North East Institute of Science and Technology (NEIST), Jorhat, Assam, a

constituent establishment of Council of Scientific and Industrial Research Workshop Info.
(CSIR), New Delhi, has been engaged in multidisciplinary R&D work relevant th
to the country in general and North East of India (NE India) in particular. The Registration Starts: 05 August 2022
Geoscience & Technology Division (GSTD) of CSIR-NEIST has been involved Registration Closes: 20 August 2022
th

in monitoring the seismicity of NE India since 1982. Seismic hazard and Acceptance: 15th Sept. 2022
vulnerability assessment of the populated cities and urban areas in NE India Inauguration: 20th Sept. 2022
and propagating seismic hazard awareness have been some of the major Time: 09:30 am IST, +5:30 hrs GMT
programs of the division, apart from conducting geotechnical/geophysical Registration Fee: Nil (Free)
consultancy services.
Aim of the Virtual Workshop:
Due to several physical communication constraints brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic situation, the
.

practice of disseminating knowledge and ideas through webinar, a live interactive event where attendees join via
their desktop or mobile device over the internet, have significantly proliferated. While research activities, including
research exchange and collaborations, during this unprecedented situation have decelerated, it is imperative to
boost the morale of the students and researchers by providing opportunities to interact with eminent personalities of
their research interest. In accordance with this, the Geoscience & Technology Division (GSTD) of CSIR-NEIST Jorhat
would like to conduct the 3rd INTERNATIONAL VIRTUAL WORKSHOP on "Global Seismology & Tectonics" series
targeting the geosciences students and community, during 20-30 September, 2022.
The lecture sessions aim to impart important information on emergent and impending topics of Seismology and
Tectonics, involving case studies from seismically active zones of the world. The eminent keynote speakers of the
workshop represent diverse geosciences forums and institutes or institutional departments across the world,
including the United States Geological Survey, National Center for Seismology and Tohoku University.
