ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE OF GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA
AFTER HPC 2009 IMPLEMENTATION
The HPC recommended a statutory status to GSI which would on the one hand give it the requisite autonomy and status and allow it to function commercially where required and on the other hand give it statutory authority with regard to survey exploration data acquisition and management Till such time considering its long and distinguished history and its pre-eminence in the field of geoscience and for administrative reason the HPC recommended that GSI should be made an lsquoAttached Officersquo rather than be classified as a lsquoSubordinate Officersquo for greater functional autonomy and because of aspirations created by the nature of GSIrsquos work and its place in the national geoscientific firmament The Government has considered the recommendations of the HPC and also approved the grant of Attached Office status to the GSI in the Ministry of Mines Accordingly the Geological Survey of India is now an Attached Office in the Ministry of Mines Government of India with its headquarters in Kolkata The Geological Survey of India is now formally an attached office of the Ministry of Mines Till July 2009 it was a subordinate office and its upgradation follows recommendation of a High Powered Committee set up in 2008 The organizational structure of GSI is undergoing changes commensurate with its new-found status The organizational structure of GSI is already substantially oriented to meet the needs of specialization as well as multidisciplinary study The Union Cabinet constituted a High Powered Committee (HPC) to thoroughly review the functioning of Geological Survey of India and assess its capacity to meet the emerging challenges taking into account the technological and manpower resources of the organization The report of the committee had been submitted and accepted The revised organizational structure submitted by the Committee and accepted by Government is under the process of implementation GSIrsquos Field Season programmes of 2009-2010 and 2010-2012 are executed on Mission-Region Hybrid matrix

THE 11th MARCH 2011 GREAT MEGA THRUST JAPAN EARTHQUAKE (MW 89)
A tsunamigenic mega-thrust earthquake of magnitude Mw 89(USGS) rocked the east coast of Honshu (3832N 14237E) Japan on 11th March 2011 at 0546237 UTC at a depth of about 245 km beneath the ocean The earthquake was located about 130 km east of the Sendai and about 430 km northeast of Tokyo (USGS IRIS) The earthquake was so powerful that a killer tsunami wave was generated to a height of about 30 ndash 35 ft due to oceanbed upheaval which caused a huge devastation in the entire coastal belts of Miyagi Fukusima and Sendai city of Northeast Japan This is the greatest earthquake so far recorded in the history of Japan instrument seismology Maximum damage was reported by several agencies of Japan and overseas and attributed the damage mainly due to tsunami in the coastal belt of NE Japan and the subsequent fire that broke out due to strong shaking and tsunamis There is a report on leakage and nuclear emission at the nuclear reactor complex at Fukusima after the mega-thrust earthquake This earthquake was associated with tremendously high seismic moment that was capable to displace the original location of the northeast part of the Honshu Island as well as induce measurable change in the duration of day Seismotectonically the northeast Japan Forearc has very complex tectonic settings which has been surrounded by the lsquoRing of Firersquo The forearc region of northeast Japan is a region between Japan magmatic front and the Japan Trench a site of several great interplate damaging earthquakes in the past (Nagai et al 2001) due to continuous subduction of the oldest the coldest and the biggest Pacific Sea Plate beneath the Island Statistical analysis of earthquakes revealed that about 80 of earthquakes occur in the forearc region (Mishra 2004) Additionally Japan Island is highly vulnerable to all kinds of earthquakes of varying strengths because of existence of the four major and mobile tectonic plates (Pacific Sea Plate Philippines Sea Plate North American Sea Plate and Eurasian Sea Plate) beneath the Island The Island is associated with a series of transform faults and the spreading ridge It is worth to mention that the occurrence of such great devastating earthquakes is confined to the Forearc region of Northeast (NE) Japan for which a detailed 3-D seismic tomography outside the seismic network for the first time has already been assimilated from the Pacific coast to the Japan Trench using a large number of high-quality arrival times from sub-oceanic earthquakes that were well relocated with sP-depth phase data a novel technique by a scientist of Geological Survey of India during his research endeavour in Japan that led to an award of Doctor of Science (DSc) to Dr O P Mishra from the Geodynamics Research Centre Ehime University Japan The outstanding publications by Geological Survey of India Geo-Seismology Division CGD GSI (CHQ) Kolkata Mishra et al (2003) and Mishra and Zhao (2004) are given in the reference This detailed study on NE Japan forearc region demonstrated why and how the great mega-thrust tsunamigenic and other past non-tsunamigenic earthquakes
6
occur beneath the ocean The study demarcated several high velocity zones and zones between low and high-velocity anomalies in the NE Japan Forearc suggesting probable locations for great megathrust earthquakes of magnitude greater than 70 beneath the forearc (Mishra et al 2003) The region has already been associated with several past damaging interplate earthquakes having heterogeneous rupture dimensions that overlap one after another (Nagai et al 2001 Mishra et al 2003) The study revealed that varying degree of interplate seismic coupling strong heterogeneties dehydration embrittlement and continuous weakening of the subducting Pacific Sea slab due to its serpentinization are the plausible cause of occurrence of such great devastating mega-thrust earthquakes in past (Mishra et al 2003 Mishra and Zhao 2004) as well the cause of the greatest mega-thrust earthquake (Mw 89) that rocked the NE Japan forearc on the 11th March 2011 Geological Survey of India have studied the record of the Japan mega-thrust earthquake of 11th march 2011 A team of seismologists from Geo-Seismology Division GSI (CHQ) Kolkata rushed to all three seismological observatories of Geological Survey of India located at Adampool Sikkim (273065N 885828E) Agartala Tripura (23865N 912975E) and Itanagar Arunachal Pradesh (270858N 935961E) to collect recorded seismograms of these events It is found that seismological observatories of GSI successfully recorded the event whilst the estimate of earthquake location by the team suggests that the recorded event corresponds to the mainshock earthquake The observatories of GSI recorded the mainshock with magnitude Ms 81 The location by multi-station method using the recorded seismograms by all of three above mentioned seismograph stations ascribed to GSI gives acceptable parameters of location of the mainshock with poor constraints on its depth because of its outside occurrence from the seismic network used in our location
Sikkim Earthquake 18 September 2011 A shallow focus (depth 197 km USGS) earthquake measuring 68 on the Richter scale with its epicentre near the Sikkim - Nepal border (27730N 88080E 68 km NW of Gangtok Sikkim India) shook the Northeast and large parts of northern and eastern India on Sunday evening (18hrs 10 minutes 47 seconds of 18092011) The Earthquake tremors were widely felt for about 15 seconds in Sikkim Assam parts of West Bengal Jharkhand Bihar Uttar Pradesh Delhi and Rajasthan India Meteorological Department reported three aftershocks of magnitude 57 51 and 46 which were also felt in Sikkim In the Eastern Himalayan Region the Indian plate converges into Tibetan plate at a rate of approximately 50 mmyr towards the north-northeast The seismic observatories of GSI recorded the said events The Sikkim Himalaya and adjoining area experienced a number of earthquakes the last major earthquake the area experienced is that of 57 magnitudes on 14 February 2006 The following figure indicate the epicentre of all earthquakes having magnitude gt 4 Mb recorded in the region from 1964 to 2009 and the location of the 18th September 2011 earthquake The preliminary focal mechanism of the earthquake (USGS) suggests strike slip faulting as revealed by the

focal plane solution Preliminary Press Report indicates that at least 18 people have reportedly been killed 13 in India and five in Nepal and over 100 are injured after the earthquake mainly due to houses collapsing Strong tremors were also felt in parts of North and East India and parts of Bangladesh and Nepal triggering widespread panic in different parts of Eastern and North east part of India Mobile phones and power supply were disrupted in Sikkim Bihar Jharkhand and parts of West Bengal The earthquake tremors coupled with heavy rain fall causes rock fall and consequent blockade of important road corridors in Sikkim and Darjeeling Hills Many buildings in Sikkim and Darjeeling hill developed cracks Key roads to the Hills have been badly damaged Roads also reportedly cracked in several places and residents ran out on the streets in Nepal three casualties were reported from Kathmandu where the British embassy collapsed and smashed a car
Rangrik landslide Lahul-Spiti District Himachal Pradesh
The landslide which occurred on 28th July 2009 is located ~2 Km SE of village Rangrik The landslide is about 300m long 200m wide and 35m deep The hill slopes where slide occurred are covered by weathered to highly weathered dolomite with carbonaceous shale partings overlain by overburden material The joint patterns recorded are 35deg-50deg dip due N50deg-65degE
BARREN VOLCANO IN JANUARY 2011
The Barren Volcano (120 29 N 930 85 E) the volcano in the Indian subcontinent is active since May 2005 The eruption is still continuing with a lesser intensity The eruption is pulsative and explosive type (strombolian) where thick columns of dense ash laden steam with coarser pyroclasts (cinders juvenile lava blocks) were ejecting out at 2 to 8 minutes interval The eruption was continuing from two vents on the parasitic crater The parasitic crater had developed over a subsidiary cinder cone (~ 500 m high) where the later developed over the southern wall of the main cinder cone of 1991-95 eruption Coarser incandescent pyroclasts in the form of blocks spatter cinders were ballastically ejecting out sub vertically for about 100-150 m height and were falling down along the slope of volcanic cone The shape and height of the cinder cone as well in the caldera valley has changed

SHRI A SUNDARAMOORTHY ADG (GEOLOGY)
TAKES OVER THE CHARGE OF THE OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR GENERAL GSI WEF 1ST FEB 2011 IN ADDITION TO HIS OWN
CHARGE
Kolkata February 1 2011 Dear colleagues I have taken over charge of the Office of the Director General Geological Survey of India Kolkata on February 1 2011 in the forenoon On this happy occasion I sincerely wish to thank the Ministry of Mines Govt of India for reposing faith on me to head this great scientific organization in right earnest at a crucial time when GSI is undergoing great changes in its functioning under the new Mission-Region-Matrix mode All our sincere thanks go the Honrsquoble Minister Secretary and Additional Secretary Ministry of Mines for heralding a new era approach to make this great organization more vibrant and competitive among all the other leading Geological Surveys in the world I always remember the great sacrifice made by and untold hardships undergone by our geoscientists right from the inception of GSI as a regular Govt Department in 1852 until now in unearthing the various geological setting and the associated mineral deposits of our nation And I call upon the present day geoscientists to simulate or follow the foot prints of these great scientists in our endeavour to discover more mineral resources deposits and to attend to various societal issues related to Earth Sciences While assuming charge I have set certain achievable goals My foremost priority item task will be to implement the HPC recommendations in time Many of the recommendations have already been implemented Still some important ones remain to be accomplished This is in the field of Human Resources Development deployment and general administration With the induction of more and more officers into scientific streams on an annual basis the requisite sanctioned strength will be achieved in a couple of years Mission-wise distribution of scientific personnel will have to be taken up on war footing by judicious deployment and redeployment of officers strictly based on operational and functional requirement In order to achieve the desired goals the transfer policy that is in vogue will be refined for the betterment of the Department Under
Mission - I concept based Specialised Thematic Mapping (STM) will be pursued vigorously National Geological Mapping programme will be continued to cover the entire country within a stipulated period Both STM and NGCM will continue to be given top priority in the ensuing XIIth amp XIIIth Plan Periods In addition Hyperspectral Mapping and Aero-magnetic Surveys will be accorded special preference in order to locate hidden mineral deposit so that GSIrsquos contribution towards GDP will be sustained at an expected level Marine and Aeromagnetic Surveys will get a fillip when GSI acquires new ocean-going vessel geotechnical vessel and heli-borne equipments in the near future Mission - II will be required to come out with more mineral specific exploration programmes based on positive results of geological geophysical and geochemical surveys The third phase of networking will be given top priority under Mission - III Any organization institution is recognized in the world by the amount of research items it undertakes and accomplishes This way the Mission - IV will be required to be strengthened with dedicated officers The human resource development programme as approved by the Mission - V will continue to be the mainstay in GSI A panel of experts in each field of specialisation will always be kept ready and updated in order to take up any assignment in any geoscientific field if so desired by other Govt organizations Public Sectors Public Sector Undertakings Bilateral programme with other countries will be given due importance as and when required by the Ministry I hope that the GSI with her dedicated scientists and supporting staff will be able to realise all the aforesaid achievable goals Our nation expects a lot from us Let us fulfill this expectation with pride devotion and dedication It is to be mentioned here that improvement in service conditions uniform career progression in all scientific streams introduction of pay parity in organised service streams etc are some of the encouraging steps initiated and pursued vigorously by Ministry of Mines Govt of India It is therefore our duty to do our best keeping in view the demands that are ahead Let us be real professionals and I will be freely accessible to interact with one and all to usher in a new chapter in the glorious existence of the Geological Survey of India
With best wishes Yours sincerely

ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE OF GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA
AFTER HPC 2009 IMPLEMENTATION
The HPC recommended a statutory status to GSI which would on the one hand give it the requisite autonomy and status and allow it to function commercially where required and on the other hand give it statutory authority with regard to survey exploration data acquisition and management Till such time considering its long and distinguished history and its pre-eminence in the field of geoscience and for administrative reason the HPC recommended that GSI should be made an lsquoAttached Officersquo rather than be classified as a lsquoSubordinate Officersquo for greater functional autonomy and because of aspirations created by the nature of GSIrsquos work and its place in the national geoscientific firmament The Government has considered the recommendations of the HPC and also approved the grant of Attached Office status to the GSI in the Ministry of Mines Accordingly the Geological Survey of India is now an Attached Office in the Ministry of Mines Government of India with its headquarters in Kolkata The Geological Survey of India is now formally an attached office of the Ministry of Mines Till July 2009 it was a subordinate office and its upgradation follows recommendation of a High Powered Committee set up in 2008 The organizational structure of GSI is undergoing changes commensurate with its new-found status The organizational structure of GSI is already substantially oriented to meet the needs of specialization as well as multidisciplinary study The Union Cabinet constituted a High Powered Committee (HPC) to thoroughly review the functioning of Geological Survey of India and assess its capacity to meet the emerging challenges taking into account the technological and manpower resources of the organization The report of the committee had been submitted and accepted The revised organizational structure submitted by the Committee and accepted by Government is under the process of implementation GSIrsquos Field Season programmes of 2009-2010 and 2010-2012 are executed on Mission-Region Hybrid matrix

THE 11th MARCH 2011 GREAT MEGA THRUST JAPAN EARTHQUAKE (MW 89)
A tsunamigenic mega-thrust earthquake of magnitude Mw 89(USGS) rocked the east coast of Honshu (3832N 14237E) Japan on 11th March 2011 at 0546237 UTC at a depth of about 245 km beneath the ocean The earthquake was located about 130 km east of the Sendai and about 430 km northeast of Tokyo (USGS IRIS) The earthquake was so powerful that a killer tsunami wave was generated to a height of about 30 ndash 35 ft due to oceanbed upheaval which caused a huge devastation in the entire coastal belts of Miyagi Fukusima and Sendai city of Northeast Japan This is the greatest earthquake so far recorded in the history of Japan instrument seismology Maximum damage was reported by several agencies of Japan and overseas and attributed the damage mainly due to tsunami in the coastal belt of NE Japan and the subsequent fire that broke out due to strong shaking and tsunamis There is a report on leakage and nuclear emission at the nuclear reactor complex at Fukusima after the mega-thrust earthquake This earthquake was associated with tremendously high seismic moment that was capable to displace the original location of the northeast part of the Honshu Island as well as induce measurable change in the duration of day Seismotectonically the northeast Japan Forearc has very complex tectonic settings which has been surrounded by the lsquoRing of Firersquo The forearc region of northeast Japan is a region between Japan magmatic front and the Japan Trench a site of several great interplate damaging earthquakes in the past (Nagai et al 2001) due to continuous subduction of the oldest the coldest and the biggest Pacific Sea Plate beneath the Island Statistical analysis of earthquakes revealed that about 80 of earthquakes occur in the forearc region (Mishra 2004) Additionally Japan Island is highly vulnerable to all kinds of earthquakes of varying strengths because of existence of the four major and mobile tectonic plates (Pacific Sea Plate Philippines Sea Plate North American Sea Plate and Eurasian Sea Plate) beneath the Island The Island is associated with a series of transform faults and the spreading ridge It is worth to mention that the occurrence of such great devastating earthquakes is confined to the Forearc region of Northeast (NE) Japan for which a detailed 3-D seismic tomography outside the seismic network for the first time has already been assimilated from the Pacific coast to the Japan Trench using a large number of high-quality arrival times from sub-oceanic earthquakes that were well relocated with sP-depth phase data a novel technique by a scientist of Geological Survey of India during his research endeavour in Japan that led to an award of Doctor of Science (DSc) to Dr O P Mishra from the Geodynamics Research Centre Ehime University Japan The outstanding publications by Geological Survey of India Geo-Seismology Division CGD GSI (CHQ) Kolkata Mishra et al (2003) and Mishra and Zhao (2004) are given in the reference This detailed study on NE Japan forearc region demonstrated why and how the great mega-thrust tsunamigenic and other past non-tsunamigenic earthquakes
6
occur beneath the ocean The study demarcated several high velocity zones and zones between low and high-velocity anomalies in the NE Japan Forearc suggesting probable locations for great megathrust earthquakes of magnitude greater than 70 beneath the forearc (Mishra et al 2003) The region has already been associated with several past damaging interplate earthquakes having heterogeneous rupture dimensions that overlap one after another (Nagai et al 2001 Mishra et al 2003) The study revealed that varying degree of interplate seismic coupling strong heterogeneties dehydration embrittlement and continuous weakening of the subducting Pacific Sea slab due to its serpentinization are the plausible cause of occurrence of such great devastating mega-thrust earthquakes in past (Mishra et al 2003 Mishra and Zhao 2004) as well the cause of the greatest mega-thrust earthquake (Mw 89) that rocked the NE Japan forearc on the 11th March 2011 Geological Survey of India have studied the record of the Japan mega-thrust earthquake of 11th march 2011 A team of seismologists from Geo-Seismology Division GSI (CHQ) Kolkata rushed to all three seismological observatories of Geological Survey of India located at Adampool Sikkim (273065N 885828E) Agartala Tripura (23865N 912975E) and Itanagar Arunachal Pradesh (270858N 935961E) to collect recorded seismograms of these events It is found that seismological observatories of GSI successfully recorded the event whilst the estimate of earthquake location by the team suggests that the recorded event corresponds to the mainshock earthquake The observatories of GSI recorded the mainshock with magnitude Ms 81 The location by multi-station method using the recorded seismograms by all of three above mentioned seismograph stations ascribed to GSI gives acceptable parameters of location of the mainshock with poor constraints on its depth because of its outside occurrence from the seismic network used in our location
Sikkim Earthquake 18 September 2011 A shallow focus (depth 197 km USGS) earthquake measuring 68 on the Richter scale with its epicentre near the Sikkim - Nepal border (27730N 88080E 68 km NW of Gangtok Sikkim India) shook the Northeast and large parts of northern and eastern India on Sunday evening (18hrs 10 minutes 47 seconds of 18092011) The Earthquake tremors were widely felt for about 15 seconds in Sikkim Assam parts of West Bengal Jharkhand Bihar Uttar Pradesh Delhi and Rajasthan India Meteorological Department reported three aftershocks of magnitude 57 51 and 46 which were also felt in Sikkim In the Eastern Himalayan Region the Indian plate converges into Tibetan plate at a rate of approximately 50 mmyr towards the north-northeast The seismic observatories of GSI recorded the said events The Sikkim Himalaya and adjoining area experienced a number of earthquakes the last major earthquake the area experienced is that of 57 magnitudes on 14 February 2006 The following figure indicate the epicentre of all earthquakes having magnitude gt 4 Mb recorded in the region from 1964 to 2009 and the location of the 18th September 2011 earthquake The preliminary focal mechanism of the earthquake (USGS) suggests strike slip faulting as revealed by the

TAKES OVER THE CHARGE OF THE OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR GENERAL GSI WEF 1ST FEB 2011 IN ADDITION TO HIS OWN
CHARGE
Kolkata February 1 2011 Dear colleagues I have taken over charge of the Office of the Director General Geological Survey of India Kolkata on February 1 2011 in the forenoon On this happy occasion I sincerely wish to thank the Ministry of Mines Govt of India for reposing faith on me to head this great scientific organization in right earnest at a crucial time when GSI is undergoing great changes in its functioning under the new Mission-Region-Matrix mode All our sincere thanks go the Honrsquoble Minister Secretary and Additional Secretary Ministry of Mines for heralding a new era approach to make this great organization more vibrant and competitive among all the other leading Geological Surveys in the world I always remember the great sacrifice made by and untold hardships undergone by our geoscientists right from the inception of GSI as a regular Govt Department in 1852 until now in unearthing the various geological setting and the associated mineral deposits of our nation And I call upon the present day geoscientists to simulate or follow the foot prints of these great scientists in our endeavour to discover more mineral resources deposits and to attend to various societal issues related to Earth Sciences While assuming charge I have set certain achievable goals My foremost priority item task will be to implement the HPC recommendations in time Many of the recommendations have already been implemented Still some important ones remain to be accomplished This is in the field of Human Resources Development deployment and general administration With the induction of more and more officers into scientific streams on an annual basis the requisite sanctioned strength will be achieved in a couple of years Mission-wise distribution of scientific personnel will have to be taken up on war footing by judicious deployment and redeployment of officers strictly based on operational and functional requirement In order to achieve the desired goals the transfer policy that is in vogue will be refined for the betterment of the Department Under
Mission - I concept based Specialised Thematic Mapping (STM) will be pursued vigorously National Geological Mapping programme will be continued to cover the entire country within a stipulated period Both STM and NGCM will continue to be given top priority in the ensuing XIIth amp XIIIth Plan Periods In addition Hyperspectral Mapping and Aero-magnetic Surveys will be accorded special preference in order to locate hidden mineral deposit so that GSIrsquos contribution towards GDP will be sustained at an expected level Marine and Aeromagnetic Surveys will get a fillip when GSI acquires new ocean-going vessel geotechnical vessel and heli-borne equipments in the near future Mission - II will be required to come out with more mineral specific exploration programmes based on positive results of geological geophysical and geochemical surveys The third phase of networking will be given top priority under Mission - III Any organization institution is recognized in the world by the amount of research items it undertakes and accomplishes This way the Mission - IV will be required to be strengthened with dedicated officers The human resource development programme as approved by the Mission - V will continue to be the mainstay in GSI A panel of experts in each field of specialisation will always be kept ready and updated in order to take up any assignment in any geoscientific field if so desired by other Govt organizations Public Sectors Public Sector Undertakings Bilateral programme with other countries will be given due importance as and when required by the Ministry I hope that the GSI with her dedicated scientists and supporting staff will be able to realise all the aforesaid achievable goals Our nation expects a lot from us Let us fulfill this expectation with pride devotion and dedication It is to be mentioned here that improvement in service conditions uniform career progression in all scientific streams introduction of pay parity in organised service streams etc are some of the encouraging steps initiated and pursued vigorously by Ministry of Mines Govt of India It is therefore our duty to do our best keeping in view the demands that are ahead Let us be real professionals and I will be freely accessible to interact with one and all to usher in a new chapter in the glorious existence of the Geological Survey of India
With best wishes Yours sincerely

ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE OF GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA
AFTER HPC 2009 IMPLEMENTATION
The HPC recommended a statutory status to GSI which would on the one hand give it the requisite autonomy and status and allow it to function commercially where required and on the other hand give it statutory authority with regard to survey exploration data acquisition and management Till such time considering its long and distinguished history and its pre-eminence in the field of geoscience and for administrative reason the HPC recommended that GSI should be made an lsquoAttached Officersquo rather than be classified as a lsquoSubordinate Officersquo for greater functional autonomy and because of aspirations created by the nature of GSIrsquos work and its place in the national geoscientific firmament The Government has considered the recommendations of the HPC and also approved the grant of Attached Office status to the GSI in the Ministry of Mines Accordingly the Geological Survey of India is now an Attached Office in the Ministry of Mines Government of India with its headquarters in Kolkata The Geological Survey of India is now formally an attached office of the Ministry of Mines Till July 2009 it was a subordinate office and its upgradation follows recommendation of a High Powered Committee set up in 2008 The organizational structure of GSI is undergoing changes commensurate with its new-found status The organizational structure of GSI is already substantially oriented to meet the needs of specialization as well as multidisciplinary study The Union Cabinet constituted a High Powered Committee (HPC) to thoroughly review the functioning of Geological Survey of India and assess its capacity to meet the emerging challenges taking into account the technological and manpower resources of the organization The report of the committee had been submitted and accepted The revised organizational structure submitted by the Committee and accepted by Government is under the process of implementation GSIrsquos Field Season programmes of 2009-2010 and 2010-2012 are executed on Mission-Region Hybrid matrix

