Edwin Pascoe

He proposed the idea that an Indo-Brahm river flowed between the rising Himalayas and Gondwanaland.

The idea was that it was north of the current Gangetic plain and was shifted south with the rise of Himalayas and by deposition of soil by the river.

Hall, he went to St John's College, Cambridge and joined the Geological Survey of India in 1905.

His early study in India was on the Great Kangra earthquake of 4 April 1905.

He surveyed oil fields in Burma, Assam, Punjab, and on the Arabian Coast.
