About

Onkar Dikshit is a leading figure in geodetic engineering and landslide hazard assessment, whose work has pioneered multi-sensor monitoring strategies in the challenging terrain of the Indian Himalayas. His research integrates cutting-edge geodetic techniques—including Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS), Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), Robotic Total Stations, and Multi-temporal InSAR—to detect, map, and monitor slope instability with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution. Dikshit led the first robust geodetic framework of its kind in India at the Sirobagarh landslide in Uttarakhand, demonstrating how combining these sensors can capture deformation across different scales, from local point measurements to regional surface changes. His highly cited 2018 study (29 citations) established a benchmark for landslide investigation in the tectonically active Lesser Himalaya, while his subsequent work (16 citations) systematically addressed the region’s rainfall- and tectonically-triggered hazards. By bridging field geodesy with satellite remote sensing, Dikshit has provided critical tools for early warning and risk mitigation, making his contributions essential reading for researchers and practitioners in natural hazard monitoring, engineering geology, and applied geoinformatics.
