Indian Institute of Geomagnetism (IIG) is a premier research organization under Department of Science and Technology and is involved in research on Geomagnetism and allied fields.
Its Headquarters is located at New Panvel near Mumbai. It has two Regional Centres and twelve magnetic observatories located across the length and breadth of the country.
It actively participates in the Indian Antarctic Program
IIG has taken a new initiative in establishing the Shillong Geophysical Research Centre (SGRC) as its third regional centre. The focus of research at this newly formed centre at Shillong would be on deciphering the pre- and co-seismic signatures in various atmospheric regions over the North-East using a variety of observational techniques aided by numerical modelling tools.
The proposed multi-parametric study to be initiated at the Shillong regional centre, in an across the discipline manner, is a modest attempt towards identifying the anomalous seismic zones in North-East India to understand the generation mechanisms of great earthquakes in the region.
