Debasis D. Mohanty

About

I am a seismologist, working in the dimensions of seismic anisotropy, tomography and integrated Geophysics. My Research Spans in Deep Earth processes shaping the tectonics and deformation on Earth. I have been constantly working on understanding the Himalayan tectonics and processes, Indian plate Motion, Geodynamics beneath the Indo-Burmese Region, making a collective effort to decipher the Evolution, structure, and deformation of the Indian Plate through time.
