Dr. Rajesh Kumar successfully defended his Ph.D. (Geography) on ‘Fluvial Processes in Lower Rapti River Basin: A Case Study of Impacts on Arable Land’ from the CSRD, JNU in 2011. He was awarded Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) in 2009 by the University Grant Commission (UGC), New Delhi. He worked as Research Associate in the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC), Govt. of India (GoI)- sponsored project on ‘Ganga River Basin Management Plan’ in collaboration with School of Environmental Sciences, JNU and IIT Kanpur during October 2011 –July 2013. Further, he joined the CSRD as Research Associate and worked in the Departmentof Science (DST), GoI-sponsored project on ‘Geomorphological and Chronostratigraphic Reconstruction of Glacial Episodes of Gangotri Glacier in Bhagirathi Basin, NW Garhwal Himalaya’ from August 2013 to August 2014. He is actively involved in research and wrote 16 research papers/book chapters/Atlas, published by national and international publishers. His major research areas are related to applications of geospatial technology in river science. His research papers are related to the anthropocene epoch of geological time scale dealing with the impact of human activities on rivers and climate-related disasters.
Dr. Manish Pandey currently works at the University Center for Research & Development (UCRD), Chandigarh University located in Mohali, Punjab, India. He earned his graduation (Geography honors) and post-graduation (geography) from University of Allahabad, located in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. He has been awarded research grant as Junior Research Fellow (JRF) and Senior Research Fellow (SRF) for carrying out his doctoral research by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India. After earning his Ph.D. degree in the field of geomorphology, he has been engaged in post-doctoral research (at different research positions) for more than 5 years. His research interests are in Geography, Fluvial and Glacial Geomorphology, Glaciology and Remote Sensing & Geoinformatics (GIS). His simple interest is in understanding the process-form relationship in diverse environmental settings. He is an experienced research associate with a demonstrated capability of working in the research industry, skilled in cartography, geomorphology, well versed in GIS packages like ArcGIS, QGIS, ERDAS Imagine, and Data Analysis, and Strong research professional with a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Fluvial Geomorphology from Banaras Hindu University. His exposure to glaciological field work and training by India’s elite government institutions like the Geological Survey of India, and geospatial trainings provided to him by institutions like ISRO has infused some very important skills in the respected fields of research needed to carry out this project to finality. Dr. Manish has been in the field training groups carrying out research in the study of the Himalayan Foreland Basin deposits, ancient Neogene Siwalik sequences and their modern analogues like Gangetic Foreland Basin sediments facies to understand the role of synsedimentary processes in the evolution of this world’s one of the important foreland basin system on the planet.
