TLDR
In this paper, a structural contour map of the Moho discontinuity for the Koyna reservoir area has been prepared from the present results and the crustal information obtained along the Koysi-Loni profile, which lies near latitude 18°N roughly in the east-west direction in that part of the Deccan Trap Maharashtra State, India.About:

Stratigraphy, composition and form of the Deccan Basalts, Western Ghats, India
TL;DR: In the Western Ghats between latitudes 18° 20′ N and 19° 15′ N, 7000 km2 of Deccan basalt has been mapped with the primary objective of establishing a flow stratigraphy as a guide to the volcanic history of the flood basalts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Volcanological and tectonic control of stratigraphy and structure in the western Deccan traps
TL;DR: In this article, Trace element analytical data are used for samples from numerous vertical sections through the Deccan Traps lava series along and around the Western Ghats ridge in India, and results reinforce the previously defined stratigraphy of the Mahabaleshwar area, and extend it over a region covering some 36 000 km2, reaching as far south as Belgaum and the Trap/basement contact.

Uplift and erosional history of the Deccan Traps, India: Evidence from laterites and drainage patterns of the Western Ghats and Konkan Coast
Mike Widdowson,K.G. Cox +1 more
TL;DR: The Western Ghats escarpment in the western coastal region of peninsular India is locally capped by plateau remnants on which a regional high-level laterite carapace is preserved as discussed by the authors.

Crustal structure along Mehmadabad-Billimora profile in the Cambay basin, India, from deep seismic soundings
TL;DR: In this paper, a 220 km long N-S profile from Mehmadabad (22°50'N 72°46'E) to Billimora in the Cambay basin, India, was used for studying the detailed crustal structure in the region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tertiary palaeosurfaces of the SW Deccan, Western India: implications for passive margin uplift
TL;DR: Two genetically distinct lateritized palaeosurfaces of different ages were recognized in the southwest Deccan Traps region of Western India using a combination of geochemical, topographical, and satellite image data as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Deep Seismic Sounding (DSS) studies were initiated for the first time in India under a 3-year Indo-Soviet collaboration agreement starting 1972, along a 600km long roughly ENE-WSW profile which lies near 14°N latitude, extending from Kavali on the east coast of India to Udipi on the west coast as mentioned in this paper.

Seismicity of the Indian Ocean and a possible nascent island arc between Ceylon and Australia
TL;DR: In this paper, the epicenters of about 900 earthquakes in the Indian Ocean, Africa, and adjacent areas that occurred from 1950 to 1966 were relocated by computer and the locations of the earthquakes delineated many transform faults, ridge crests, and triple junctions.

A study of the Koyna earthquake of December 10, 1967
TL;DR: In this paper, a fault plane solution has been obtained by using the sense of first motions for the Koyna earthquake, where the authors found that the seismic activity increases with the increase of water level in the reservoir and vice-versa with a certain time lag.

TL;DR: A small dam was built across the Koyna river, some 200 km south-east of Bombay (Fig. 1) and reached a capacity of 2 × 109 m3 and a maximum depth of about 70 m1 as mentioned in this paper.

Surface-wave radiation pattern and source parameters of Koyna earthquake of December 10, 1967
TL;DR: In this paper, the fundamental-mode Rayleigh waves for the Koyna earthquake of December 10, 1967 recorded on long-period vertical component seismograms of 30 WWSSN stations have been Fourier analyzed.