THE 11th MARCH 2011 GREAT MEGA THRUST JAPAN EARTHQUAKE (MW 89)
A tsunamigenic mega-thrust earthquake of magnitude Mw 89(USGS) rocked the east coast of Honshu (3832N 14237E) Japan on 11th March 2011 at 0546237 UTC at a depth of about 245 km beneath the ocean The earthquake was located about 130 km east of the Sendai and about 430 km northeast of Tokyo (USGS IRIS) The earthquake was so powerful that a killer tsunami wave was generated to a height of about 30 ndash 35 ft due to oceanbed upheaval which caused a huge devastation in the entire coastal belts of Miyagi Fukusima and Sendai city of Northeast Japan This is the greatest earthquake so far recorded in the history of Japan instrument seismology Maximum damage was reported by several agencies of Japan and overseas and attributed the damage mainly due to tsunami in the coastal belt of NE Japan and the subsequent fire that broke out due to strong shaking and tsunamis There is a report on leakage and nuclear emission at the nuclear reactor complex at Fukusima after the mega-thrust earthquake This earthquake was associated with tremendously high seismic moment that was capable to displace the original location of the northeast part of the Honshu Island as well as induce measurable change in the duration of day Seismotectonically the northeast Japan Forearc has very complex tectonic settings which has been surrounded by the lsquoRing of Firersquo The forearc region of northeast Japan is a region between Japan magmatic front and the Japan Trench a site of several great interplate damaging earthquakes in the past (Nagai et al 2001) due to continuous subduction of the oldest the coldest and the biggest Pacific Sea Plate beneath the Island Statistical analysis of earthquakes revealed that about 80 of earthquakes occur in the forearc region (Mishra 2004) Additionally Japan Island is highly vulnerable to all kinds of earthquakes of varying strengths because of existence of the four major and mobile tectonic plates (Pacific Sea Plate Philippines Sea Plate North American Sea Plate and Eurasian Sea Plate) beneath the Island The Island is associated with a series of transform faults and the spreading ridge It is worth to mention that the occurrence of such great devastating earthquakes is confined to the Forearc region of Northeast (NE) Japan for which a detailed 3-D seismic tomography outside the seismic network for the first time has already been assimilated from the Pacific coast to the Japan Trench using a large number of high-quality arrival times from sub-oceanic earthquakes that were well relocated with sP-depth phase data a novel technique by a scientist of Geological Survey of India during his research endeavour in Japan that led to an award of Doctor of Science (DSc) to Dr O P Mishra from the Geodynamics Research Centre Ehime University Japan The outstanding publications by Geological Survey of India Geo-Seismology Division CGD GSI (CHQ) Kolkata Mishra et al (2003) and Mishra and Zhao (2004) are given in the reference This detailed study on NE Japan forearc region demonstrated why and how the great mega-thrust tsunamigenic and other past non-tsunamigenic earthquakes

occur beneath the ocean The study demarcated several high velocity zones and zones between low and high-velocity anomalies in the NE Japan Forearc suggesting probable locations for great megathrust earthquakes of magnitude greater than 70 beneath the forearc (Mishra et al 2003) The region has already been associated with several past damaging interplate earthquakes having heterogeneous rupture dimensions that overlap one after another (Nagai et al 2001 Mishra et al 2003) The study revealed that varying degree of interplate seismic coupling strong heterogeneties dehydration embrittlement and continuous weakening of the subducting Pacific Sea slab due to its serpentinization are the plausible cause of occurrence of such great devastating mega-thrust earthquakes in past (Mishra et al 2003 Mishra and Zhao 2004) as well the cause of the greatest mega-thrust earthquake (Mw 89) that rocked the NE Japan forearc on the 11th March 2011 Geological Survey of India have studied the record of the Japan mega-thrust earthquake of 11th march 2011 A team of seismologists from Geo-Seismology Division GSI (CHQ) Kolkata rushed to all three seismological observatories of Geological Survey of India located at Adampool Sikkim (273065N 885828E) Agartala Tripura (23865N 912975E) and Itanagar Arunachal Pradesh (270858N 935961E) to collect recorded seismograms of these events It is found that seismological observatories of GSI successfully recorded the event whilst the estimate of earthquake location by the team suggests that the recorded event corresponds to the mainshock earthquake The observatories of GSI recorded the mainshock with magnitude Ms 81 The location by multi-station method using the recorded seismograms by all of three above mentioned seismograph stations ascribed to GSI gives acceptable parameters of location of the mainshock with poor constraints on its depth because of its outside occurrence from the seismic network used in our location

ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE OF GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA
AFTER HPC 2009 IMPLEMENTATION
The HPC recommended a statutory status to GSI which would on the one hand give it the requisite autonomy and status and allow it to function commercially where required and on the other hand give it statutory authority with regard to survey exploration data acquisition and management Till such time considering its long and distinguished history and its pre-eminence in the field of geoscience and for administrative reason the HPC recommended that GSI should be made an lsquoAttached Officersquo rather than be classified as a lsquoSubordinate Officersquo for greater functional autonomy and because of aspirations created by the nature of GSIrsquos work and its place in the national geoscientific firmament The Government has considered the recommendations of the HPC and also approved the grant of Attached Office status to the GSI in the Ministry of Mines Accordingly the Geological Survey of India is now an Attached Office in the Ministry of Mines Government of India with its headquarters in Kolkata The Geological Survey of India is now formally an attached office of the Ministry of Mines Till July 2009 it was a subordinate office and its upgradation follows recommendation of a High Powered Committee set up in 2008 The organizational structure of GSI is undergoing changes commensurate with its new-found status The organizational structure of GSI is already substantially oriented to meet the needs of specialization as well as multidisciplinary study The Union Cabinet constituted a High Powered Committee (HPC) to thoroughly review the functioning of Geological Survey of India and assess its capacity to meet the emerging challenges taking into account the technological and manpower resources of the organization The report of the committee had been submitted and accepted The revised organizational structure submitted by the Committee and accepted by Government is under the process of implementation GSIrsquos Field Season programmes of 2009-2010 and 2010-2012 are executed on Mission-Region Hybrid matrix

THE 11th MARCH 2011 GREAT MEGA THRUST JAPAN EARTHQUAKE (MW 89)
A tsunamigenic mega-thrust earthquake of magnitude Mw 89(USGS) rocked the east coast of Honshu (3832N 14237E) Japan on 11th March 2011 at 0546237 UTC at a depth of about 245 km beneath the ocean The earthquake was located about 130 km east of the Sendai and about 430 km northeast of Tokyo (USGS IRIS) The earthquake was so powerful that a killer tsunami wave was generated to a height of about 30 ndash 35 ft due to oceanbed upheaval which caused a huge devastation in the entire coastal belts of Miyagi Fukusima and Sendai city of Northeast Japan This is the greatest earthquake so far recorded in the history of Japan instrument seismology Maximum damage was reported by several agencies of Japan and overseas and attributed the damage mainly due to tsunami in the coastal belt of NE Japan and the subsequent fire that broke out due to strong shaking and tsunamis There is a report on leakage and nuclear emission at the nuclear reactor complex at Fukusima after the mega-thrust earthquake This earthquake was associated with tremendously high seismic moment that was capable to displace the original location of the northeast part of the Honshu Island as well as induce measurable change in the duration of day Seismotectonically the northeast Japan Forearc has very complex tectonic settings which has been surrounded by the lsquoRing of Firersquo The forearc region of northeast Japan is a region between Japan magmatic front and the Japan Trench a site of several great interplate damaging earthquakes in the past (Nagai et al 2001) due to continuous subduction of the oldest the coldest and the biggest Pacific Sea Plate beneath the Island Statistical analysis of earthquakes revealed that about 80 of earthquakes occur in the forearc region (Mishra 2004) Additionally Japan Island is highly vulnerable to all kinds of earthquakes of varying strengths because of existence of the four major and mobile tectonic plates (Pacific Sea Plate Philippines Sea Plate North American Sea Plate and Eurasian Sea Plate) beneath the Island The Island is associated with a series of transform faults and the spreading ridge It is worth to mention that the occurrence of such great devastating earthquakes is confined to the Forearc region of Northeast (NE) Japan for which a detailed 3-D seismic tomography outside the seismic network for the first time has already been assimilated from the Pacific coast to the Japan Trench using a large number of high-quality arrival times from sub-oceanic earthquakes that were well relocated with sP-depth phase data a novel technique by a scientist of Geological Survey of India during his research endeavour in Japan that led to an award of Doctor of Science (DSc) to Dr O P Mishra from the Geodynamics Research Centre Ehime University Japan The outstanding publications by Geological Survey of India Geo-Seismology Division CGD GSI (CHQ) Kolkata Mishra et al (2003) and Mishra and Zhao (2004) are given in the reference This detailed study on NE Japan forearc region demonstrated why and how the great mega-thrust tsunamigenic and other past non-tsunamigenic earthquakes

occur beneath the ocean The study demarcated several high velocity zones and zones between low and high-velocity anomalies in the NE Japan Forearc suggesting probable locations for great megathrust earthquakes of magnitude greater than 70 beneath the forearc (Mishra et al 2003) The region has already been associated with several past damaging interplate earthquakes having heterogeneous rupture dimensions that overlap one after another (Nagai et al 2001 Mishra et al 2003) The study revealed that varying degree of interplate seismic coupling strong heterogeneties dehydration embrittlement and continuous weakening of the subducting Pacific Sea slab due to its serpentinization are the plausible cause of occurrence of such great devastating mega-thrust earthquakes in past (Mishra et al 2003 Mishra and Zhao 2004) as well the cause of the greatest mega-thrust earthquake (Mw 89) that rocked the NE Japan forearc on the 11th March 2011 Geological Survey of India have studied the record of the Japan mega-thrust earthquake of 11th march 2011 A team of seismologists from Geo-Seismology Division GSI (CHQ) Kolkata rushed to all three seismological observatories of Geological Survey of India located at Adampool Sikkim (273065N 885828E) Agartala Tripura (23865N 912975E) and Itanagar Arunachal Pradesh (270858N 935961E) to collect recorded seismograms of these events It is found that seismological observatories of GSI successfully recorded the event whilst the estimate of earthquake location by the team suggests that the recorded event corresponds to the mainshock earthquake The observatories of GSI recorded the mainshock with magnitude Ms 81 The location by multi-station method using the recorded seismograms by all of three above mentioned seismograph stations ascribed to GSI gives acceptable parameters of location of the mainshock with poor constraints on its depth because of its outside occurrence from the seismic network used in our location
Sikkim Earthquake 18 September 2011 A shallow focus (depth 197 km USGS) earthquake measuring 68 on the Richter scale with its epicentre near the Sikkim - Nepal border (27730N 88080E 68 km NW of Gangtok Sikkim India) shook the Northeast and large parts of northern and eastern India on Sunday evening (18hrs 10 minutes 47 seconds of 18092011) The Earthquake tremors were widely felt for about 15 seconds in Sikkim Assam parts of West Bengal Jharkhand Bihar Uttar Pradesh Delhi and Rajasthan India Meteorological Department reported three aftershocks of magnitude 57 51 and 46 which were also felt in Sikkim In the Eastern Himalayan Region the Indian plate converges into Tibetan plate at a rate of approximately 50 mmyr towards the north-northeast The seismic observatories of GSI recorded the said events The Sikkim Himalaya and adjoining area experienced a number of earthquakes the last major earthquake the area experienced is that of 57 magnitudes on 14 February 2006 The following figure indicate the epicentre of all earthquakes having magnitude gt 4 Mb recorded in the region from 1964 to 2009 and the location of the 18th September 2011 earthquake The preliminary focal mechanism of the earthquake (USGS) suggests strike slip faulting as revealed by the

