Anupma Prakash - Associate Professor - Involved with digital image processing of remotely sensed data for geologic and geo-environmental applications. The focus is particularly on fusion of multisensor data to extract maximum information from available data. Some of the topics we deal in are:

  • Detection, mapping, monitoring, quantization, modeling and investigation of surface and underground coal fires in coal mining areas
  • High Temperature Event (HTE) investigation, viz. volcano eruptions, forest fires, thermal springs, coal fires, urban heating etc, using remote sensing techniques.
  • Investigating new sensor technologies for the Thermal Infrared region.
  • Geoenvironmental studies using environmental indicators and impact assessment models in a variety of environments.
  • Multisensor (optical, thermal, microwave) image and data fusion for geologic and geoenvironmental applications.
  • Disseminating remote sensing knowledge to remote communities by developing multimedia and distance learning tools.
