Structure and Tectonics of the Indian Continental Crust and Its Adjoining Region: Deep Seismic Studies

Structure and Tectonics of the Indian Continental Crust and Its Adjoining Region: Deep Seismic Studies, Second Edition, collates essential data from seismic studies of Earth’s crust across India, offering an essential understanding of the tectonic development of the Indian subcontinent. Seismic studies have been carried out in various parts of India since 1972, recording crust-related seismic data for determination of velocity-depth configuration and determination of structural patterns. The book examines the details of these studies, including their synthesis and global applications. The book presents both background and applications in one cohesive volume for researchers and students of geophysics and geology.

Presents all the information and metadata of the Indian continental crust and its neighbouring regions in a cohesive wayProvides basic knowledge of the Indian subcontinent to support the discussion of seismic studies related to crustal structureIncludes all new chapter covering global applications and synthesis of the findings and observations
