Seismology has come a long way. Being the scientific study of seismic waves and their allied phenomena, it has entered a multidisciplinary realm. As the main tool, it provides a wealth of information when applied systematically to dig inside the Earth structure. Notwithstanding, the utility of seismic waves has increased manifold. Starting from knowing the epicenter of seismic events, it has... Read more

Biography

Dr. Rajib Biswas has been actively engaged in seismological research since 2008. He had completed one major research project in ambient noise recordings and thereby evaluated site effects of two prominent urban area. He is serving as editorial board member of several journals. He has published more than 85 articles in peer reviewed journals.
