Gautam Talukdar, Ph.D. |
Dr. Gautam obtained his Ph.D. from Indian Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS). He has been in field of Geoinformatics for about 2 decades and has experience form several reputed institutes like Forest Survey of India (FSI), Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC), etc. He has worked in several national and international level projects like Landscape dynamics and its impact on ecosystem composition, Biodiversity characterisation at landscape level, Natural Resources Census (NRCENSUS), Biodiversity Conservation and Rural Livelihood Improvement Program amongst many others. Currently he is a Scientist in Wildlife Institute of India looking after the Protected Area Networks and is also Associate nodal officer of Remote Sensing and GIS Cell. His research interests include advances in remote sensing, geospatial modeling for issues relevant to sustainable development, data interoperability, ecological modelling, aquatic ecology and climate change. He is serves as an expert for the Intergovernmental Panel on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service (IPBES) and lead author of regional and subregional assessment for the Asia and Pacific. He has worked in the area of Biodiversity Informatics and has been the Global Biodiversity Information Facility – India Node manager. He is currently is an expert in the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas as well as in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 6th assessment. Specialization Key Areas of Research |
