Aims & Objectives

Dr. A. Sarkar, Pandit Dindayal Petroleum University, knowledge of occurrence of such resources is essential for Gandhinagar exploration. Thus Stratigraphy plays a vital role in the exploration of Dr. J. B. Piste, Principal, Gokhale College, Kolhapur Oil, Coal and Mineral deposits and ultimately in the progress of the Dr. S. M. Hussain, University of Madras, Chennai nation. Dr. M. Thakkar, KSKV University, Kachchh The subject of Stratigraphy is being widely used for various purposes.

stProf. R. Kaplay, Department of Geology, University of Nanded, In the 21 century, apart from Lithostratigraphy, Biostratigraphy and Nanded Chronostratigraphy, other branches have emerged with wide Dr. S. K. Humane, RTM University of Nagpur, Nagpur applicability. Sequence Stratigraphy, Seismic Stratigraphy, Dr. K.Wanjalwarkar, Government Institute of Science, Chemostratigraphy and Magnatostratigraphy have played a Aurangabad responsible role in exploration of deposits. The pre-conference

workshop focuses on fundamentals and applications of newly emerged branches of Stratigraphy, which would lay a solid
