Author Biography

Dr. Dinesh Chandra Mishra obtained his Doctorate Degree from the Banaras Hindu University and worked at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai. He later joined the National Geophysical Research Institute (NGRI) in Hyderabad, where he is still active as an Emeritus Scientist. He has carried out advanced geological research in many countries and guided many airborne magnetic and ground gravity surveys for exploration research in India and surrounding countries. As an expert, he has been involved with the preparation of gravity maps for geodynamics and resources exploration, integrated with other geophysical and geological information, such as satellite magnetic and gravity data. Dr. Mishra is the recipient of the National Mineral Award of the Ministry of Mines and Geology, the Business Development Award of the Council of Industrial and Scientific Research (CSIR) an the Decennial Award of the Indian Geophysical Union.
