Project Team<br />

Though the outcome of the project was mostly a combined effort of a joint team of researchers<br />

belonging to various disciplines, the following broad areas were looked into by the experts mentioned<br />

against each.<br />

Overall planning <strong>and</strong> advice<br />

Prof. S K Dube, Director, IIT, Kharagpur<br />

regarding storm surge modelling<br />

Project Team<br />

Analysis of cyclone data <strong>and</strong><br />

assessment of cyclone hazard<br />

Modelling of ocean hydrodynamics<br />

<strong>and</strong> assessment of storm surge hazard<br />

Vulnerability assessment<br />

GIS integration, river flow modeling<br />

<strong>and</strong> study of Kolkata <strong>and</strong> suburbs drainage hazard<br />

Dr. M M<strong>and</strong>al, Centre for Ocean, River,<br />

<strong>and</strong> L<strong>and</strong> Sciences<br />

Dr. P Bhaskaran, Department of Ocean<br />

Engineering & Naval Arch.<br />

Dr. Tarak Nath Mazumder, Department of<br />

Architecture & Regional Planning<br />

Dr. Dhrubajyoti Sen, Department of Civil<br />

Engineering<br />

An important component of the project has been the identification of the present bank <strong>and</strong> shorelines<br />

of the rivers, alignment of the embankments, location of mangrove forest zones, along with other<br />

l<strong>and</strong> use patterns from satellite imageries. This was done by a team of scientists from the Indian<br />

Space Research Organisation – Regional Remote Sensing Service Centre (RRSSC), Kharagpur.<br />

Director (RRSSC) obtained special permission from the National Remote Sensing Agency (NRSA)<br />

for availing LISS III as well as PAN data for the study area, for which the project team is immensely<br />

grateful. River modelling was assisted by Dr. C Chatterjee, Department of Agriculture <strong>and</strong> Food<br />

Engineering.
