Detailed Research Topics
Fluvial Geomorphology and Sedimentology: Dynamics of Large Rivers and Flood Risk Evaluation Using Remote Sensing and GIS Platforms, Shallow Subsurface Stratigraphy of Alluvial Plains, Eco- Geomorphological Approach in River Management Emphasizing Eco-System Preservation and Habitat Suitability.
Climate Change: Fluvial Response of the Ganga River System to Climate Forcing over Late Quaternary Period, Reconstruction of Climate in NW and Central India Using Terrestrial Proxies in Sutlej-Yamuna Alluvial Sediments, Reconstruction of Paleovegetation Patterns from Stable Carbon Isotopic Ratios in Sediment Organic Matter and Paleosols.
Geochemistry: Study of Both the Surface and Deep Earth Processes Utilizing Geochemical Data Comprising of Major, Trace Element Abundances, Stable and Radiogenic Isotopic Ratios in Soils, Sediments, and Rocks etc.; Data Used to Model Various Aspects Such As Hexavalent Chromium (Cr) Contamination and Remediation in Soil, Soil Development, Petrogenesis Of Rocks, And Paleoclimate Inferences Etc. Deep Earth Studies Involve Numerical Modeling to Understand the Mantle Dynamics Beneath the Indian Continental Crust.
Paleoseismology And Paleo-Tsunami: Active (And Paleo) Tectonics in the Himalayan Frontal Zone and Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Using Remote Sensing and Ground Penetrating Rader (GPR) Data With a Focus to Identify and Map Active Faults and Associated Active Geomorphic Features in the Himalayas, Paleoseismic and Paleo-Tsunami Investigation to Identity Evidence of Large Magnitude Paleo- Earthquakes, their Recurrence Interval, Slip Rate etc.
