Specialization and Research Interests

Dr. Prakash is a geologist and a remote sensing expert. For the last 10 years the primary focus of her research work has been in using remote sensing and GIS techniques to detect, map, monitor, quantize, model and investigate surface and underground coal fires in coal mining areas and to study the related environmental problems using multisensor, multitemporal satellite and airborne data.
 
Other research interests include:

  • 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.
  • Mutisensor (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.
