Re: GSI Geology Exam Syllabus

As you are looking for GSI Geology Exam Syllabus, so on your demand I am sharing with you:

GEOLOGY – PAPER I : 200 Marks
Section A : Geomorphology and Remote Sensing.
Introduction : Development, Scope, Geomorphic concepts, Types and Tools; Landforms: Role of
Lithology, peneplaination, endogenous and exogenous forces responsible, climatic and Tectonic
factors and rejuvenation of landforms; Denudational processes : Weathering , erosion, transportation,
weathering products and soils – profiles, types, duricrusts; Hillslopes : Their characteristics and
development, fluvial processes on hillslopes; River and drainage basin: Drainage pattern, network
characteristics, Valleys and their development, processes of river erosion, transportation and
deposition; Landforms produced by geomorphic agents: Fluvial, Coastal , Glacial and Aeolian
landforms; Geomorphic indicators of neotectonic movements : Stream channel morphology changes ,
drainage modifications, fault reactivation, Uplift – subsidence pattern in coastal areas; Applied
Geomorphology : Application in various fields of earth sciences viz. Mineral prospecting,
Geohydrology, Civil Engineering and Environmental studies; Geomorphology of India:
Geomorphical features and zones
Electromagnetic radiation – characteristics, remote sensing regions and bands; General orbital and
sensor characteristics of remote sensing satellites; Spectra of common natural objects – soil, rock,
water and vegetation. Aerial photos – types, scale, resolution, properties of aerial photos, stereoscopic
parallax, relief displacement; Principles of photogrammetry; Digital image processing - characteristics
of remote sensing data, preprocessing, enhancements, classification; Elements of photo and imagery
pattern and interpretation, application in Geology; Remote sensing applications in interpreting
structure and tectonics, Lithological mapping, mineral resources, natural hazards and disaster
mitigation, groundwater potentials and environmental monitoring. Landsat, Skylab, Seasat and other
foreign systems of satellites and their interpretation for geological and other studies; Space research
in India – Bhaskara and IRS systems and their applications, Thermal IR remote sensing and its
applications, Microwave remote sensing and its applications. Principles and components of
Geographic Information System (GIS), remote sensing data integration with GIS, applications of GIS
in various geological studies.

Section B: Structural Geology
Principle of geological mapping and map reading, projection diagrams. Stress-strain relationships for
elastic, plastic and viscous materials. Measurement of strain in deformed rocks. Behaviour of minerals
and rocks under deformation conditions. Structural analysis of folds, cleavages, lineations, joints and
faults. Superposed deformation. Mechanism of folding, faulting and progressive deformation. Shear

Zones: Brittle and ductile shear zones, geometry and products of shear zones; Mylonites and
cataclasites, their origin and significance.Time relationship between crystallization and deformation.
Unconformities and basement-cover relations. Structural behaviour of igneous plutons, diapirs and
salt domes. Introduction to petrofabric analysis.
Section C: Geodynamics
Earth and its internal structure. Continental drift – geological and geophysical evidence and
objections. An overview of plate tectonics including elementary concepts of plates, lithosphere,
asthenosphere, types of plate boundaries and associated important geological features like oceanic
trenches, volcanic arcs, accretionary wedges, topography of mid-ocean ridges, magnetic anomaly
stripes and transform faults. Gravity anomalies at mid-ocean ridges, deep sea trenches, continental
shield areas and mountain chains. Palaeomagnetism and its application for determining palaeoposition
of continents. Isostasy, Orogeny and Epeirogeny. Seismic belts of the earth. Seismiciy at plate
boundaries. Principles of Geodesy, Global Positioning System (GPS) and its application in crustal
motion monitoring including neotectonics. Palaeoposition of India and Geodynamics of the Indian
plate.
