Prof. Dr. R. R. KRISHNAMURTHY is a Geologist specialized in the
field of Satellite Remote Sensing Applications in Coastal
Management. He has 27 years of teaching and research experience and
has served in different capacities in Anna University, M. S.
Swaminathan Research Foundation and the University of Madras. He
was an YSSP participant at the Advanced Computer Applications (ACA)
Programme of the International Institute for Applied Systems
Analysis (IIASA), Austria, and served as Visiting Professor at the
Inter-Graduate School Programme for Sustainable Development and
Serviceable Societies (GSS), Kyoto University, Japan. As a
recipient of the Environmental Award by the Government of Tamil
Nadu, he has produced several end user-oriented, significant
research outputs such as Climate Action Plan (CAP), Climate
Disaster Resilience Index (CDRI) and Climate Disaster Recovery
Process (CDRP) for Chennai, Tsunami Vulnerability Atlas for the
Chennai coast, teaching tools for high school students on Disaster
Management etc. As the Founding Principal of the University of
Madras Constituent College in Nemmeli Village, East Coast Road,
Kanchipuram District during 2011-2014, he successfully implemented
the introduction of Disaster Education for rural coastal
communities to enhance their resilience to disasters. His
remarkable research accomplishments include participation and
contributions in India’s ambitious National Programmes on Marine
Satellite Remote Sensing Information Service (MARSIS) and the
Establishment of India’s Early Warning System for Tsunami and Storm
Surges. Based on his expertise in this domain, he has closely
interacted with the Ministry of Environment and Forests, the
National Disaster Management Authority, the Ministry of Science and
Technology and the Ministry of Earth Sciences. His contributions
under extension and outreach activities include (i) training of key
decision-makers in India under the UK-DFID Programme on Coastal
Management jointly with the Universities of Newcastle and Bath, UK
and (ii) UNISDR, Geneva and the World Bank Institute, Washington
DC, funded/supported programme on Building Resilience to Indian
Ocean Tsunami, which aimed to train different target groups in
India and the Maldives. In the aftermath of 2004 Indian Ocean
Tsunami, he has trained about one thousand school teachers in India
and several field practitioners both in India and the Maldives. Dr.
M.P. Jonathan has proficient expertise in the fields of marine
geochemistry and trace metal pollution of aquatic environments. He
earned a doctorate in the field of geology from the University of
Madras, Chennai, India. He is the author of more than 140 research
articles on numerous multidisciplinary aspects of coastal pollution
in reputed journals. With a wide vision to generate a database of
the pollution status in tourist beaches all over the world, he has
completed 10 countries till date and it is expanding year by year
to other countries. He is a great teacher in orienting and
inspiring young researchers to develop an urge for writing good
scientific articles through his “Art of Scientific Writing course.
He has partaken in various bilateral and mega scientific research
projects in India, Mexico, South Africa, Colombia, and Ecuador
which deal with coastal pollution and development/mitigation
efforts through mangroves. His research interests include
geochemical process in aquatic systems, environmental geology,
tsunami (past and present), microplastic degradation, fish
toxicology, Geographic Information System (GIS) applications and
innovative approaches in pollution studies. Presently, he works as
a research professor and is also a Member of National System of
Researchers (Sistema Nacional de Investigadores - SNI Level III) of
the National Council for Humanities and Technological Sciences
[Consejo Nacional de Humanidades Ciencias y Tecnologías
(CONAHCYT)]. He also attests his abilities as the Coordinator of
Doctorate program at the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies on
Environment and Development [Centro Interdisciplinario de
Investigaciones y Estudios sobre Medio Ambiente y Desarrollo
(CIIEMAD)], National Polytechnic Institute [Instituto Politécnico
Nacional (IPN)], Mexico City, Mexico. In addition, he acted an
Executive Council Member (Consejo General Consultivo 2019-20) of
IPN, Mexico City, Mexico. He is also an editorial committee member
of the Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Journal (Springer
Verlag) and Environmental Pollution (Elsevier) and is a
member/reviewer of leading journals of Elsevier and Springer Verlag
Publishers.
Professor Dr. S. Srinivasalu has more than 30 years of Teaching and
research experience. His main research interest lies in Coastal
Zone Management. He used coastal stratigraphy to study the
recurrence interval of catastrophic coastal flooding events such as
tsunami and large storms. His most significant contributions to the
field include characterisation of modern tsunami storm deposits of
south-eastern coast of India and western coast of Mexico,
Assessment of Heavy metal concentrations in the coastal zones,
Mapping of Coastal geomorphology of India, Mineral mapping of ICZM
sites of India and Mapping of Ecological Sensitive areas of Tamil
Nadu Coast. He is having more than 81 Publications in National and
International Journals. His citation index is 1133 and h-index is
17. His i10-index is 28. He is an expert member of UNECO-IOC IOTWS
programmes. He has guided 9 Ph.D students and more than 60 Post
Graduate students. He is a member of many academic and management
committees in India and abroad. He has visited 12 countries for
various collaborative research programmes in the field of coastal
management. Bernhard Glaeser, PhD, is Professor of Sociology at the
