Brief Description (Abstract):

Ongoing research activities at Antarctica were successfully carried out during XXIV IAE for the long-term scientific objectives of NGRI. The data from the GPS station continues to contribute to Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) and International Earth Rotation Service (IERS). The seismological observatory continues to contribute to NEIC (USGS), ISC, (UK) and plays a pivotal role in the Global Seismographic Network in Antarctica. Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements at Maitri, Indian Antarctic station, have been carried out for the period 1997 to date. The International GPS Service for Geo dynamics (IGS) stations, in different plates, such as Casey, Davis, Kerguelen, Seychelles, Coco, Hartebeesthoek, Yaragadee, and Tidbinbilla were chosen for global network solution.

Status: Completed

Purpose: This study addresses several of these issues mentioned as follows (1) How rigid is the Indian Plate and Indian Ocean Basin? (2) Does relatively high level of intraplate seismicity on the oceanic part of the Indian Plate indicate internal deformation in excess of other plates? and, (3) Is this related to Indo-Eurasian collision and the uplift ofHimalayas?
