NIO sets up paleomagnetic lab
Panaji, Mar 22 (PTI) In a bid to analysis data pertaining to environmental magnetism and magnetic stratigraphy (study of rock strata), the National Institute of Oceanography has set up a laboratory inside its premises here.
"The paleomagnetic (study of remanent magnetisation in rocks) laboratory facility, now available within the institute, is expected to be used frequently for detailed magnetic measurements of the sediment cores," according to NIO website.
The laboratory can help researchers in deducing meaningful geological interpretation, it states.
NIO is one of the 38 constituent laboratories of Council for Science and Industrial research (CSIR).

PM to launch NCL diamond jubilee on April one
New Delhi, Mar 22 (PTI) Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is expected to launch the diamond jubilee celebrations of the National Chemical Laboratory (NCL) in Pune on April one.
Singh is likely to address over 500 scientists pursuing research at NCL, a constituent of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). The NCL was established in 1950.
Over the years, NCL has emerged as a key interdisciplinary research centre with interests in polymer science, organic chemistry, materials chemistry, chemical engineering, biochemical sciences and process development.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan, HRD Minister Kapil Sibal, Science and Technology Minister Prithviraj Chavan will also be present on the occasion.
Singh is also expected to lay the foundation stone of the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) building in Pune, official sources said.
