GSI Highlights Research in Petrology to Advance Mineral Exploration
The Geological Survey of India (GSI) is encouraging more research in the study of rocks (petrology) to help find important minerals that society needs.
The Director-General, Asit Saha, spoke at a workshop about the importance of this research.
The workshop was about new discoveries in earth science and how they can help find minerals, store carbon, and understand the past.
They want to do more research that combines different areas of science.
This includes using the latest technology like AI and ML.
The goal is to find these resources efficiently and responsibly.
GSI Director-General Asit Saha emphasized research and innovation in petrological studies.
The workshop focused on recent advancements in fundamental geosciences.
The goal is to accelerate the pace of critical minerals to meet societal demands.
Interdisciplinary research is key to fostering advanced earth science research.
Strengthening R&D in fundamental geosciences is crucial, even with new technology.
