Solid Earth Science: Crustal evolution and geodynamics, Quaternary evolution processes, sedimentology and depositional processes, weathering and surface processes, and coastal dynamics.

Earth Science Applications: Landslides and coastal erosion mitigation, coastal zone management, resource evaluation and environmental impact assessment.


  • To develop as a Nodal Centre for multidisciplinary studies on solid earth.
  • To understand the various solid earth dynamic processes with special emphasis on cratonic blocks of India and associated Proterozoic mobile belts with geological history spanning 3000 Ma.
  • To understand evolution of Quaternary formations of India and their bearing on climate and sea level changes.
  • To study the surface processes including terrain evolution.
  • To understand the sedimentary and physic-chemical processes of the coastal zone and its subsystems.
  • To investigate landslides and coastal erosion and work towards their mitigation and management systems.
  • To apply earth science knowledge for geo resources evaluation and environmental conservation.
  • To undertake earth science applications for societal benefit.
  • To effectively integrate with the earth system science programs of the MoES and those of the country.
  • To take up sponsored R&D projects in Solid Earth Science and its applications.
  • To collaborate and cooperate with other national and international institutions in the field of Solid Earth Science and its application, exchange of scientists, information, study tours, training in specialized areas of solid earth science, conducting workshops, seminars/symposia, invited lectures, etc., consistent with the aims and objectives of NCESS, subject to the prior approval of the MoES.
