Explore the Earth, Maps and Satellite Images

Google Maps and Google Earth are very common platforms today to explore maps and satellite images of the earth. But there are many other ways to explore the earth. Some are listed here.  1.   Earth Explorer This map is developed by USGS helpful to obtain earth imagery across available geo-spatial data types. Users can navigate via interactive map or text search to obtain Landsat satellite imagery, Radar data, UAS data, digital line graphs, digital elevation model data, aerial photos, Sentinel satellite data, some commercial satellite imagery including IKONOS and OrbView3, land cover data, digital map data from the National Map, and many other datasets. Users can search by exact location via the interactive map or input specific coordinates to view what data types are available. 2.   Sentinel Hub This platform developed by  Sinergise has Sentinel, Landsat, and other Earth observation imagery easily accessible for browsing, visualization and analysi...

Geological Organizations and Associations in Nepal

Geologists in Nepal are working in very diverse sectors. There are some organizations and associations in the country which are responsible for promotion of geological activities and professionals. 

1. Department of Mines and Geology

The Department of Mines and Geology (DMG) is the only government organization that responsible for all types of geological survey, mineral exploration and administration of Mining Rules and Regulations in Nepal. It conducts various geological surveys though out the country and publishes Geological Maps, Engineering Geological Maps and various other geology and mining related reports ad documents.


NGS is a professional scientific organization of Geoscientists founded in 1980, creating a international network of geoscientists engaged in the research of the Himalaya, Karakorum, Hindukush and Tibet. 


NSEG is a non-profitable society working in a congregational manner in Nepal as well as international level in the field of Engineering Geology and Geotechnical Engineering.


NGSS is a non-profitable organization of geology students of Nepal established in 1990A.D., in the Central Department of Geology, Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur, Kathmandu, Nepal. It was formally registered in September, 2014 A.D., in District Administration Office, Kathmandu. The students studying geology in M.Sc. level and final year of B.Sc. levels are associated with the Society.

Geology Of Nepal

The Himalaya was formed due to collision of Indian Plate and Eurasian Plate at about 40 million years ago. It extends in 2400km east - west direction. Its width varies from 230 to 320 km and bounded between the Indo-Gangetic Plain in the south and Tibetan Plateau in the north. Nepal Himalaya occupies the central 800km part. Heim & Gansser 1939 , and Gansser 1964 divided the rocks of the Himalaya into four tectonostratigraphic zones that are characterised by distinctive stratigraphy and physiography. From south to north, it can be divided into five latitudinal morpho-tectonic zones and these are : 1. The Gangatic Plain (Terai) 2. The Sub Himalayan (Chure or Siwalik) 3 Lesser Himalayan (Mahabharat Mountain Range), 4. Greater Himalayan, and 5. Tibetan Himalayan zones (Tethys Himalaya). Each of these zones is clearly identified by their morphological, geological and tectonic features. Main Frontal Thrust (MFT), Main Boundary Thrust (MBT), Main Central Thrust (MCT) and South Tibetan ...
