About

R. S. Dwivedi is a leading geodetic researcher specializing in landslide detection and monitoring, with a focus on the tectonically active and landslide-prone Himalayan region. His major contributions lie in pioneering multi-sensor geodetic frameworks that integrate Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS), Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), Robotic Total Station (RTS), and Multi-temporal InSAR (MT-InSAR) to investigate landslide activity at varying spatial scales. Notably, his 2018 study on the Sirobagarh landslide in Uttarakhand, India, was the first in the country to employ such a robust, integrated geodetic approach, achieving 29 citations. His subsequent work on a multi-sensor geodetic approach for landslide detection, with 16 citations, further advanced the understanding of how rainfall, steep slopes, and tectonic activity trigger recurring landslides in the Lesser Himalayas. Dwivedi’s research provides critical tools for hazard assessment and risk mitigation in vulnerable regions, demonstrating high impact through citation counts and pioneering methodologies. His work is essential reading for students and researchers in geodesy, natural hazards, and environmental monitoring.
