here in a virtual mode.
Tracing the contribution of the premier CSIR institute over the last 60 years in near surface to deep earth exploration, Dr. Tiwari said NGRI has been able to keep up with the technological advances to keep measuring and keep watch on the earth’s magnetic fields, simulation of the horizontal stress, 3-D seismic imaging of coal deposits, deep drilling maps, basins for potential gas hydrates, tsunami modelling, legal continental shelf of the country and so on.
