Research Innovation and Incubation Centre, Gandhinagar, Gujarat. He also holds the position of
an Independent Director, Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation Limited. He served earlier as Dy.
Director (Sct. G) at the National Geophysical Research Institute, Hyderabad for more than three
decades. He is a leading scientist, well recognized for his excellence in deep EM TechniqueMagnetotellurics among the national and international scientists.
Prof. T. Harinarayana holds two doctoral degrees in the field of Electromagnetics-one from
Edinburgh University, UK & the other from Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad. His academic and
research excellence created opportunities for him to serve as a visiting professor and scientist at
the University of Tokyo, Japan and the University of Texas at Austin, USA respectively. He has
also organized and chaired a large number of conference / seminars and technical sessions.
Dr. T. Harinarayana is a member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, Moscow. He has
received the National Mineral Award-1991, the Andhra Pradesh Scientist Award-2008. While
serving as Scientist and Head of the magnetotelluric Division, NGRI, Hyderabad he became a
fellow and a member of national (IGU, AEG, APAS etc.) and international (IAGA, EMSEV etc.)

4. Indo-French collaborative project is being discussed with Prof.J.Zlotnicki, France and Prof.Y.Sasai of
Japan for monitoring the volcanoes in Andaman-Nicobar island chain as a part of EMSEV activitiy.
GEOTHERMAL AREAS
1. PUGA GEOTHERMAL REGION, JAMMU AND KASHMIR
The Puga area in eastern Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir, is known to be the most promising geothermal field in
India, as pointed out by geo-scientific studies in the area. However, lack of deep subsurface information put
constraints to the geothermal resource evaluation in Puga. The recent magnetotelluric study in Puga revealed
anomalous conductive (~5 Ohm.m) structure at a depth of 2 km in the area of geothermal manifestation. Analysis
of temperature logs indicated a high temperature (~260C) associated with the anomalous conductive structure and
signifies potential geothermal resource in the area. We discuss the results in the context of geothermal resource
utilization for power generation in the area.
2. TATAPANI HOT SPRING ZONE, SURGUJA DISTRICT, MADHYA PRADESH
Identification of hot geothermal reservoir at great depths (1-5 Km.) is an important task in decision making to
establish and use the heat source for power generation etc. as sustainable source for a long time is a necessary
requirement. Telluric and magnetotelluric studies were carried out in and around Tatapani hot spring zone. From
these studies, the presence of a deep crustal conductor related to geothermal reservoir system at a depth of about 2
km extending in E-W direction is detected. (Ref: NGRI Report No: NGRI-2000-EXP-282)
3. KONKAN GEOTHERMAL PROVINCE, MAHARASHTRA
As in the case of previous study, the northern part of the Konkan geothermal province was investigated jointly by
using both telluric and magnetotelluric techniques and identified a deep reservoir (2-3 km) below the volcanic
rocks. It is interpreted that meteoric water from the western ghats percolated through deep fractures through normal
gravitational force and has emerged as hot springs due to differences in hydrostatic pressures. (Ref: Harinarayana,
Ph.D Thesis, 1988, Harinarayana and Sarma, 1999)
HYDROCARBON EXPLORATION STUDIES
1. KUTCH REGION, GUJARAT
Encouraged by the delineation of the Mesozoic sediments in the northwestern quadrant of the Saurashtra
peninsular region, ONGC Ltd. supported a major project for the delineation of sediments and mapping of the
basement structure for oil exploration. Five magnetotelluric traverses across the Kutch region with 50

