Abstract

This work is part of a project on the study of the crustal structure of the Indian plate. The integration of the existing geological map of India with the new geophysical data has not been done so far on any extensive scale. The gravity anomaly map has been chosen as the principal data source. A detailed picture of gravity anomalies obtained both from ship-borne observations and satellite observations is available, which is used to study the crustal structure of the western offshore area of India.
