Prof. Shaw has over 45 books to his credit, as well as over 300 scholarly papers and book chapters. Dr. Gouri Sankar Bhunia earned his Ph.D. in 2015 from the University of Calcutta in India. His Ph.D. dissertation focused on applying geospatial technologies to prevent infectious disease in the environment. Environmental modeling, risk assessment, natural resource mapping and modeling, data mining, and information retrieval utilizing geospatial technologies are among his research interests. Dr. Bhunia serves on the editorial boards of three international journals in health GIS and geosciences as an associate editor. Dr. Bhunia has published more than 60 articles in Scopus-indexed publications. Dr. Martiwi Diah Setiawati is a research fellow at the National Research and Innovation Agency's Research Center for Oceanography (BRIN). She worked as a project researcher for the Climate Change Adaptation Initiative Project in Indonesia at The University of Tokyo's Integrated Research System for Sustainability Sciences (IR3S) from 2016 to March 2021. The Ministry of the Environment of Japan and the Ministry of National Development Planning of the Republic of Indonesia (BAPPENAS) are working together on this project to integrate climate change adaptation into a local development plan. She is interested in the use of remote sensing and GIS to a variety of environmental circumstances, such as habitat research, catastrophe mitigation, climate change effect assessment, and adaptation, as an environmental scientist. Her prior research efforts include constructing models to forecast future health hazards posed by changes in climate, land use, and population, as well as integrated climate assessment - risks, uncertainties, and society. She has over 20 papers published in a variety of international and regional journals and proceedings. Ms. Soumita Banerjee is a Senior Research Fellow (UGC) at the Department of Geography, Faculty Council of Science, Jadavpur University, Kolkata. She has completed her M.Sc. in Geography (Specialization in Environmental Study) with a Gold Medal from the Department of Geography, University of Calcutta and later, while working as full-time faculty in the Department of geography (UG-PG), Asutosh College, Kolkata, she has done a M.A in Disaster Management in the distance learning mode of Annamalai University. During her Research Period as a Junior Research Fellow, she has been awarded with DAAD- IGCS Summer School Scholarships twice and invited as a Guest Researcher in ERASMUS Exchange Programme. She has also selected and participated in various prestigious national level training programmes or schools. Her areas of research interest cover Land Use Dynamics and Urban Planning, Hazards & Disasters, and Environmental Issues. So far, she has contributed as an author and a reviewer in a numbers of research journals and books in home and abroad.
