Preface
The main Purpose of this seminar is:
Call for the Papers
North East India is geologically very active as it
is located in a unique geological setting i.e. collision tectonics in the north and subduction tectonics in the east. As
such this region has developed heterogeneity which is
manifested in terms of stratigraphic sequences, depositional environment, structural aspects, paleobiota, and
mineralization. This has also rendered the geoenvironment
of region fragile and prone to geohazards like earthquakes
and landslides. This small land has witnessed several devastating earthquakes, and landslides are quite common
particularly in the rainy seasons. Preparedness of the society for facing such disasters is of utmost important. Recently, oil exploration activities have gathered increased
momentum in the region. Occurrence of Uranium deposit
in the Khasi Hills has proved the potential of the region
for mineralization.
1.
Assessment of the present status of knowledge in
various aspects of sub-themes of the seminar
2.
Identification of the gap areas of research in terms
of global status
3.
Identification of thrust areas of research with special reference to Northeastern region.
Research papers are invited from academician,
researcher and geologists from the universities, college,
research institutes and industries covering major theme and
sub-themes of the seminar. Arrangement shall be made for
oral as well as poster presentation. Interested candidates are
request to submit the registration form with abstract. The
abstract can be mailed on or before 25th September, 2014
and the full paper on or before 15th October, 2014 to
geologypucollege@gmail.com / bubulearth@gmail.com.
Printed version of the full paper can be sent to Bubul
Bharali, Dept. of Geology, Pachhunga University College, Aizawl-796001, Mizoram. Intimation for the acceptance of paper will be sent through mail. Proceedings shall
be published containing selected papers after peer review.
Geo-scientific community of the country from
the research institutions, industry, universities and colleges is actively involved in understanding the processes
responsible for such heterogeneity and in exploring the
geological resources of the region and in assessing the
potential of the region for geo-hazards. As a result, a large
dataset has been generated covering various aspects of
earth sciences including tectonics, geo-hazards, mineralization and exploration of oil and gas. The basic aim of this
seminar is to provide a common platform to the geoscientific community of the country in general and from
the Northeast in particular to present and discussion their
research findings, assess the present status, find the gapareas and strategies future course of the actions for better
and comprehensive understanding of the geo-environment
of the region.
The Dept. of Geology, Pachhunga University is
going to organize a 2 Days National Seminar on Geology,
Tectonics, Geo-Hazards & Natural Resources of North
East India at the Pachhunga University college Auditorium during 3rd November to 4th November, 2014.
About the Department
Pachhunga University College is the oldest and
premier educational institute of Mizoram established in the
year 1958 affiliated to NEHU and it became a constituent
college of Mizoram University in the year 2001. The Dept.
of Geology established in the year 1984 and is the first institute offering Bachelor Degree in Geology.