focal plane solution Preliminary Press Report indicates that at least 18 people have reportedly been killed 13 in India and five in Nepal and over 100 are injured after the earthquake mainly due to houses collapsing Strong tremors were also felt in parts of North and East India and parts of Bangladesh and Nepal triggering widespread panic in different parts of Eastern and North east part of India Mobile phones and power supply were disrupted in Sikkim Bihar Jharkhand and parts of West Bengal The earthquake tremors coupled with heavy rain fall causes rock fall and consequent blockade of important road corridors in Sikkim and Darjeeling Hills Many buildings in Sikkim and Darjeeling hill developed cracks Key roads to the Hills have been badly damaged Roads also reportedly cracked in several places and residents ran out on the streets in Nepal three casualties were reported from Kathmandu where the British embassy collapsed and smashed a car
Rangrik landslide Lahul-Spiti District Himachal Pradesh
The landslide which occurred on 28th July 2009 is located ~2 Km SE of village Rangrik The landslide is about 300m long 200m wide and 35m deep The hill slopes where slide occurred are covered by weathered to highly weathered dolomite with carbonaceous shale partings overlain by overburden material The joint patterns recorded are 35deg-50deg dip due N50deg-65degE
BARREN VOLCANO IN JANUARY 2011
The Barren Volcano (120 29 N 930 85 E) the volcano in the Indian subcontinent is active since May 2005 The eruption is still continuing with a lesser intensity The eruption is pulsative and explosive type (strombolian) where thick columns of dense ash laden steam with coarser pyroclasts (cinders juvenile lava blocks) were ejecting out at 2 to 8 minutes interval The eruption was continuing from two vents on the parasitic crater The parasitic crater had developed over a subsidiary cinder cone (~ 500 m high) where the later developed over the southern wall of the main cinder cone of 1991-95 eruption Coarser incandescent pyroclasts in the form of blocks spatter cinders were ballastically ejecting out sub vertically for about 100-150 m height and were falling down along the slope of volcanic cone The shape and height of the cinder cone as well in the caldera valley has changed

ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE OF GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA
AFTER HPC 2009 IMPLEMENTATION
The HPC recommended a statutory status to GSI which would on the one hand give it the requisite autonomy and status and allow it to function commercially where required and on the other hand give it statutory authority with regard to survey exploration data acquisition and management Till such time considering its long and distinguished history and its pre-eminence in the field of geoscience and for administrative reason the HPC recommended that GSI should be made an lsquoAttached Officersquo rather than be classified as a lsquoSubordinate Officersquo for greater functional autonomy and because of aspirations created by the nature of GSIrsquos work and its place in the national geoscientific firmament The Government has considered the recommendations of the HPC and also approved the grant of Attached Office status to the GSI in the Ministry of Mines Accordingly the Geological Survey of India is now an Attached Office in the Ministry of Mines Government of India with its headquarters in Kolkata The Geological Survey of India is now formally an attached office of the Ministry of Mines Till July 2009 it was a subordinate office and its upgradation follows recommendation of a High Powered Committee set up in 2008 The organizational structure of GSI is undergoing changes commensurate with its new-found status The organizational structure of GSI is already substantially oriented to meet the needs of specialization as well as multidisciplinary study The Union Cabinet constituted a High Powered Committee (HPC) to thoroughly review the functioning of Geological Survey of India and assess its capacity to meet the emerging challenges taking into account the technological and manpower resources of the organization The report of the committee had been submitted and accepted The revised organizational structure submitted by the Committee and accepted by Government is under the process of implementation GSIrsquos Field Season programmes of 2009-2010 and 2010-2012 are executed on Mission-Region Hybrid matrix

THE 11th MARCH 2011 GREAT MEGA THRUST JAPAN EARTHQUAKE (MW 89)
A tsunamigenic mega-thrust earthquake of magnitude Mw 89(USGS) rocked the east coast of Honshu (3832N 14237E) Japan on 11th March 2011 at 0546237 UTC at a depth of about 245 km beneath the ocean The earthquake was located about 130 km east of the Sendai and about 430 km northeast of Tokyo (USGS IRIS) The earthquake was so powerful that a killer tsunami wave was generated to a height of about 30 ndash 35 ft due to oceanbed upheaval which caused a huge devastation in the entire coastal belts of Miyagi Fukusima and Sendai city of Northeast Japan This is the greatest earthquake so far recorded in the history of Japan instrument seismology Maximum damage was reported by several agencies of Japan and overseas and attributed the damage mainly due to tsunami in the coastal belt of NE Japan and the subsequent fire that broke out due to strong shaking and tsunamis There is a report on leakage and nuclear emission at the nuclear reactor complex at Fukusima after the mega-thrust earthquake This earthquake was associated with tremendously high seismic moment that was capable to displace the original location of the northeast part of the Honshu Island as well as induce measurable change in the duration of day Seismotectonically the northeast Japan Forearc has very complex tectonic settings which has been surrounded by the lsquoRing of Firersquo The forearc region of northeast Japan is a region between Japan magmatic front and the Japan Trench a site of several great interplate damaging earthquakes in the past (Nagai et al 2001) due to continuous subduction of the oldest the coldest and the biggest Pacific Sea Plate beneath the Island Statistical analysis of earthquakes revealed that about 80 of earthquakes occur in the forearc region (Mishra 2004) Additionally Japan Island is highly vulnerable to all kinds of earthquakes of varying strengths because of existence of the four major and mobile tectonic plates (Pacific Sea Plate Philippines Sea Plate North American Sea Plate and Eurasian Sea Plate) beneath the Island The Island is associated with a series of transform faults and the spreading ridge It is worth to mention that the occurrence of such great devastating earthquakes is confined to the Forearc region of Northeast (NE) Japan for which a detailed 3-D seismic tomography outside the seismic network for the first time has already been assimilated from the Pacific coast to the Japan Trench using a large number of high-quality arrival times from sub-oceanic earthquakes that were well relocated with sP-depth phase data a novel technique by a scientist of Geological Survey of India during his research endeavour in Japan that led to an award of Doctor of Science (DSc) to Dr O P Mishra from the Geodynamics Research Centre Ehime University Japan The outstanding publications by Geological Survey of India Geo-Seismology Division CGD GSI (CHQ) Kolkata Mishra et al (2003) and Mishra and Zhao (2004) are given in the reference This detailed study on NE Japan forearc region demonstrated why and how the great mega-thrust tsunamigenic and other past non-tsunamigenic earthquakes
6
occur beneath the ocean The study demarcated several high velocity zones and zones between low and high-velocity anomalies in the NE Japan Forearc suggesting probable locations for great megathrust earthquakes of magnitude greater than 70 beneath the forearc (Mishra et al 2003) The region has already been associated with several past damaging interplate earthquakes having heterogeneous rupture dimensions that overlap one after another (Nagai et al 2001 Mishra et al 2003) The study revealed that varying degree of interplate seismic coupling strong heterogeneties dehydration embrittlement and continuous weakening of the subducting Pacific Sea slab due to its serpentinization are the plausible cause of occurrence of such great devastating mega-thrust earthquakes in past (Mishra et al 2003 Mishra and Zhao 2004) as well the cause of the greatest mega-thrust earthquake (Mw 89) that rocked the NE Japan forearc on the 11th March 2011 Geological Survey of India have studied the record of the Japan mega-thrust earthquake of 11th march 2011 A team of seismologists from Geo-Seismology Division GSI (CHQ) Kolkata rushed to all three seismological observatories of Geological Survey of India located at Adampool Sikkim (273065N 885828E) Agartala Tripura (23865N 912975E) and Itanagar Arunachal Pradesh (270858N 935961E) to collect recorded seismograms of these events It is found that seismological observatories of GSI successfully recorded the event whilst the estimate of earthquake location by the team suggests that the recorded event corresponds to the mainshock earthquake The observatories of GSI recorded the mainshock with magnitude Ms 81 The location by multi-station method using the recorded seismograms by all of three above mentioned seismograph stations ascribed to GSI gives acceptable parameters of location of the mainshock with poor constraints on its depth because of its outside occurrence from the seismic network used in our location
Sikkim Earthquake 18 September 2011 A shallow focus (depth 197 km USGS) earthquake measuring 68 on the Richter scale with its epicentre near the Sikkim - Nepal border (27730N 88080E 68 km NW of Gangtok Sikkim India) shook the Northeast and large parts of northern and eastern India on Sunday evening (18hrs 10 minutes 47 seconds of 18092011) The Earthquake tremors were widely felt for about 15 seconds in Sikkim Assam parts of West Bengal Jharkhand Bihar Uttar Pradesh Delhi and Rajasthan India Meteorological Department reported three aftershocks of magnitude 57 51 and 46 which were also felt in Sikkim In the Eastern Himalayan Region the Indian plate converges into Tibetan plate at a rate of approximately 50 mmyr towards the north-northeast The seismic observatories of GSI recorded the said events The Sikkim Himalaya and adjoining area experienced a number of earthquakes the last major earthquake the area experienced is that of 57 magnitudes on 14 February 2006 The following figure indicate the epicentre of all earthquakes having magnitude gt 4 Mb recorded in the region from 1964 to 2009 and the location of the 18th September 2011 earthquake The preliminary focal mechanism of the earthquake (USGS) suggests strike slip faulting as revealed by the

ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE OF GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA
AFTER HPC 2009 IMPLEMENTATION
The HPC recommended a statutory status to GSI which would on the one hand give it the requisite autonomy and status and allow it to function commercially where required and on the other hand give it statutory authority with regard to survey exploration data acquisition and management Till such time considering its long and distinguished history and its pre-eminence in the field of geoscience and for administrative reason the HPC recommended that GSI should be made an lsquoAttached Officersquo rather than be classified as a lsquoSubordinate Officersquo for greater functional autonomy and because of aspirations created by the nature of GSIrsquos work and its place in the national geoscientific firmament The Government has considered the recommendations of the HPC and also approved the grant of Attached Office status to the GSI in the Ministry of Mines Accordingly the Geological Survey of India is now an Attached Office in the Ministry of Mines Government of India with its headquarters in Kolkata The Geological Survey of India is now formally an attached office of the Ministry of Mines Till July 2009 it was a subordinate office and its upgradation follows recommendation of a High Powered Committee set up in 2008 The organizational structure of GSI is undergoing changes commensurate with its new-found status The organizational structure of GSI is already substantially oriented to meet the needs of specialization as well as multidisciplinary study The Union Cabinet constituted a High Powered Committee (HPC) to thoroughly review the functioning of Geological Survey of India and assess its capacity to meet the emerging challenges taking into account the technological and manpower resources of the organization The report of the committee had been submitted and accepted The revised organizational structure submitted by the Committee and accepted by Government is under the process of implementation GSIrsquos Field Season programmes of 2009-2010 and 2010-2012 are executed on Mission-Region Hybrid matrix

