The National Geophysical Research Institute, Hyderabad, under the aegis of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi, continued its scientific pursuit in many important areas of basic and applied earth sciences research encompassing geophysics, geology, geochemistry, geochronology and geodesy during the year 2014. The Institute is credited with 167 research publications and has accomplished several national and international projects. We give in this article an overview of three select scientific achievements.Keywords

A surprising discovery of a massive, ancient, subducted tectonic slab in the southeastern Indian Ocean, known as the southeast Indian slab (SEIS), encompassing the entire mantle down to the earth's core raises a whole set of new questions, and offers opportunities to answer some previously outstanding ones. Evidence for SEIS comes from a high-resolution tomographic study by Simmons et al.Full Text

The Palghar district of Maharashtra falls in zone III of the seismic zoning map of India, where earthquakes up to magnitude 6.0 can occur1. A swarm activity was started in the Palghar district of Maharashtra in November 2018 and is still continuing (till the end of November 2019). According to reports from the National Centre for Seismology (NCS), more than 1,000 earthquakes of micro-tominor magnitude have occurred in the Dahanu and Talasari talukas of Palghar district, from 3 November 2018 to 15 February 2019. The biggest tremor of magnitude ML 3.7 was recorded on 1 February 2019, at 3.54 PM (IST). The people of Dahanu and Talasari talukas were panicked by the abnormal ground vibration and burst sound that they felt. In fact, Jawahar city in Palghar district has experienced swarms several times earlier.Full Text
