    Fluvial Geomorphology and Remote Sening Lab

  • Dr. Kumar Gaurav

    I am a Geomorphologist, working on fluvial problematics. I am interested in learing the dynamics and morphology of rivers, effect of drainage congestion on flood inundation, and application of remote sensing to monitor soil moisture and stream flow. I combine mathematical theory, physical reasoning, field observations, and digital image analysis to recognize the necessary ingredients to model them.

  • The group's research focouses on the understanding the fluvial process and the dynamics of sediments transport in rivers. At present the group is investigating the hydraulic geometry relationship between multiple and single thread channels. Our group is also actively involved in developing the methodology to estimate discharge in rivers using remote sening images.
