Dr. Himangshu Paul
Scientist , Environmental Seismology
Specialization
Seismology, Tectonics, understanding seismic signals pertaining to near-surface geohazards
Research Area
Dr. Himangshu Paul has worked on various research topics within the domain of earthquake seismology. He has contributed to understanding the source characteristics and seismogenesis in a variety of tectonic settings like the Himalaya (Sikkim, Nepal, J&K) and intraplate regions like Kachchh, Palghar, South Indian Shield, etc. He has made notable contributions towards understanding the crustal and mantle structure through seismological imaging of Sikkim Himalaya, Kachchh, different parts of peninsular India, Singhbhum craton and the north Indian Ocean. Presently, he is involved in analyzing and understanding seismic signals pertaining to near-surface geohazards like landslides and floods, and in understanding seismogenesis and dynamics of induced earthquakes.