A tsunamigenic mega-thrust earthquake of magnitude Mw 89(USGS) rocked the east coast of Honshu (3832N 14237E) Japan on 11th March 2011 at 0546237 UTC at a depth of about 245 km beneath the ocean The earthquake was located about 130 km east of the Sendai and about 430 km northeast of Tokyo (USGS IRIS) The earthquake was so powerful that a killer tsunami wave was generated to a height of about 30 ndash 35 ft due to oceanbed upheaval which caused a huge devastation in the entire coastal belts of Miyagi Fukusima and Sendai city of Northeast Japan This is the greatest earthquake so far recorded in the history of Japan instrument seismology Maximum damage was reported by several agencies of Japan and overseas and attributed the damage mainly due to tsunami in the coastal belt of NE Japan and the subsequent fire that broke out due to strong shaking and tsunamis There is a report on leakage and nuclear emission at the nuclear reactor complex at Fukusima after the mega-thrust earthquake This earthquake was associated with tremendously high seismic moment that was capable to displace the original location of the northeast part of the Honshu Island as well as induce measurable change in the duration of day Seismotectonically the northeast Japan Forearc has very complex tectonic settings which has been surrounded by the lsquoRing of Firersquo The forearc region of northeast Japan is a region between Japan magmatic front and the Japan Trench a site of several great interplate damaging earthquakes in the past (Nagai et al 2001) due to continuous subduction of the oldest the coldest and the biggest Pacific Sea Plate beneath the Island Statistical analysis of earthquakes revealed that about 80 of earthquakes occur in the forearc region (Mishra 2004) Additionally Japan Island is highly vulnerable to all kinds of earthquakes of varying strengths because of existence of the four major and mobile tectonic plates (Pacific Sea Plate Philippines Sea Plate North American Sea Plate and Eurasian Sea Plate) beneath the Island The Island is associated with a series of transform faults and the spreading ridge It is worth to mention that the occurrence of such great devastating earthquakes is confined to the Forearc region of Northeast (NE) Japan for which a detailed 3-D seismic tomography outside the seismic network for the first time has already been assimilated from the Pacific coast to the Japan Trench using a large number of high-quality arrival times from sub-oceanic earthquakes that were well relocated with sP-depth phase data a novel technique by a scientist of Geological Survey of India during his research endeavour in Japan that led to an award of Doctor of Science (DSc) to Dr O P Mishra from the Geodynamics Research Centre Ehime University Japan The outstanding publications by Geological Survey of India Geo-Seismology Division CGD GSI (CHQ) Kolkata Mishra et al (2003) and Mishra and Zhao (2004) are given in the reference This detailed study on NE Japan forearc region demonstrated why and how the great mega-thrust tsunamigenic and other past non-tsunamigenic earthquakes

occur beneath the ocean The study demarcated several high velocity zones and zones between low and high-velocity anomalies in the NE Japan Forearc suggesting probable locations for great megathrust earthquakes of magnitude greater than 70 beneath the forearc (Mishra et al 2003) The region has already been associated with several past damaging interplate earthquakes having heterogeneous rupture dimensions that overlap one after another (Nagai et al 2001 Mishra et al 2003) The study revealed that varying degree of interplate seismic coupling strong heterogeneties dehydration embrittlement and continuous weakening of the subducting Pacific Sea slab due to its serpentinization are the plausible cause of occurrence of such great devastating mega-thrust earthquakes in past (Mishra et al 2003 Mishra and Zhao 2004) as well the cause of the greatest mega-thrust earthquake (Mw 89) that rocked the NE Japan forearc on the 11th March 2011 Geological Survey of India have studied the record of the Japan mega-thrust earthquake of 11th march 2011 A team of seismologists from Geo-Seismology Division GSI (CHQ) Kolkata rushed to all three seismological observatories of Geological Survey of India located at Adampool Sikkim (273065N 885828E) Agartala Tripura (23865N 912975E) and Itanagar Arunachal Pradesh (270858N 935961E) to collect recorded seismograms of these events It is found that seismological observatories of GSI successfully recorded the event whilst the estimate of earthquake location by the team suggests that the recorded event corresponds to the mainshock earthquake The observatories of GSI recorded the mainshock with magnitude Ms 81 The location by multi-station method using the recorded seismograms by all of three above mentioned seismograph stations ascribed to GSI gives acceptable parameters of location of the mainshock with poor constraints on its depth because of its outside occurrence from the seismic network used in our location
Sikkim Earthquake 18 September 2011 A shallow focus (depth 197 km USGS) earthquake measuring 68 on the Richter scale with its epicentre near the Sikkim - Nepal border (27730N 88080E 68 km NW of Gangtok Sikkim India) shook the Northeast and large parts of northern and eastern India on Sunday evening (18hrs 10 minutes 47 seconds of 18092011) The Earthquake tremors were widely felt for about 15 seconds in Sikkim Assam parts of West Bengal Jharkhand Bihar Uttar Pradesh Delhi and Rajasthan India Meteorological Department reported three aftershocks of magnitude 57 51 and 46 which were also felt in Sikkim In the Eastern Himalayan Region the Indian plate converges into Tibetan plate at a rate of approximately 50 mmyr towards the north-northeast The seismic observatories of GSI recorded the said events The Sikkim Himalaya and adjoining area experienced a number of earthquakes the last major earthquake the area experienced is that of 57 magnitudes on 14 February 2006 The following figure indicate the epicentre of all earthquakes having magnitude gt 4 Mb recorded in the region from 1964 to 2009 and the location of the 18th September 2011 earthquake The preliminary focal mechanism of the earthquake (USGS) suggests strike slip faulting as revealed by the

THE 11th MARCH 2011 GREAT MEGA THRUST JAPAN EARTHQUAKE (MW 89)
A tsunamigenic mega-thrust earthquake of magnitude Mw 89(USGS) rocked the east coast of Honshu (3832N 14237E) Japan on 11th March 2011 at 0546237 UTC at a depth of about 245 km beneath the ocean The earthquake was located about 130 km east of the Sendai and about 430 km northeast of Tokyo (USGS IRIS) The earthquake was so powerful that a killer tsunami wave was generated to a height of about 30 ndash 35 ft due to oceanbed upheaval which caused a huge devastation in the entire coastal belts of Miyagi Fukusima and Sendai city of Northeast Japan This is the greatest earthquake so far recorded in the history of Japan instrument seismology Maximum damage was reported by several agencies of Japan and overseas and attributed the damage mainly due to tsunami in the coastal belt of NE Japan and the subsequent fire that broke out due to strong shaking and tsunamis There is a report on leakage and nuclear emission at the nuclear reactor complex at Fukusima after the mega-thrust earthquake This earthquake was associated with tremendously high seismic moment that was capable to displace the original location of the northeast part of the Honshu Island as well as induce measurable change in the duration of day Seismotectonically the northeast Japan Forearc has very complex tectonic settings which has been surrounded by the lsquoRing of Firersquo The forearc region of northeast Japan is a region between Japan magmatic front and the Japan Trench a site of several great interplate damaging earthquakes in the past (Nagai et al 2001) due to continuous subduction of the oldest the coldest and the biggest Pacific Sea Plate beneath the Island Statistical analysis of earthquakes revealed that about 80 of earthquakes occur in the forearc region (Mishra 2004) Additionally Japan Island is highly vulnerable to all kinds of earthquakes of varying strengths because of existence of the four major and mobile tectonic plates (Pacific Sea Plate Philippines Sea Plate North American Sea Plate and Eurasian Sea Plate) beneath the Island The Island is associated with a series of transform faults and the spreading ridge It is worth to mention that the occurrence of such great devastating earthquakes is confined to the Forearc region of Northeast (NE) Japan for which a detailed 3-D seismic tomography outside the seismic network for the first time has already been assimilated from the Pacific coast to the Japan Trench using a large number of high-quality arrival times from sub-oceanic earthquakes that were well relocated with sP-depth phase data a novel technique by a scientist of Geological Survey of India during his research endeavour in Japan that led to an award of Doctor of Science (DSc) to Dr O P Mishra from the Geodynamics Research Centre Ehime University Japan The outstanding publications by Geological Survey of India Geo-Seismology Division CGD GSI (CHQ) Kolkata Mishra et al (2003) and Mishra and Zhao (2004) are given in the reference This detailed study on NE Japan forearc region demonstrated why and how the great mega-thrust tsunamigenic and other past non-tsunamigenic earthquakes

occur beneath the ocean The study demarcated several high velocity zones and zones between low and high-velocity anomalies in the NE Japan Forearc suggesting probable locations for great megathrust earthquakes of magnitude greater than 70 beneath the forearc (Mishra et al 2003) The region has already been associated with several past damaging interplate earthquakes having heterogeneous rupture dimensions that overlap one after another (Nagai et al 2001 Mishra et al 2003) The study revealed that varying degree of interplate seismic coupling strong heterogeneties dehydration embrittlement and continuous weakening of the subducting Pacific Sea slab due to its serpentinization are the plausible cause of occurrence of such great devastating mega-thrust earthquakes in past (Mishra et al 2003 Mishra and Zhao 2004) as well the cause of the greatest mega-thrust earthquake (Mw 89) that rocked the NE Japan forearc on the 11th March 2011 Geological Survey of India have studied the record of the Japan mega-thrust earthquake of 11th march 2011 A team of seismologists from Geo-Seismology Division GSI (CHQ) Kolkata rushed to all three seismological observatories of Geological Survey of India located at Adampool Sikkim (273065N 885828E) Agartala Tripura (23865N 912975E) and Itanagar Arunachal Pradesh (270858N 935961E) to collect recorded seismograms of these events It is found that seismological observatories of GSI successfully recorded the event whilst the estimate of earthquake location by the team suggests that the recorded event corresponds to the mainshock earthquake The observatories of GSI recorded the mainshock with magnitude Ms 81 The location by multi-station method using the recorded seismograms by all of three above mentioned seismograph stations ascribed to GSI gives acceptable parameters of location of the mainshock with poor constraints on its depth because of its outside occurrence from the seismic network used in our location
Sikkim Earthquake 18 September 2011 A shallow focus (depth 197 km USGS) earthquake measuring 68 on the Richter scale with its epicentre near the Sikkim - Nepal border (27730N 88080E 68 km NW of Gangtok Sikkim India) shook the Northeast and large parts of northern and eastern India on Sunday evening (18hrs 10 minutes 47 seconds of 18092011) The Earthquake tremors were widely felt for about 15 seconds in Sikkim Assam parts of West Bengal Jharkhand Bihar Uttar Pradesh Delhi and Rajasthan India Meteorological Department reported three aftershocks of magnitude 57 51 and 46 which were also felt in Sikkim In the Eastern Himalayan Region the Indian plate converges into Tibetan plate at a rate of approximately 50 mmyr towards the north-northeast The seismic observatories of GSI recorded the said events The Sikkim Himalaya and adjoining area experienced a number of earthquakes the last major earthquake the area experienced is that of 57 magnitudes on 14 February 2006 The following figure indicate the epicentre of all earthquakes having magnitude gt 4 Mb recorded in the region from 1964 to 2009 and the location of the 18th September 2011 earthquake The preliminary focal mechanism of the earthquake (USGS) suggests strike slip faulting as revealed by the

focal plane solution Preliminary Press Report indicates that at least 18 people have reportedly been killed 13 in India and five in Nepal and over 100 are injured after the earthquake mainly due to houses collapsing Strong tremors were also felt in parts of North and East India and parts of Bangladesh and Nepal triggering widespread panic in different parts of Eastern and North east part of India Mobile phones and power supply were disrupted in Sikkim Bihar Jharkhand and parts of West Bengal The earthquake tremors coupled with heavy rain fall causes rock fall and consequent blockade of important road corridors in Sikkim and Darjeeling Hills Many buildings in Sikkim and Darjeeling hill developed cracks Key roads to the Hills have been badly damaged Roads also reportedly cracked in several places and residents ran out on the streets in Nepal three casualties were reported from Kathmandu where the British embassy collapsed and smashed a car
Rangrik landslide Lahul-Spiti District Himachal Pradesh
The landslide which occurred on 28th July 2009 is located ~2 Km SE of village Rangrik The landslide is about 300m long 200m wide and 35m deep The hill slopes where slide occurred are covered by weathered to highly weathered dolomite with carbonaceous shale partings overlain by overburden material The joint patterns recorded are 35deg-50deg dip due N50deg-65degE
BARREN VOLCANO IN JANUARY 2011
The Barren Volcano (120 29 N 930 85 E) the volcano in the Indian subcontinent is active since May 2005 The eruption is still continuing with a lesser intensity The eruption is pulsative and explosive type (strombolian) where thick columns of dense ash laden steam with coarser pyroclasts (cinders juvenile lava blocks) were ejecting out at 2 to 8 minutes interval The eruption was continuing from two vents on the parasitic crater The parasitic crater had developed over a subsidiary cinder cone (~ 500 m high) where the later developed over the southern wall of the main cinder cone of 1991-95 eruption Coarser incandescent pyroclasts in the form of blocks spatter cinders were ballastically ejecting out sub vertically for about 100-150 m height and were falling down along the slope of volcanic cone The shape and height of the cinder cone as well in the caldera valley has changed
8
There are changes in the shape and height of the cinder cone as well in the caldera valley The height of the cinder cone had increased from ~ 350 m in 2005 to ~ 500 m in 2011 The main approach valley to the centre of the island situated at the western part was covered totally by a thick pile of repetitive sequence of assorted pyroclasts and lava of recent eruption in the NNW part ( see picture )

