About

Dr. Biplab Sarkar is currently associated with the ICAR–Indian Institute of Farming Systems Research, India. Dr. Sarkar reveived Ph.D. degree in Geography from Aliah University, awarded in 2021 on“Decaying of River Churni and Its Impact on Ecology, Economy and Society.” He specializes in fluvial geomorphology, with focused expertise in eco-geomorphology of alluvial rivers, floodplain hydrology, and wetland ecosystem services. His research explores the complex interactions between river dynamics, human interventions, and environmental sustainability, particularly in the Bengal delta. Dr. Sarkar previously served as a Project Associate-I in a major research project titled “Spatial Mapping and Modelling of Soil and Groundwater Pollution by Nitrate from Agricultural Field in the Lower Ganga Delta of West Bengal,” funded by the Department of Science and Technology – Science and Engineering Research Board, State University Research Excellence (DST-SERB SURE), New Delhi, Government of India.
