My Story
I have recently completed my PhD in the Department of Geography, Durham University, UK . My research used a combination of techniques to study soil erosion, including modelling and risk mapping. The research was centred around using remote sensing and GIS mapping techniques, combined with field work, to generate better digital input for quantifying the patterns and
processes of vegetation change and its interlink with soil erosion risk in the Man river basin, India.

Vegetation change and soil erosion risk mapping using rs and gis
Mar-2010 to Apr-2015
My PhD research was focused on “Vegetation change detection and soil erosion risk modeling using Remote Sensing and GIS in the Man River basin, Central India”. In this project, i used a combination of techniques to study land use/land cover and soil erosion, including modeling and risk mapping. The research was centered around using remote sensing and GIS, combined with field work, to generate better digital input for quantifying the patterns and processes of vegetation change and its interlink with soil erosion in the Man River basin. This research was novel because I applied remote sensing techniques to gain a better understanding of characteristics controlling vegetation change and soil erosion in a data sparse region. These data were used to compare and contrast existing computer model (GeoWEPP) for soil erosion which is designed for different environments and work at different scales. Remote sensing data include Landsat TM /ETM/MSS, LISS-III, Cartosat-1, SRTM, ASTER and TRMM in
