Autorinformation
Pravat Kumar Shit (Ph.D.) is Assistant Professor at the PG Department of Geography, Raja N. L. Khan Women’s College (Autonomous), West Bengal, India. He received his M.Sc. & Ph.D. degrees in Geography from Vidyasagar University and PG Diploma in Remote Sensing & GIS from Sambalpur University. His research interests include applied geomorphology, soil erosion, groundwater, forest resources, wetland ecosystem, environmental contaminants & pollution and natural resources mapping & modelling. He has published eighteen books (Springer-13, Elsevier-02, CRC Press-01) and more than 75 papers in peer-reviewed journals and 74 chapters.  He is also Guest Editor of “Environmental Science and Pollution Research” and “Applied Water Science”. He is currently Editor of the GIScience and Geo-environmental Modelling (GGM) Book Series, Springer Nature.
Partha Pratim Adhikary (Ph.D.) is Senior Scientist at ICAR-Indian Institute of Water Management, Bhubaneswar, India. He obtained his Ph.D. in Agricultural Physics from ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, India. His research interests include solute transport, soil and water conservation and management, pedotransfer functions and geospatial modelling of natural resources. Dr. Adhikary has published more than 60 research papers in peer-reviewed journals and 8 books. His other publications include chapters, popular articles, technology brochures, technical bulletins, and scientific reports. He is Associate Editor of Indian Journal of Soil Conservation. He is also Guest Editor of “Environmental Science and Pollution Research” and “Applied Water Science”. Currently, he is Editor of Springer Nature book series GIScience and Geo-environmental Modelling.
Gouri Sankar Bhunia (Ph.D.) received Ph.D. from the University of Calcutta, India, in 2015. His Ph.D. dissertation work focused on environmental control measures of infectious disease using geospatialtechnology. His research interests include environmental modelling, risk assessment, natural resources mapping and modelling, data mining and information retrieval using geospatial technology. Dr. Bhunia is Associate Editor and on the editorial boards of three international journal in Health GIS and Geosciences. Dr. Bhunia has published more than 75 articles in various journals in Scopus indexed. He is currently Editor of the GIScience and Geo-environmental Modelling (GGM) Book Series, Springer Nature.  
Prof. (Dr.) Debashish Sengupta is working as Professor, Higher Administrative Grade and Former Head of the Department of Geology and Geophysics in Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur, West Bengal, India. Prof. Sengupta has more than 30 years of teaching and research experience. He has completed his Ph.D. in 1987 in Applied Geophysics. His areas of interests are nuclear geophysics including petroleum logging using subsurface nuclear data, radioactive methods and geochronology, radon emanometry and its applications, applications of isotopes and radionuclides in earth and environmental geosciences, heat flow and geothermics. Prof. Sengupta has 110 research publications in international journals and more than 60 papers in conference proceedings apart from a large number of invited talks delivered both in India and abroad. The research work has been seminal and resulted in the formulation of environmental regulation policies in various countries both in India and countries like USA, South America and the European Union. Prof. Sengupta had also been Visiting Professor at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and as Senior Visiting Professor at the University of Salamanca, Spain, earlier, while on a sabbatical leave from the institute. He has received Society of Geoscientists and Allied Technologists (SGAT’s) Award of Excellence in Earth Sciences for the year 2003. Prof. Sengupta has published four (05) books.
