Development of minerals underlying Oceans
Geological Survey of India (GSI) has been carrying out systematic seabed survey within the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of India since 1983 with the help of one ocean-going research vessel and two coastal launches. During the survey, GSI have delineated Economic Mineral Bearing Zones within the territorial waters, continental shelf and beyond within the EEZ of India. The off-shore investigations of GSI include (i) preparation of geological, geophysical & geochemical maps of the seabed, and (ii) identification of potential areas of non-living resources of the sea bed.
Identification of the non-living mineral resources could be achieved by seabed survey undertaken using the existing infrastructure and expertise onboard the ocean going research vessel and the two coastal launches of GSI. In addition, for map compilation purposes deep seismic data from ONGC is also incorporated.
