Brief career profile

My name is Rishikesh Bharti and I am a faculty member at the Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati. With the 11 years’ of experience in geoinformatics (Remote Sensing and GIS) technology and its applications in the Earth Sciences, I have dedicated myself in earth and planetary studies such as hydro-geomorphology, snow and glacier studies, spectroscopy of natural and manmade materials and Martian surface exploration. I am actively involved in the research works with ISRO and DRDO to establish a spectroscopy lab (with equipment) for the UG/PG students of our institute.

 

Research projects completed or on-going

  1. “Geological and fluvial studies of Martian surface using the data of Thermal Infrared Imaging Spectrometer and Mars Colour Camera” funded by ISRO.

  2. “Risk assessment of floating debris dominated flash floods in trans-boundary upper Himalayan catchments” funded by DRDO.
