Riverbank Erosion A Concise And Critical Review Of Scales, Approaches, Methods And Techniques

Riverbank Erosion A Concise And Critical Review Of Scales, Approaches, Methods And Techniques

Authors: Pankaj Roy,
Format: Paperback | Genre : Envrionmental Science | Other Book Detail

The book serves as a textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate students and as a reference book for college and university teachers, researchers in a wide range of disciplines such as Geography, Hydrology, Riparian Land Management, Planning and Development in general, and Fluvial Geomorphology and River Science in particular. Many books have been written in these fields, but there's dearth of a book on riverbank erosion with special emphasis on methods and techniques. The students and researchers fail to find a book on this field which is comprehensive, concise, simple and addresses the issues when they struggle for formulating a research proposal with appropriate methodology. The need of a book on this field has been felt quite a long time before. Hopefully, this book fills that gap.

PANKAJ ROY is a passionate Geographer and enthusiast researcher in the field of Fluvial Geomorphology. He holds PhD and Post Graduate degrees in geography. He was awarded the PhD degree for his doctoral research in riverbank erosion dynamics using Geospatial Technology (RS, GIS & GPS) as tools of analysis, from one of the premier academic institutes of India and UGC's University of Potential for Excellence i.e., North-Eastern Hill University (NEHU), located at Shillong, the Scotland of the East and capital city of Meghalaya, India. He was a UGC BSR Fellow there. He is specialised in Fluvial Geomorphology and keeps keen interest on Geospatial Technology. He had also done the professional courses of Bachelor of Education and Master Diploma in Multi Language Programming (MDMLP) before opening up his mind for doctoral research. He had completed several RS & GIS training courses from IGIAT, Vizag; NRSC (ISRO), Hyderabad; IIRS (ISRO) Dehradun and ESRI, CA, USA during and after his doctoral research to acquire technical knowhow which he applied in research works and teaching as well. The flood geomorphology, hydrology, geospatial technology and its applications, digital image processing and climate change are some other areas of his interests.
