Ph.D. Topic

As an PhD student, I am interested in the mapping of landslides and surface erosion from geomorphological processes that are effective in site selection of Energy Transmission Lines. I am using a modern tool such as LIDAR in addition to the field-based observations and measurements, geospatial technologies, geomorphic mapping, morphometric analysis for geomorphologic processes mapping. Mainly, I aim to transform experience-based geomorphological mapping into a rule-based geomorphological mapping systematic by conducting hazard and susceptibility analysis of landslides on the energy transmission line route.
