Research interest
I am actively engaged in Earth and Environmental studies, with a focus on addressing environmental challenges through the integration of satellite remote sensing and geoinformatics technologies. My research primarily centers on using multi-source Earth observation satellite data to monitor and analyze forestry dynamics, agricultural landscapes, land cover dynamics, and air quality at various spatial and temporal scales. I am particularly interested in exploring how environmental processes interact with vegetation function and landscape change in the context of climate and anthropogenic drivers. My broader research interests include:
Remote sensing physical modeling and inversion
Global and regional environmental changes
Validation of satellite-derived products
Vegetation-Human-Climate interactions
Vegetation carbon-water fluxes
Aerosol-Vegetation interactions
Mining impacts on vegetation
Land cover dynamics and land degradation
Remote sensing applications in agriculture
Forest fire and their impacts on vegetation function and ecophysiology
I am Dr. Avinash Kumar Ranjan, currently working as Postdoctoral Researcher at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India under Prof. Angshuman Modak (Centre for Climate Studies) and Prof. Eswar Rajasekaran (Department of Civil Engineering). I have completed my Ph.D. in Remote Sensing-Mining-Vegetation at the National Institute of Technology, Rourkela, India. My doctoral research, titled “Quantifying the Impacts of Mining Activities on Vegetation Ecology using Integrated Remote Sensing Approaches”, focused on assessing mining-induced vegetation changes and ecological restoration using advanced satellite-based methodologies.
Before joining NIT Rourkela, I earned an Integrated M. Tech in Geoinformatics from the Central University of Jharkhand, Ranchi, India. During my postgraduate studies, I worked on various research projects related to remote sensing applications in agriculture, vegetation dynamics, and climate change analysis. My M.Tech. dissertation focused on using remote sensing data and the AquaCrop model for paddy acreage mapping and yield estimation in Jharkhand, India.
In addition to research, I have contributed extensively to scientific knowledge dissemination, serving as a reviewer for esteemed journals like Remote Sensing of Environment, Scientific Reports, Ecological Indicators, among others. I am also a life member of the Indian Society of Remote Sensing (ISRS) and Indian Society of Geomatics (ISG).
