Biography
As a part of doctoral study he have developed a models for Upper Gondwana formations of Satpura basin ,i. e Pachmarhi (Braided river) Denwa (Meadering river ) and Bagra (Alluvial fan) after obtaining Ph. D. I have worked in Department of Science and technology sponsored research project entitled â?? Tectono-sedimentary evolution of Middle to Late Proterozoic Vindhyn basin of Southeastern Rajasthan (1997-2000). Presently, I am engaged in the study of Facies analysis and sedimentation of Gondwana rocks, Satpura basin, central India (a ongoing major Research Project sponsored by UGC, New Delhi) Tectonosedimentary evolution of Meso-Neoproterozoic basin of Vindhyan, S.E. Rajasthan and geochemistry of pelites of Bhilwara-Vindhyan terrain, and its implications for provenance characteristics, tectonic and paleoclimatie condition during Archaean-Proterozoic time. Various papers have been published in National and International Journal of repute namely, Journal of African Geology, Asian Journal of a Earth Sciences, Chemical Geology, Journal of Geological Society of Indian, Indian Minerals, Petroleum Geology, Bulletin of Indian Geologists Association, and Journal of Indian Association of Sedimentologists etc.
