Work experience
Conducted, guided and supervised coal mining subsidence research which led to the development of the present status of the subject. Advised industry to help extracting over 20 million tonnes of coal without causing any problem to surface properties. Developed and drafted Indian Standard for coal mining subsidence prediction and management. Advising ONGs on prediction of Land Subsidence due to withdrawal of fluid and gas from underground reservoirs. Conducted, guided and supervised environmental research on mining in fragile areas; rehabilitation and revegetation of overburden dumps; socio-economic profiles of mining complexes; social cost of environmental pollution; utilisation of coal combustion residues; environmental management in mining complexes; etc. Formulated EMP for granite mining at Karwar, Karnatka for project SEABIRD of Indian Navy. Formulated rapid EIA of mining projects in Jharia coalfield.
