The group works on understanding the fluvial processes and the dynamics of sediment transport in alluvial 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 sensing images.
Water Resource Hydrology (SANJEEV KUMAR JHA)
The research group works on various aspects of water resources: e.g. developing models for sediment transport in rivers; resolving spatio-temporal scales issues in hydroclimatic data using Multiple-point geostatistics for pre-processing input data and estimating sources of uncertainty in surface water and groundwater models.
Marine and Terrestrial Isotope Biogeochemistry (SATINDER PAL SINGH)
The research group is actively engaged in geochemical and isotope measurements in geological and environmental samples (terrestrial and marine waters/sediments, and atmospheric dust), and use these data as proxies of various earth surface processes such as natural biogeochemical cycles and human perturbations, atmospheric and oceanic circulation, modern and past continent-climate-ocean interactions.
Stochastic Hydrology (SOMIL SWARNKAR )
Our group primarily focuses on extreme hydrological events and their relationship with the climate and the earth surface processes. We currently use stochastic hydrological tools to understand the modified hydrological and geomorphological regimes under warming climates and anthropogenic disturbances. Further, we actively work on basin-scale sediment yield quantifications and their relationship with the earth surface dynamics.
Crustal Deformation (VINEE SRIVASTAVA)
Tectonic Geomorphology, Landscape Evolution and Natural Hazards: The Group's research involves an interdisciplinary approach to study deformation-related landscape evolution under the tectonic geomorphology domain. A high-precision Real Time Kinematic Global Navigation Satellite System (RTK-GNSS) field survey is run to quantify topography and uses computing geomorphic indices to assess neotectonic activity. This approach, combined with deformation studies, enhances our understanding of natural hazards and contributes valuable insights into the complexities of tectonic activity.
Sedimentology (ANGANA CHAUDHURI)
Our group specialises in sedimentary basin evolution and unravelling past landforms based on sediment provenance analysis. The research involves petrography, whole-rock geochemistry, heavy mineral analysis, mineral chemistry and detrital geochronology as tools for provenance analysis apart from field correlations and paleo- drainage analysis.
Igneous Petrology and Isotope Geochemistry (ARUNDHUTI GHATAK)
The group's research focuses on the application of radiogenic and non-traditional stable isotope-geochemistry, major-trace element geochemistry, mineralogy, and petrology to different aspects of Earth and environmental sciences. The group develops proxies using isotope ratios of relevant elements to study wide-ranging Earth and environmental process that range across low to high-temperatures as well as modem to geologically ancient times.
Seismology ( ASHWANI KANT TIWARI)
Our group is interested in understanding the structure, evolution, deformation, and rheology of continental or oceanic crust and upper mantle. The group is particularly curious about the lithospheric structure, deformation, and rheology of the Indian subcontinent and Tibetan region. The group specialises in attenuation analysis of regional seismic phases (Lg, Pg, Pn, and Sn), receiver functions, shear wave splitting of core-refracted (e.g., SKS, SKKS, PKS) and direct-S phases, attenuation tomography, and seismic.
Structural Geology Petroleum Geology (JYOTIRMOY MALLIK)
The group studies rock deformation and its application in hydrocarbon exploitation, active tectonics and volcanism. The research group is specialized in techniques like Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR), Anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS), Analogue structural modeling, Reservoir modeling, Seismic interpretation, Fault seal analysis, Fracture analysis and modeling, Pore pressure prediction.
Structural Geology Metamorphic Petrology (PRITAM NASIPURI)
The group is involved in the understanding of crustal dynamics of Indian subcontinent using structural mapping, igneous -metamorphic petrology, zircon and monazite dating. The group is specialized in geological mapping, quantitative micro -structural analysis, computational phase equilibrium and thermodynamics based geochemical simulation. The group is interested for collaboration with scientists to improve the knowledge related to isotopic dating of zircon.
Crustal Deformation (VINEE SRIVASTAVA)
Structural Geology: Group study deformation in Fold and thrust belts like the Himalayas. Structural field mapping and quantifying fault/shear zone architecture associated with major faults are used to constrain deformation mechanisms. Optical Luminescence dating and Apatite Fission track techniques are used to constrain the age of the fault zones. Structural aspect of fault zones is then integrated with the Tectonic geomorphology to get insights into the broader picture of Fault zone deformation and neotectonic assessments of a tectonically active region.

Valid GATE/UGC/CSIR/INSPIRE is necessary to apply for a PhD position.
Exceptionally bright BE/B.Tech in Chemical Engineering or Environmental Engineering (GATE qualified) may also apply for a PhD.
Research Prospects
EES students interested in pursuing research will have the advantage of being prepared for an inter-disciplinary approach to research compared to the more traditional Earth and Environmental Sciences only research. Also, students conduct two semesters of project work, during which they are involved closely with the research of a particular faculty and group. This exposure of research is invaluable to students who wish to continue in the field of research and academia.Job Prospects
For the EES students jobs can be divided into field intensive work (e.g. mining companies, oil companies, groundwater studies); laboratory intensive work and office jobs (e.g. Interpretation and modelling related to ore and mineral resources or coal beds, environmental monitoring remote sensing and GIS related jobs). The potential organizations where students can apply are listed below: Oil companies (Shell, Schlumberger, Baker Hughes, Cairn India, Oil India Ltd., and others) Mining companies (Vedanta Resources, National Mineral Development Corporation, Hindustan Zinc Ltd., Hindustan Copper Ltd. and others) Gemmological Industry (International Gemmological Institute, De Beers, EGL and others) Other Government organizations (GSI, ONGC, BARC, AMD, NEERI, CPCB and others) Students may apply for jobs in the companies listed above. In addition the Institute and the Department will participate actively in trying to get various companies to recruit students during their final year as a BS-MS major in EES. The syllabus for students majoring in EES is being built keeping in mind the requirement of students who wish to appear for competitive exams such as GSI, ONGC and AMD.Ph.D
IISER Bhopal offers Ph.D programmes in EES. The application procedure and eligibility criteria are accessible online via http://www.iiserb.ac.in/phdadmission EES students are encouraged to present their work in the form of a lecture or poster in national and international conferences.
