Specialization : Physical Geography, Remote Sensing, Agricultural Geography
Experience : 7 Years Teaching (PGDRS) in Rajeev Gandhi South Campus BHU & 5 Years Post-Doctoral Fellowship (Women) UGC, Department of Geography, BHU.
My significant research works are on creation of various types of databases like land use /land cover mapping, urban sprawl mapping and monitoring, study of agricultural land and other categories of land transformation to urban built up area, land use/land cover change analysis using earth observation data. Land use/ land cover change detection analysis using digital image processing techniques. Land suitability evaluation for different crops, soil survey and mapping, cropping pattern and crop classification as well as their production and acreage estimation using multi temporal and multi spectral satellite data are major contributions.
