FOUNDER:
Dr.B.Ramalingeswara Rao,Scientist, NGRI, HYDERABAD-7 A.P., India brrao_buddha@yahoo.com |
Dr B Ramalingeswara Rao, Scientist NGRI Hyderabad has established a center for seismic Hazard and Risk Research for Indian Region in the year 1998 by using his 30 years of vast experience in seismology with the help of young engineers, Computer scientists and Information System Analysts from different parts of INDIA . This center is to focus on risk research for indian regions. The causative factors for different recent earthquakes like Bhuj , Jabalpur, New Madrid regions have been studied by him in detail in his research work. He had attended several national and international conferences and presented his results.

Mission of the SHARR Center: is to advance the predictive Science of Earthquake Hazard and integration of science with geophysical and seismological (hazard & Risk) assessment for the regions of Indian Sub-Continent.
Members of the Center: Any Indian Earth Scientists and Software Engg., Engineers can become a member of this center with an aim to improve the existing knowledge to the elevated level for assessment of Earthquake Risk for the region\sites of entire seismotectonics of India.
Aim of the Center: is taking up projects related to earthquake risk assessment of any specific site or a region. New source codes are prepared for Seismicity of Indian regions.
Development of software packages like Seisinfo_India were taken up. Bibliography of Indian earthquakes were prepared for ready references by using Seisref_India package to promote seismological research in India.
