Abstract

Present is the key to the past. Understanding the present day landforms, their genesis and behavior also helps us understand the existence of their subsurface counter parts through time and space, when subsurface samples are encountered in the course of exploration. Thus with this idea a careful study of Krishna delta is conducted to understand the evolution and behavior of the concealed modern delta. It is a covered basin, mere fringe part having some exposures, limiting the conventional geological methods of hydrocarbon exploration. Thus to be competitive and yet effective, Remote Sensing is used for preliminary assessment in this direction.