THE 11th MARCH 2011 GREAT MEGA THRUST JAPAN EARTHQUAKE (MW 89)
A tsunamigenic mega-thrust earthquake of magnitude Mw 89(USGS) rocked the east coast of Honshu (3832N 14237E) Japan on 11th March 2011 at 0546237 UTC at a depth of about 245 km beneath the ocean The earthquake was located about 130 km east of the Sendai and about 430 km northeast of Tokyo (USGS IRIS) The earthquake was so powerful that a killer tsunami wave was generated to a height of about 30 ndash 35 ft due to oceanbed upheaval which caused a huge devastation in the entire coastal belts of Miyagi Fukusima and Sendai city of Northeast Japan This is the greatest earthquake so far recorded in the history of Japan instrument seismology Maximum damage was reported by several agencies of Japan and overseas and attributed the damage mainly due to tsunami in the coastal belt of NE Japan and the subsequent fire that broke out due to strong shaking and tsunamis There is a report on leakage and nuclear emission at the nuclear reactor complex at Fukusima after the mega-thrust earthquake This earthquake was associated with tremendously high seismic moment that was capable to displace the original location of the northeast part of the Honshu Island as well as induce measurable change in the duration of day Seismotectonically the northeast Japan Forearc has very complex tectonic settings which has been surrounded by the lsquoRing of Firersquo The forearc region of northeast Japan is a region between Japan magmatic front and the Japan Trench a site of several great interplate damaging earthquakes in the past (Nagai et al 2001) due to continuous subduction of the oldest the coldest and the biggest Pacific Sea Plate beneath the Island Statistical analysis of earthquakes revealed that about 80 of earthquakes occur in the forearc region (Mishra 2004) Additionally Japan Island is highly vulnerable to all kinds of earthquakes of varying strengths because of existence of the four major and mobile tectonic plates (Pacific Sea Plate Philippines Sea Plate North American Sea Plate and Eurasian Sea Plate) beneath the Island The Island is associated with a series of transform faults and the spreading ridge It is worth to mention that the occurrence of such great devastating earthquakes is confined to the Forearc region of Northeast (NE) Japan for which a detailed 3-D seismic tomography outside the seismic network for the first time has already been assimilated from the Pacific coast to the Japan Trench using a large number of high-quality arrival times from sub-oceanic earthquakes that were well relocated with sP-depth phase data a novel technique by a scientist of Geological Survey of India during his research endeavour in Japan that led to an award of Doctor of Science (DSc) to Dr O P Mishra from the Geodynamics Research Centre Ehime University Japan The outstanding publications by Geological Survey of India Geo-Seismology Division CGD GSI (CHQ) Kolkata Mishra et al (2003) and Mishra and Zhao (2004) are given in the reference This detailed study on NE Japan forearc region demonstrated why and how the great mega-thrust tsunamigenic and other past non-tsunamigenic earthquakes
6
occur beneath the ocean The study demarcated several high velocity zones and zones between low and high-velocity anomalies in the NE Japan Forearc suggesting probable locations for great megathrust earthquakes of magnitude greater than 70 beneath the forearc (Mishra et al 2003) The region has already been associated with several past damaging interplate earthquakes having heterogeneous rupture dimensions that overlap one after another (Nagai et al 2001 Mishra et al 2003) The study revealed that varying degree of interplate seismic coupling strong heterogeneties dehydration embrittlement and continuous weakening of the subducting Pacific Sea slab due to its serpentinization are the plausible cause of occurrence of such great devastating mega-thrust earthquakes in past (Mishra et al 2003 Mishra and Zhao 2004) as well the cause of the greatest mega-thrust earthquake (Mw 89) that rocked the NE Japan forearc on the 11th March 2011 Geological Survey of India have studied the record of the Japan mega-thrust earthquake of 11th march 2011 A team of seismologists from Geo-Seismology Division GSI (CHQ) Kolkata rushed to all three seismological observatories of Geological Survey of India located at Adampool Sikkim (273065N 885828E) Agartala Tripura (23865N 912975E) and Itanagar Arunachal Pradesh (270858N 935961E) to collect recorded seismograms of these events It is found that seismological observatories of GSI successfully recorded the event whilst the estimate of earthquake location by the team suggests that the recorded event corresponds to the mainshock earthquake The observatories of GSI recorded the mainshock with magnitude Ms 81 The location by multi-station method using the recorded seismograms by all of three above mentioned seismograph stations ascribed to GSI gives acceptable parameters of location of the mainshock with poor constraints on its depth because of its outside occurrence from the seismic network used in our location
Sikkim Earthquake 18 September 2011 A shallow focus (depth 197 km USGS) earthquake measuring 68 on the Richter scale with its epicentre near the Sikkim - Nepal border (27730N 88080E 68 km NW of Gangtok Sikkim India) shook the Northeast and large parts of northern and eastern India on Sunday evening (18hrs 10 minutes 47 seconds of 18092011) The Earthquake tremors were widely felt for about 15 seconds in Sikkim Assam parts of West Bengal Jharkhand Bihar Uttar Pradesh Delhi and Rajasthan India Meteorological Department reported three aftershocks of magnitude 57 51 and 46 which were also felt in Sikkim In the Eastern Himalayan Region the Indian plate converges into Tibetan plate at a rate of approximately 50 mmyr towards the north-northeast The seismic observatories of GSI recorded the said events The Sikkim Himalaya and adjoining area experienced a number of earthquakes the last major earthquake the area experienced is that of 57 magnitudes on 14 February 2006 The following figure indicate the epicentre of all earthquakes having magnitude gt 4 Mb recorded in the region from 1964 to 2009 and the location of the 18th September 2011 earthquake The preliminary focal mechanism of the earthquake (USGS) suggests strike slip faulting as revealed by the

focal plane solution Preliminary Press Report indicates that at least 18 people have reportedly been killed 13 in India and five in Nepal and over 100 are injured after the earthquake mainly due to houses collapsing Strong tremors were also felt in parts of North and East India and parts of Bangladesh and Nepal triggering widespread panic in different parts of Eastern and North east part of India Mobile phones and power supply were disrupted in Sikkim Bihar Jharkhand and parts of West Bengal The earthquake tremors coupled with heavy rain fall causes rock fall and consequent blockade of important road corridors in Sikkim and Darjeeling Hills Many buildings in Sikkim and Darjeeling hill developed cracks Key roads to the Hills have been badly damaged Roads also reportedly cracked in several places and residents ran out on the streets in Nepal three casualties were reported from Kathmandu where the British embassy collapsed and smashed a car

NATURErsquoS FURY EARTHQUAKE AT THE INDO-BURMA BORDER (251780N AND 940740E) A major earthquake (Mw 66) rocked at 13 hrs 53 minutes and 4476 seconds UTC on 04th February 2011 at the Indo-Burma border region (251780N and 940740E) The earthquake occurred in the vicinity of Tapu Fault between Kohima and Imphal in India and was felt in many provinces of North-Eastern part of India Bangladesh and Myanmar The event was recorded at three permanent seismic observatories of GSI at Adampool (East Sikkim) Agartala (Tripura) and Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh) The earthquake is plotted on the regional tectonic map of NE India and its surrounding region It falls in the vicinity of Tapu Thrust It was interpreted that the event occurred as a result of thrust faulting

THE 11th MARCH 2011 GREAT MEGA THRUST JAPAN EARTHQUAKE (MW 89)
A tsunamigenic mega-thrust earthquake of magnitude Mw 89(USGS) rocked the east coast of Honshu (3832N 14237E) Japan on 11th March 2011 at 0546237 UTC at a depth of about 245 km beneath the ocean The earthquake was located about 130 km east of the Sendai and about 430 km northeast of Tokyo (USGS IRIS) The earthquake was so powerful that a killer tsunami wave was generated to a height of about 30 ndash 35 ft due to oceanbed upheaval which caused a huge devastation in the entire coastal belts of Miyagi Fukusima and Sendai city of Northeast Japan This is the greatest earthquake so far recorded in the history of Japan instrument seismology Maximum damage was reported by several agencies of Japan and overseas and attributed the damage mainly due to tsunami in the coastal belt of NE Japan and the subsequent fire that broke out due to strong shaking and tsunamis There is a report on leakage and nuclear emission at the nuclear reactor complex at Fukusima after the mega-thrust earthquake This earthquake was associated with tremendously high seismic moment that was capable to displace the original location of the northeast part of the Honshu Island as well as induce measurable change in the duration of day Seismotectonically the northeast Japan Forearc has very complex tectonic settings which has been surrounded by the lsquoRing of Firersquo The forearc region of northeast Japan is a region between Japan magmatic front and the Japan Trench a site of several great interplate damaging earthquakes in the past (Nagai et al 2001) due to continuous subduction of the oldest the coldest and the biggest Pacific Sea Plate beneath the Island Statistical analysis of earthquakes revealed that about 80 of earthquakes occur in the forearc region (Mishra 2004) Additionally Japan Island is highly vulnerable to all kinds of earthquakes of varying strengths because of existence of the four major and mobile tectonic plates (Pacific Sea Plate Philippines Sea Plate North American Sea Plate and Eurasian Sea Plate) beneath the Island The Island is associated with a series of transform faults and the spreading ridge It is worth to mention that the occurrence of such great devastating earthquakes is confined to the Forearc region of Northeast (NE) Japan for which a detailed 3-D seismic tomography outside the seismic network for the first time has already been assimilated from the Pacific coast to the Japan Trench using a large number of high-quality arrival times from sub-oceanic earthquakes that were well relocated with sP-depth phase data a novel technique by a scientist of Geological Survey of India during his research endeavour in Japan that led to an award of Doctor of Science (DSc) to Dr O P Mishra from the Geodynamics Research Centre Ehime University Japan The outstanding publications by Geological Survey of India Geo-Seismology Division CGD GSI (CHQ) Kolkata Mishra et al (2003) and Mishra and Zhao (2004) are given in the reference This detailed study on NE Japan forearc region demonstrated why and how the great mega-thrust tsunamigenic and other past non-tsunamigenic earthquakes

occur beneath the ocean The study demarcated several high velocity zones and zones between low and high-velocity anomalies in the NE Japan Forearc suggesting probable locations for great megathrust earthquakes of magnitude greater than 70 beneath the forearc (Mishra et al 2003) The region has already been associated with several past damaging interplate earthquakes having heterogeneous rupture dimensions that overlap one after another (Nagai et al 2001 Mishra et al 2003) The study revealed that varying degree of interplate seismic coupling strong heterogeneties dehydration embrittlement and continuous weakening of the subducting Pacific Sea slab due to its serpentinization are the plausible cause of occurrence of such great devastating mega-thrust earthquakes in past (Mishra et al 2003 Mishra and Zhao 2004) as well the cause of the greatest mega-thrust earthquake (Mw 89) that rocked the NE Japan forearc on the 11th March 2011 Geological Survey of India have studied the record of the Japan mega-thrust earthquake of 11th march 2011 A team of seismologists from Geo-Seismology Division GSI (CHQ) Kolkata rushed to all three seismological observatories of Geological Survey of India located at Adampool Sikkim (273065N 885828E) Agartala Tripura (23865N 912975E) and Itanagar Arunachal Pradesh (270858N 935961E) to collect recorded seismograms of these events It is found that seismological observatories of GSI successfully recorded the event whilst the estimate of earthquake location by the team suggests that the recorded event corresponds to the mainshock earthquake The observatories of GSI recorded the mainshock with magnitude Ms 81 The location by multi-station method using the recorded seismograms by all of three above mentioned seismograph stations ascribed to GSI gives acceptable parameters of location of the mainshock with poor constraints on its depth because of its outside occurrence from the seismic network used in our location
Sikkim Earthquake 18 September 2011 A shallow focus (depth 197 km USGS) earthquake measuring 68 on the Richter scale with its epicentre near the Sikkim - Nepal border (27730N 88080E 68 km NW of Gangtok Sikkim India) shook the Northeast and large parts of northern and eastern India on Sunday evening (18hrs 10 minutes 47 seconds of 18092011) The Earthquake tremors were widely felt for about 15 seconds in Sikkim Assam parts of West Bengal Jharkhand Bihar Uttar Pradesh Delhi and Rajasthan India Meteorological Department reported three aftershocks of magnitude 57 51 and 46 which were also felt in Sikkim In the Eastern Himalayan Region the Indian plate converges into Tibetan plate at a rate of approximately 50 mmyr towards the north-northeast The seismic observatories of GSI recorded the said events The Sikkim Himalaya and adjoining area experienced a number of earthquakes the last major earthquake the area experienced is that of 57 magnitudes on 14 February 2006 The following figure indicate the epicentre of all earthquakes having magnitude gt 4 Mb recorded in the region from 1964 to 2009 and the location of the 18th September 2011 earthquake The preliminary focal mechanism of the earthquake (USGS) suggests strike slip faulting as revealed by the

