The Union Ministry of Mines has conferred the distinguished Nationwide Geoscience Award-2019 on Anand P. Singh, Emeritus Scientist, CSIR-Nationwide Geophysical Analysis Institute (CSIR-NGRI), Hyderabad. Dr. Singh has made notable contribution in the direction of understanding the tectonics of the southern Indian Defend, Deccan Volcanic Province and Rajmahal Traps areas utilizing terrestrial gravity information.
His pioneering work has important implications on unravelling the Precambrian tectonics of Southern Indian protect and modification of the Indian continental crust by plume actions. He aptly built-in gravity and geoid to delineate the Lithosphere-Asthenosphere Boundary (LAB) within the Indian subcontinent.
Dr Singh partook in preparation of the Gravity Map Sequence of India-2006 and made wide-ranging contribution in the direction of Hydrocarbon exploration in Infracambrian Bikaner-Nagaur Basin. These maps are of immense use to know regional tectonics and pure useful resource exploration, stated a press launch on Tuesday.
