This review presents an account of the variations in crustal and upper mantle structure
beneath the Indian subcontinent and its environs, with emphasis on passive seismic results …

The geomorphology of the Deccan Volcanic Province (DVP) has its foundation in the
eruption of flood basalts that covered nearly half of the Indian Peninsula during the …

In line with the passive margin landscape evolutionary model in vogue, sustained erosion
and long-distance retreat of the Western Ghat escarpment are widely considered to be the …

Peninsular India is a cratonic region with asymmetric relief manifest by eastward tilting from
the 1.5 km high Western Ghats escarpment toward the floodplains of eastward‐draining …

Abstract The Western Ghats (WG), with an average elevation of~ 1.2 km, is one of the
greatest escarpments that spans~ 1500 km parallel to the west coast of India. It is a mosaic …

Due to the gradual and constant accumulation of seismic energy, Peninsular India (PI) is
typically considered seismically stable with low to moderate seismicity. The seismic studies …

Giant plagioclase basalts, rich in plagioclase megacrysts commonly 5 cm long, form
widespread lava flows and dikes in the Deccan Traps continental flood basalt province …

The Indian shield region comprises of several Archean cratons, Proterozoic mobile belts,
Proterozoic-Phanerozoic rift basins, and volcanic provinces and has been significantly …

The western edge of the Deccan Plateau (= Western Uplands) has been depicted in its
evolutionary models to be a contiguous crustal block exposing structurally undisturbed …

Heavy rainfall triggered landslides are on the rise along the Western Ghats making it a
matter of priority to identify landslide-prone areas well in advance. The present effort is …
