Vishwas Kale is currently a Professor in the Department of Geography, University of Pune, India. He obtained his Master's degree in geography from the University of Pune, India. He completed his Ph.D. in geo-archaeology at the Deccan College, Pune in 1983. His research interests include fluvial and flood geomorphology, palaeohydrology, Quaternary geomorphology and landscape evolution. He has co-authored a textbook, edited half-a-dozen special books/special issues and has published over 20 research papers in peer-reviewed journals.

From the book reviews: "The book published under the patronage of International Association of Geomorphologists (IAG) is an invaluable gift to the geoscientific community of India in particular and to the world in general. The editor has done a meticulous job of selecting geoscientists who are eminent in their own fields and well versed with landscapes and landforms about which they have written in their respective article." (K. N. Prudhvi Raju, Journal of the Geological Society of India, Vol. 84, 2014)