THE 11th MARCH 2011 GREAT MEGA THRUST JAPAN EARTHQUAKE (MW 89)
A tsunamigenic mega-thrust earthquake of magnitude Mw 89(USGS) rocked the east coast of Honshu (3832N 14237E) Japan on 11th March 2011 at 0546237 UTC at a depth of about 245 km beneath the ocean The earthquake was located about 130 km east of the Sendai and about 430 km northeast of Tokyo (USGS IRIS) The earthquake was so powerful that a killer tsunami wave was generated to a height of about 30 ndash 35 ft due to oceanbed upheaval which caused a huge devastation in the entire coastal belts of Miyagi Fukusima and Sendai city of Northeast Japan This is the greatest earthquake so far recorded in the history of Japan instrument seismology Maximum damage was reported by several agencies of Japan and overseas and attributed the damage mainly due to tsunami in the coastal belt of NE Japan and the subsequent fire that broke out due to strong shaking and tsunamis There is a report on leakage and nuclear emission at the nuclear reactor complex at Fukusima after the mega-thrust earthquake This earthquake was associated with tremendously high seismic moment that was capable to displace the original location of the northeast part of the Honshu Island as well as induce measurable change in the duration of day Seismotectonically the northeast Japan Forearc has very complex tectonic settings which has been surrounded by the lsquoRing of Firersquo The forearc region of northeast Japan is a region between Japan magmatic front and the Japan Trench a site of several great interplate damaging earthquakes in the past (Nagai et al 2001) due to continuous subduction of the oldest the coldest and the biggest Pacific Sea Plate beneath the Island Statistical analysis of earthquakes revealed that about 80 of earthquakes occur in the forearc region (Mishra 2004) Additionally Japan Island is highly vulnerable to all kinds of earthquakes of varying strengths because of existence of the four major and mobile tectonic plates (Pacific Sea Plate Philippines Sea Plate North American Sea Plate and Eurasian Sea Plate) beneath the Island The Island is associated with a series of transform faults and the spreading ridge It is worth to mention that the occurrence of such great devastating earthquakes is confined to the Forearc region of Northeast (NE) Japan for which a detailed 3-D seismic tomography outside the seismic network for the first time has already been assimilated from the Pacific coast to the Japan Trench using a large number of high-quality arrival times from sub-oceanic earthquakes that were well relocated with sP-depth phase data a novel technique by a scientist of Geological Survey of India during his research endeavour in Japan that led to an award of Doctor of Science (DSc) to Dr O P Mishra from the Geodynamics Research Centre Ehime University Japan The outstanding publications by Geological Survey of India Geo-Seismology Division CGD GSI (CHQ) Kolkata Mishra et al (2003) and Mishra and Zhao (2004) are given in the reference This detailed study on NE Japan forearc region demonstrated why and how the great mega-thrust tsunamigenic and other past non-tsunamigenic earthquakes

occur beneath the ocean The study demarcated several high velocity zones and zones between low and high-velocity anomalies in the NE Japan Forearc suggesting probable locations for great megathrust earthquakes of magnitude greater than 70 beneath the forearc (Mishra et al 2003) The region has already been associated with several past damaging interplate earthquakes having heterogeneous rupture dimensions that overlap one after another (Nagai et al 2001 Mishra et al 2003) The study revealed that varying degree of interplate seismic coupling strong heterogeneties dehydration embrittlement and continuous weakening of the subducting Pacific Sea slab due to its serpentinization are the plausible cause of occurrence of such great devastating mega-thrust earthquakes in past (Mishra et al 2003 Mishra and Zhao 2004) as well the cause of the greatest mega-thrust earthquake (Mw 89) that rocked the NE Japan forearc on the 11th March 2011 Geological Survey of India have studied the record of the Japan mega-thrust earthquake of 11th march 2011 A team of seismologists from Geo-Seismology Division GSI (CHQ) Kolkata rushed to all three seismological observatories of Geological Survey of India located at Adampool Sikkim (273065N 885828E) Agartala Tripura (23865N 912975E) and Itanagar Arunachal Pradesh (270858N 935961E) to collect recorded seismograms of these events It is found that seismological observatories of GSI successfully recorded the event whilst the estimate of earthquake location by the team suggests that the recorded event corresponds to the mainshock earthquake The observatories of GSI recorded the mainshock with magnitude Ms 81 The location by multi-station method using the recorded seismograms by all of three above mentioned seismograph stations ascribed to GSI gives acceptable parameters of location of the mainshock with poor constraints on its depth because of its outside occurrence from the seismic network used in our location
Sikkim Earthquake 18 September 2011 A shallow focus (depth 197 km USGS) earthquake measuring 68 on the Richter scale with its epicentre near the Sikkim - Nepal border (27730N 88080E 68 km NW of Gangtok Sikkim India) shook the Northeast and large parts of northern and eastern India on Sunday evening (18hrs 10 minutes 47 seconds of 18092011) The Earthquake tremors were widely felt for about 15 seconds in Sikkim Assam parts of West Bengal Jharkhand Bihar Uttar Pradesh Delhi and Rajasthan India Meteorological Department reported three aftershocks of magnitude 57 51 and 46 which were also felt in Sikkim In the Eastern Himalayan Region the Indian plate converges into Tibetan plate at a rate of approximately 50 mmyr towards the north-northeast The seismic observatories of GSI recorded the said events The Sikkim Himalaya and adjoining area experienced a number of earthquakes the last major earthquake the area experienced is that of 57 magnitudes on 14 February 2006 The following figure indicate the epicentre of all earthquakes having magnitude gt 4 Mb recorded in the region from 1964 to 2009 and the location of the 18th September 2011 earthquake The preliminary focal mechanism of the earthquake (USGS) suggests strike slip faulting as revealed by the

focal plane solution Preliminary Press Report indicates that at least 18 people have reportedly been killed 13 in India and five in Nepal and over 100 are injured after the earthquake mainly due to houses collapsing Strong tremors were also felt in parts of North and East India and parts of Bangladesh and Nepal triggering widespread panic in different parts of Eastern and North east part of India Mobile phones and power supply were disrupted in Sikkim Bihar Jharkhand and parts of West Bengal The earthquake tremors coupled with heavy rain fall causes rock fall and consequent blockade of important road corridors in Sikkim and Darjeeling Hills Many buildings in Sikkim and Darjeeling hill developed cracks Key roads to the Hills have been badly damaged Roads also reportedly cracked in several places and residents ran out on the streets in Nepal three casualties were reported from Kathmandu where the British embassy collapsed and smashed a car
Rangrik landslide Lahul-Spiti District Himachal Pradesh
The landslide which occurred on 28th July 2009 is located ~2 Km SE of village Rangrik The landslide is about 300m long 200m wide and 35m deep The hill slopes where slide occurred are covered by weathered to highly weathered dolomite with carbonaceous shale partings overlain by overburden material The joint patterns recorded are 35deg-50deg dip due N50deg-65degE
BARREN VOLCANO IN JANUARY 2011
The Barren Volcano (120 29 N 930 85 E) the volcano in the Indian subcontinent is active since May 2005 The eruption is still continuing with a lesser intensity The eruption is pulsative and explosive type (strombolian) where thick columns of dense ash laden steam with coarser pyroclasts (cinders juvenile lava blocks) were ejecting out at 2 to 8 minutes interval The eruption was continuing from two vents on the parasitic crater The parasitic crater had developed over a subsidiary cinder cone (~ 500 m high) where the later developed over the southern wall of the main cinder cone of 1991-95 eruption Coarser incandescent pyroclasts in the form of blocks spatter cinders were ballastically ejecting out sub vertically for about 100-150 m height and were falling down along the slope of volcanic cone The shape and height of the cinder cone as well in the caldera valley has changed

THE 11th MARCH 2011 GREAT MEGA THRUST JAPAN EARTHQUAKE (MW 89)
A tsunamigenic mega-thrust earthquake of magnitude Mw 89(USGS) rocked the east coast of Honshu (3832N 14237E) Japan on 11th March 2011 at 0546237 UTC at a depth of about 245 km beneath the ocean The earthquake was located about 130 km east of the Sendai and about 430 km northeast of Tokyo (USGS IRIS) The earthquake was so powerful that a killer tsunami wave was generated to a height of about 30 ndash 35 ft due to oceanbed upheaval which caused a huge devastation in the entire coastal belts of Miyagi Fukusima and Sendai city of Northeast Japan This is the greatest earthquake so far recorded in the history of Japan instrument seismology Maximum damage was reported by several agencies of Japan and overseas and attributed the damage mainly due to tsunami in the coastal belt of NE Japan and the subsequent fire that broke out due to strong shaking and tsunamis There is a report on leakage and nuclear emission at the nuclear reactor complex at Fukusima after the mega-thrust earthquake This earthquake was associated with tremendously high seismic moment that was capable to displace the original location of the northeast part of the Honshu Island as well as induce measurable change in the duration of day Seismotectonically the northeast Japan Forearc has very complex tectonic settings which has been surrounded by the lsquoRing of Firersquo The forearc region of northeast Japan is a region between Japan magmatic front and the Japan Trench a site of several great interplate damaging earthquakes in the past (Nagai et al 2001) due to continuous subduction of the oldest the coldest and the biggest Pacific Sea Plate beneath the Island Statistical analysis of earthquakes revealed that about 80 of earthquakes occur in the forearc region (Mishra 2004) Additionally Japan Island is highly vulnerable to all kinds of earthquakes of varying strengths because of existence of the four major and mobile tectonic plates (Pacific Sea Plate Philippines Sea Plate North American Sea Plate and Eurasian Sea Plate) beneath the Island The Island is associated with a series of transform faults and the spreading ridge It is worth to mention that the occurrence of such great devastating earthquakes is confined to the Forearc region of Northeast (NE) Japan for which a detailed 3-D seismic tomography outside the seismic network for the first time has already been assimilated from the Pacific coast to the Japan Trench using a large number of high-quality arrival times from sub-oceanic earthquakes that were well relocated with sP-depth phase data a novel technique by a scientist of Geological Survey of India during his research endeavour in Japan that led to an award of Doctor of Science (DSc) to Dr O P Mishra from the Geodynamics Research Centre Ehime University Japan The outstanding publications by Geological Survey of India Geo-Seismology Division CGD GSI (CHQ) Kolkata Mishra et al (2003) and Mishra and Zhao (2004) are given in the reference This detailed study on NE Japan forearc region demonstrated why and how the great mega-thrust tsunamigenic and other past non-tsunamigenic earthquakes
6
occur beneath the ocean The study demarcated several high velocity zones and zones between low and high-velocity anomalies in the NE Japan Forearc suggesting probable locations for great megathrust earthquakes of magnitude greater than 70 beneath the forearc (Mishra et al 2003) The region has already been associated with several past damaging interplate earthquakes having heterogeneous rupture dimensions that overlap one after another (Nagai et al 2001 Mishra et al 2003) The study revealed that varying degree of interplate seismic coupling strong heterogeneties dehydration embrittlement and continuous weakening of the subducting Pacific Sea slab due to its serpentinization are the plausible cause of occurrence of such great devastating mega-thrust earthquakes in past (Mishra et al 2003 Mishra and Zhao 2004) as well the cause of the greatest mega-thrust earthquake (Mw 89) that rocked the NE Japan forearc on the 11th March 2011 Geological Survey of India have studied the record of the Japan mega-thrust earthquake of 11th march 2011 A team of seismologists from Geo-Seismology Division GSI (CHQ) Kolkata rushed to all three seismological observatories of Geological Survey of India located at Adampool Sikkim (273065N 885828E) Agartala Tripura (23865N 912975E) and Itanagar Arunachal Pradesh (270858N 935961E) to collect recorded seismograms of these events It is found that seismological observatories of GSI successfully recorded the event whilst the estimate of earthquake location by the team suggests that the recorded event corresponds to the mainshock earthquake The observatories of GSI recorded the mainshock with magnitude Ms 81 The location by multi-station method using the recorded seismograms by all of three above mentioned seismograph stations ascribed to GSI gives acceptable parameters of location of the mainshock with poor constraints on its depth because of its outside occurrence from the seismic network used in our location
Sikkim Earthquake 18 September 2011 A shallow focus (depth 197 km USGS) earthquake measuring 68 on the Richter scale with its epicentre near the Sikkim - Nepal border (27730N 88080E 68 km NW of Gangtok Sikkim India) shook the Northeast and large parts of northern and eastern India on Sunday evening (18hrs 10 minutes 47 seconds of 18092011) The Earthquake tremors were widely felt for about 15 seconds in Sikkim Assam parts of West Bengal Jharkhand Bihar Uttar Pradesh Delhi and Rajasthan India Meteorological Department reported three aftershocks of magnitude 57 51 and 46 which were also felt in Sikkim In the Eastern Himalayan Region the Indian plate converges into Tibetan plate at a rate of approximately 50 mmyr towards the north-northeast The seismic observatories of GSI recorded the said events The Sikkim Himalaya and adjoining area experienced a number of earthquakes the last major earthquake the area experienced is that of 57 magnitudes on 14 February 2006 The following figure indicate the epicentre of all earthquakes having magnitude gt 4 Mb recorded in the region from 1964 to 2009 and the location of the 18th September 2011 earthquake The preliminary focal mechanism of the earthquake (USGS) suggests strike slip faulting as revealed by the

