He is fellow and life member of many learned bodies and has been a member of National Working Group for International Geological Correlation Programme (IGCP) on A-type granites and related rocks (IGCP 510), and International Geological Correlation Programme (IGCP) on The Changing Early Earth (IGCP 599).
Research Interest
Research interests of Prof. M. E. A. Mondal include magmatic and tectonic processes of Precambrian crustal evolution, hard rock and clastic rock geochemistry. He is particularly interested in understanding the geodynamic evolution of Indian continental lithosphere, viz. Bundelkhand craton, Bastar craton and Aravalli craton through multi-disciplinary approach involving field studies, petrology, geochronology and geochemistry.
