Subodh Chandra Pal is an Assistant Professor in Department of Geography at The University of Burdwan, India. He received his Ph.D. in Geography from Visva-Bharati (Central University in India) in 2015. His main fields of expertise are fluvial geomorphology, pedo-geomorphology, land degradation, soil erosion, gully erosion, landslide vulnerability, climate change, water resources monitoring and management and published nearly two hundred international and national research articles in various renowned journals. He has authored a book on Climate Change Impact on Soil Erosion in Sub-tropical Environment: Application of Empirical and Semi-empirical Models. He is the Editor of four running Edited books and is also an Editorial board member of MDPI Water and Frontiers of Earth Science journals. His research work has been funded by the University Grants Commission (UGC) and Department of Science and Technology (DST), Govt. of India. Dr. Pal has served as a reviewer for many International reputed journals. Since 2022, Stanford University has recognized Dr. Pal as one of the world's top 2% scientists Dr. Uday Chatterjee is an Assistant Professor at Bhatter College in Dantan, Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal, India, and an Applied Geographer with a Post-Graduate in Applied Geography from Utkal University and a Doctorate in Applied Geography from Ravenshaw University in Cuttack, Odisha. He has contributed to a number of research papers that have been published in reputable national and international publications, as well as edited book volumes. He has also organized (as the convener) a Faculty Development Program on "Modern ways of teaching and advanced research methods," which was funded by the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR). Urban Planning, Social and Human Geography, Applied Geomorphology, Hazards & Disasters, Environmental Issues, Land Use and Rural Development are some of his research interests. The West Bengal Pollution Control Board (WBPCB) of the Government of West Bengal, India, financed his research. He has worked as a reviewer for a number of international publications. Dr. Uday Chatterjee is currently the lead editor of the Springer Special Issue (S.I) on Urbanism, Smart Cities, and Modelling. Rabin Chakrabortty, is a senior research fellow in the Department of Geography at the University of Burdwan. His main research interests are spatial mapping, modeling and management of natural hazards and natural resources like soil, water, land and forest with emphasis on clime change. He has published more than eighty international and national research articles in various renowned journals like Springer, Elsevier and Taylor & Francis group.
