Abstract: The abstract presents the development of new empirical models comprising enhanced soil moistureaccounting procedures for estimating more accurate surface runoff and the application of RS & GIS in identifyingwatershed characteristics for surface runoff and sediment yield estimation. The innovative methodologies forquantifying surface runoff, erosion dynamics, and sediment transport pathways at spatial scales are also focused,leveraging advances in RS and GIS. My innovative ideas to develop a lab or Centre are also proposed for solvingunsolved existing problems in an environment, especially in the field of hydrology and RS and GIS. In addition, amongthe existing courses at IISER, Mohali, my teaching interest lies in (a) Basics of remote sensing, (b) Microwave remotesensing and (c) Natural hazards and disaster risk reduction. Furthermore, I am also interested in designing a few newcourses on important topics, viz., watershed management, and RS & GIS application. In addition, for developing orstrengthening collaborations with potential funding agencies, project proposals will also be drafted for seeking fundingas well as technical partnerships.\n\nMeeting id: 944 2649 3601\nPasscode: 070134\n
