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. 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. Anil Kashyap is Head of Department of Geography and Environmental Management at the University of the West of England. Dr. Kashyap brings a wealth of national and international experience with 22 years in academia, research, and the public sector. Prior to this was Deputy Head of School at Coventry University and Professor and Director of School of Real Estate at RICS School of Built Environment. He holds a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, master’s degree in urban planning and a PhD from University of Ulster, United Kingdom.

He is also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (HEA) United Kingdom and a Council Member of the International Federation of Housing and Planning (IFHP) representing India. He has recently been appointed to a prestigious panel of International Land Measurement Standard Setting Committee (ILMS – SSC) led by RICS, London. Dr Kashyap has strong research interest spanning from energy efficiency in built form, healthy and smart cities, urban regeneration and infrastructure development and financing. Dr. Pravat Kumar Shit is Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography, Vidyasagar University, India and also works in the Postgraduate Department of Geography, Raja N. L. Khan Women’s College, India. He received his Ph.D. in Applied Geomorphology from Vidyasagar University in 2013, M.Sc. in Geography and Environment Management from Vidyasagar University in 2005 and PG Diploma in Remote Sensing & GIS from Sambalpur University in 2015. His main fields of research are soil erosion spatial modelling, water resource and natural resource mapping, and geospatial modelling, and has published over 50 international and national research articles in various renowned journals. He has published three books and is an associate editor or on the editorial board of three international journals in geography and environmental science.
