John Paul Puchakayala
Research Scientist
I
did my Masters in Exploration Geophysics from Centre for exploration
Geophysics, Osmania University,  Hyderabad, India in 1983 and while
working as a research fellow in National Geophysical Research
Institute, Hyderabad I obtained my PhD in Marine Geophysics. I studied
the relationship of gravity and bathymetry of various oceanic
lithopsheric structures seamounts, midoceanic ridges, and fracture
zones.
In
1992 I joined Centre for Mathematical Modelling and Computer
Simulation, Bangalore. Here I used high precisison GPS to study the
deformation in Garhwal/Kumaon Himalaya, Andaman Nicobar Islands and
South Indian peninsula.
In
2003 I joined CERI, University of Memphis as a Post Doc. I am working
on New Madrid GPS data and Post Seismic Deformation of Andaman and
Nicobar Islands. I am now a research scientist handling NSF project an
Andaman deformation and New Madrid deformation.
My collaborators include Roger Bilham, Vinod Gaur, Roland Burgmann, Tony
Lowry,
Robert Smalley, and Samir Acharya.
