Re: GNR IIT Bombay
Geoinformatics and Natural Resources Engineering (GNR) offered by Centre of Studies in Resources Engineering (CSRE) of IIT Bombay have two broad components: (1) Natural resources and applications and (2) Tools and techniques to study natural resources. Geoinformatics tools and techniques involves geospatial information gathering, analysis and disseminations using earth observation satellites (image processing, analysis and applications), geographic information systems (data models, data structures, algorithms, applications, open standards etc.), global positioning systems (GPS - signal processing, navigation, atmospheric modeling etc.), digital photogrammetry (3-D modeling of earth using multiple views), radar (signal and image processing based on intensity, polarization and phase of received signals and applications), remote sensing (propagation of radiation through atmosphere, acquisition of images using sensors mounted on aircraft or earth orbiting satellites, resolution, orbital models and a host of other issues) and sensor network. Natural resources involve vegetation (natural and agriculture), geology (including minerals), oceans, waterbodies, soil, and atmosphere, to state a few. The issues of relevance would be optimal management of the resources, sustainable exploitation, protecting the environment from degrading, assessing impact of various manmade activities on environment, assessment of natural hazards and mitigation of impact of disasters, etc. GNR program is multidisciplinary, and faculty members are from a wide range of disciplines (Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, Earth Sciences, Civil Engineering, Agriculture, Chemistry and High Performance Computing) and so will be students. This makes sense since a comprehensive study of natural resources requires knowledge of many fields. |
