Brief Description (Abstract):

National Geophysical Research Institute is carrying out two long- term ongoing scientific projects at Maitri, Indian Research Base Station in Antarctica. (1) Sophisticated Seismological Observatory and (2). Permanent GPS Tracking Station. These research activities at Antarctica were successfully carried out during 27th Indian Antarctic Expedition. 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) and ISC (UK) and plays a pivotal role in the Global Seismographic Network. Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements at Maitri, Indian Antarctic station have been carried out from 1997 till date. The International GPS Service for Geodynamics (IGS) stations, in different plates, such as Casey, Davis, Kerguelen, Seychelles, Coco, Hartebeesthoek, Yaragadee, and Tidbinbilla have been chosen in the global network.

Status: Completed

Purpose: (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 of the Himalayas?