magnetotelluric sites have not only delineated yet another location, but also indicated sharp variation in the
basement. It is observed from 1D and 2-D modeling of MT studies and also from gravity and Deep resistivity
soundings, that the region west of Mundra village seems to possess large thickness of sediments. Interestingly, this
region falls in the vicinity of the northwestern quadrant of Saurashtra region near Jamnagar (Ref: NGRI Report No:
NGRI-2000-EXP-296).
2. SAURASHTRA REGION, GUJARAT
Large part of this region is covered by volcanic rock and acts as a mask on the subsurface structures and makes it
difficult for conventional geophysical techniques. Magnetotelluric studies using state-of-the art equipment
covering most of the Saurashtra region with 690 stations showed the presence of thick (3-4 km) sediments below
the volcanic rock towards north-western part of Saurashtra peninsula around Jamnagar . The presence of thick
sediments towards the north western part of Saurashtra peninsula, which was FIRST indicated by
MAGNETOTELLURICS and also decrease in resistivity of the sediments indicating the association of the marine
environment of the sediments have opened up this region potential for oil exploration. This work was carried out as
a sponsored project by ONGC Ltd. and is of classified in nature as the results are directly related to the oil potential
of our country. (Ref: NGRI Report No: NGRI-98-EXP-237).
3. NAGPUR-WARDHA REGION, MAHARASHTRA
As in the case of Saurashtra, this region also covered by volcanic rocks and became a difficult terrain for
conventional geophysical techniques. Magnetotelluric field studies using state-of-the art equipment near NagpurWardha region with 138 stations along radial profiles and the strategic modeling have shown very thick sediments,
of the order of 3 to 4 km. Apart from the estimations of the thickness of sediments, several structural features,
basement undulations and also gave a new evidence for the possible extension of PRANHITA-GODAVARI
Graben underneath the Deccan trap cover. This new evidence paved a way to the oil industry for exploration for
coal and coal bed methane in Katol and it's surrounding regions. (Ref: NGRI Report No. NGRI-98-Expl.222)
EARTHQUAKE / DEEP CRUSTAL STUDIES
1. LATUR EARTHQUATE REGION, MAHARASHTRA :
Latur Earthquake has occurred in aseismic region and it is important to know the deep crustal signature of the
region. MT results in this region has brought out anomalous conductivity anomaly at a depth of about 7-10 km and
indicated the presence of FLUIDS. Seismic and gravity data also supported for the presence of fluids that might
have triggered the Latur earthquake. The new evidence from this study paved a way for possible identification of
such zones in other seismic regions of the world as indicated recently from Kobe seismic epicentral zone (Ref:
H.K.Gupta et al , Geophysical Research Letters, 23, No.13, 1569 1572,1996).
2. NARMADA-SON LINEAMENT ZONE ( JABALPUR EARTHQUAKE), MADHYA PRADESH.
Unlike above, this area is seismically active and has a series of E-W trending faults. However, it is important to
know and distinguish between active and relatively passive faults. Magnetotelluric studies across the NSL zone
cross both the Narmada South and North faults. Modeling results of MT data have clearly brought out the ACTIVE
nature of the NSL SOUTH FAULT as compared to NORTH fault with a distinct conductivity contrast. This study
thus gave evidence and a new way that it is possible to identify the active and relatively passive faults, which in
turn helps to identify the hazardous zones as active faults that are associated with seismic activity. These results are
presented in two international workshops (Ref: Harinarayana et al, Chapman conf., NGRI, and EM workshop,
Romania, 1998).
3. BHUJ and CHAMOLI EARTHQUAKE REGIONS
MT studies were taken up during May-June 1999 in Chamoli epicentral region, Garwal Himalayas and during
March 2001 in Kutch region. The studies were carried out by establishing 23 stations in Chamoli region and 36
(21+15) stations in Bhuj region. The stations occupied are oriented mainly along three different profiles in each
region. Three profiles in Chamoli region are northeast-southwest (NE-SW) oriented profile from Gaucher towards
southwest to Joshimath towards northeast direction, two east-west oriented profiles from Nijmula towards east and
Mandal towards west and Chamtoli towards east and Appala towards west. The profiles occupied in Bhuj region

are a northeast-southwest profile from Mundra towards southwest to Rapar towards northeast, from Mundra
towards south and Kavda towards north and from Kodki towards west and Manaba towards east. The data have
been processed using robust processing techniques and modeling exercises have been carried out using 1D and 2D
modeling schemes to derive the subsurface geoelectric structure. (Ref: Gupta, H.K, Harinarayana, T and others,
2001, Geo. Soc. Of India , 57, 3,275-278.; Begum S.K., Ph.D Thesis, O.U. 2002; .)
