IIG is engaged in various research works through different types of Geophysical methods; IIG runs total twelve magnetic observatories spanning east-west and north-south region of our country, which ultimately help in understanding the interior structure of earth, plate tectonics, earthquakes and different types of earthquake waves, identifying regions with ground water potential, and Landslides etc.
Most of their activities had been presented nicely to the students through posters, models, Laboratory visits and presentations. Students were explained about the basics of geomagnetism, space science, seismology and geophysics through posters and presentations. The students got an opportunity to see different experimental set up, state of arts Laboratories.
The visit has exposed the students in understanding the basics of geomagnetism, space science, seismology and geophysics. They could also learn the interior structure of earth, concept of magnetic poles and pole reversals, various geophysical methods, plate tectonics, identifying regions with ground water potential and Landslides etc.