THE 11th MARCH 2011 GREAT MEGA THRUST JAPAN EARTHQUAKE (MW 89)
A tsunamigenic mega-thrust earthquake of magnitude Mw 89(USGS) rocked the east coast of Honshu (3832N 14237E) Japan on 11th March 2011 at 0546237 UTC at a depth of about 245 km beneath the ocean The earthquake was located about 130 km east of the Sendai and about 430 km northeast of Tokyo (USGS IRIS) The earthquake was so powerful that a killer tsunami wave was generated to a height of about 30 ndash 35 ft due to oceanbed upheaval which caused a huge devastation in the entire coastal belts of Miyagi Fukusima and Sendai city of Northeast Japan This is the greatest earthquake so far recorded in the history of Japan instrument seismology Maximum damage was reported by several agencies of Japan and overseas and attributed the damage mainly due to tsunami in the coastal belt of NE Japan and the subsequent fire that broke out due to strong shaking and tsunamis There is a report on leakage and nuclear emission at the nuclear reactor complex at Fukusima after the mega-thrust earthquake This earthquake was associated with tremendously high seismic moment that was capable to displace the original location of the northeast part of the Honshu Island as well as induce measurable change in the duration of day Seismotectonically the northeast Japan Forearc has very complex tectonic settings which has been surrounded by the lsquoRing of Firersquo The forearc region of northeast Japan is a region between Japan magmatic front and the Japan Trench a site of several great interplate damaging earthquakes in the past (Nagai et al 2001) due to continuous subduction of the oldest the coldest and the biggest Pacific Sea Plate beneath the Island Statistical analysis of earthquakes revealed that about 80 of earthquakes occur in the forearc region (Mishra 2004) Additionally Japan Island is highly vulnerable to all kinds of earthquakes of varying strengths because of existence of the four major and mobile tectonic plates (Pacific Sea Plate Philippines Sea Plate North American Sea Plate and Eurasian Sea Plate) beneath the Island The Island is associated with a series of transform faults and the spreading ridge It is worth to mention that the occurrence of such great devastating earthquakes is confined to the Forearc region of Northeast (NE) Japan for which a detailed 3-D seismic tomography outside the seismic network for the first time has already been assimilated from the Pacific coast to the Japan Trench using a large number of high-quality arrival times from sub-oceanic earthquakes that were well relocated with sP-depth phase data a novel technique by a scientist of Geological Survey of India during his research endeavour in Japan that led to an award of Doctor of Science (DSc) to Dr O P Mishra from the Geodynamics Research Centre Ehime University Japan The outstanding publications by Geological Survey of India Geo-Seismology Division CGD GSI (CHQ) Kolkata Mishra et al (2003) and Mishra and Zhao (2004) are given in the reference This detailed study on NE Japan forearc region demonstrated why and how the great mega-thrust tsunamigenic and other past non-tsunamigenic earthquakes
6
occur beneath the ocean The study demarcated several high velocity zones and zones between low and high-velocity anomalies in the NE Japan Forearc suggesting probable locations for great megathrust earthquakes of magnitude greater than 70 beneath the forearc (Mishra et al 2003) The region has already been associated with several past damaging interplate earthquakes having heterogeneous rupture dimensions that overlap one after another (Nagai et al 2001 Mishra et al 2003) The study revealed that varying degree of interplate seismic coupling strong heterogeneties dehydration embrittlement and continuous weakening of the subducting Pacific Sea slab due to its serpentinization are the plausible cause of occurrence of such great devastating mega-thrust earthquakes in past (Mishra et al 2003 Mishra and Zhao 2004) as well the cause of the greatest mega-thrust earthquake (Mw 89) that rocked the NE Japan forearc on the 11th March 2011 Geological Survey of India have studied the record of the Japan mega-thrust earthquake of 11th march 2011 A team of seismologists from Geo-Seismology Division GSI (CHQ) Kolkata rushed to all three seismological observatories of Geological Survey of India located at Adampool Sikkim (273065N 885828E) Agartala Tripura (23865N 912975E) and Itanagar Arunachal Pradesh (270858N 935961E) to collect recorded seismograms of these events It is found that seismological observatories of GSI successfully recorded the event whilst the estimate of earthquake location by the team suggests that the recorded event corresponds to the mainshock earthquake The observatories of GSI recorded the mainshock with magnitude Ms 81 The location by multi-station method using the recorded seismograms by all of three above mentioned seismograph stations ascribed to GSI gives acceptable parameters of location of the mainshock with poor constraints on its depth because of its outside occurrence from the seismic network used in our location
Sikkim Earthquake 18 September 2011 A shallow focus (depth 197 km USGS) earthquake measuring 68 on the Richter scale with its epicentre near the Sikkim - Nepal border (27730N 88080E 68 km NW of Gangtok Sikkim India) shook the Northeast and large parts of northern and eastern India on Sunday evening (18hrs 10 minutes 47 seconds of 18092011) The Earthquake tremors were widely felt for about 15 seconds in Sikkim Assam parts of West Bengal Jharkhand Bihar Uttar Pradesh Delhi and Rajasthan India Meteorological Department reported three aftershocks of magnitude 57 51 and 46 which were also felt in Sikkim In the Eastern Himalayan Region the Indian plate converges into Tibetan plate at a rate of approximately 50 mmyr towards the north-northeast The seismic observatories of GSI recorded the said events The Sikkim Himalaya and adjoining area experienced a number of earthquakes the last major earthquake the area experienced is that of 57 magnitudes on 14 February 2006 The following figure indicate the epicentre of all earthquakes having magnitude gt 4 Mb recorded in the region from 1964 to 2009 and the location of the 18th September 2011 earthquake The preliminary focal mechanism of the earthquake (USGS) suggests strike slip faulting as revealed by the

focal plane solution Preliminary Press Report indicates that at least 18 people have reportedly been killed 13 in India and five in Nepal and over 100 are injured after the earthquake mainly due to houses collapsing Strong tremors were also felt in parts of North and East India and parts of Bangladesh and Nepal triggering widespread panic in different parts of Eastern and North east part of India Mobile phones and power supply were disrupted in Sikkim Bihar Jharkhand and parts of West Bengal The earthquake tremors coupled with heavy rain fall causes rock fall and consequent blockade of important road corridors in Sikkim and Darjeeling Hills Many buildings in Sikkim and Darjeeling hill developed cracks Key roads to the Hills have been badly damaged Roads also reportedly cracked in several places and residents ran out on the streets in Nepal three casualties were reported from Kathmandu where the British embassy collapsed and smashed a car
Rangrik landslide Lahul-Spiti District Himachal Pradesh
The landslide which occurred on 28th July 2009 is located ~2 Km SE of village Rangrik The landslide is about 300m long 200m wide and 35m deep The hill slopes where slide occurred are covered by weathered to highly weathered dolomite with carbonaceous shale partings overlain by overburden material The joint patterns recorded are 35deg-50deg dip due N50deg-65degE
BARREN VOLCANO IN JANUARY 2011
The Barren Volcano (120 29 N 930 85 E) the volcano in the Indian subcontinent is active since May 2005 The eruption is still continuing with a lesser intensity The eruption is pulsative and explosive type (strombolian) where thick columns of dense ash laden steam with coarser pyroclasts (cinders juvenile lava blocks) were ejecting out at 2 to 8 minutes interval The eruption was continuing from two vents on the parasitic crater The parasitic crater had developed over a subsidiary cinder cone (~ 500 m high) where the later developed over the southern wall of the main cinder cone of 1991-95 eruption Coarser incandescent pyroclasts in the form of blocks spatter cinders were ballastically ejecting out sub vertically for about 100-150 m height and were falling down along the slope of volcanic cone The shape and height of the cinder cone as well in the caldera valley has changed
8
There are changes in the shape and height of the cinder cone as well in the caldera valley The height of the cinder cone had increased from ~ 350 m in 2005 to ~ 500 m in 2011 The main approach valley to the centre of the island situated at the western part was covered totally by a thick pile of repetitive sequence of assorted pyroclasts and lava of recent eruption in the NNW part ( see picture )

occur beneath the ocean The study demarcated several high velocity zones and zones between low and high-velocity anomalies in the NE Japan Forearc suggesting probable locations for great megathrust earthquakes of magnitude greater than 70 beneath the forearc (Mishra et al 2003) The region has already been associated with several past damaging interplate earthquakes having heterogeneous rupture dimensions that overlap one after another (Nagai et al 2001 Mishra et al 2003) The study revealed that varying degree of interplate seismic coupling strong heterogeneties dehydration embrittlement and continuous weakening of the subducting Pacific Sea slab due to its serpentinization are the plausible cause of occurrence of such great devastating mega-thrust earthquakes in past (Mishra et al 2003 Mishra and Zhao 2004) as well the cause of the greatest mega-thrust earthquake (Mw 89) that rocked the NE Japan forearc on the 11th March 2011 Geological Survey of India have studied the record of the Japan mega-thrust earthquake of 11th march 2011 A team of seismologists from Geo-Seismology Division GSI (CHQ) Kolkata rushed to all three seismological observatories of Geological Survey of India located at Adampool Sikkim (273065N 885828E) Agartala Tripura (23865N 912975E) and Itanagar Arunachal Pradesh (270858N 935961E) to collect recorded seismograms of these events It is found that seismological observatories of GSI successfully recorded the event whilst the estimate of earthquake location by the team suggests that the recorded event corresponds to the mainshock earthquake The observatories of GSI recorded the mainshock with magnitude Ms 81 The location by multi-station method using the recorded seismograms by all of three above mentioned seismograph stations ascribed to GSI gives acceptable parameters of location of the mainshock with poor constraints on its depth because of its outside occurrence from the seismic network used in our location
Sikkim Earthquake 18 September 2011 A shallow focus (depth 197 km USGS) earthquake measuring 68 on the Richter scale with its epicentre near the Sikkim - Nepal border (27730N 88080E 68 km NW of Gangtok Sikkim India) shook the Northeast and large parts of northern and eastern India on Sunday evening (18hrs 10 minutes 47 seconds of 18092011) The Earthquake tremors were widely felt for about 15 seconds in Sikkim Assam parts of West Bengal Jharkhand Bihar Uttar Pradesh Delhi and Rajasthan India Meteorological Department reported three aftershocks of magnitude 57 51 and 46 which were also felt in Sikkim In the Eastern Himalayan Region the Indian plate converges into Tibetan plate at a rate of approximately 50 mmyr towards the north-northeast The seismic observatories of GSI recorded the said events The Sikkim Himalaya and adjoining area experienced a number of earthquakes the last major earthquake the area experienced is that of 57 magnitudes on 14 February 2006 The following figure indicate the epicentre of all earthquakes having magnitude gt 4 Mb recorded in the region from 1964 to 2009 and the location of the 18th September 2011 earthquake The preliminary focal mechanism of the earthquake (USGS) suggests strike slip faulting as revealed by the
