Nepal Earthquake of 2015

Prof. Bal Krishna Rastogi is the former director general of the Institute of Seismological Research, Gandhinagar, and former head of Seismology at India's National Geophysical Research Institute, Hyderabad. He is the founder and president of the Indian Society of Earthquake Science (ISES). He has been instrumental in developing several strong Seismology groups in India. His areas of research in seismology include probabilistic and deterministic seismic hazard assessment; seismic microzonation; earthquake hazard assessment for critical structures, like nuclear power plants, LNG terminals and dams; induced seismicity, source-mechanism of earthquakes, and earthquake prediction; plate tectonics, microearthquake surveys, and homogenization of earthquake catalogues and seismotectonics.

巴爾·克里希納·拉斯托吉教授曾任印度甘地納格的地震研究所所長，以及海得拉巴國家地球物理研究所地震學部門的負責人。他是印度地震科學學會（ISES）的創始人和會長。他在印度發展了幾個強大的地震學研究團隊，對此貢獻良多。他的地震學研究領域包括概率性和確定性地震災害評估；地震微區劃；對核電廠、液化天然氣終端和大壩等關鍵結構的地震災害評估；誘發地震、地震的源機制和地震預測；板塊構造、微地震調查，以及地震目錄和地震構造的均質化。
