Several locations in our state are experiencing issues related to Soil Piping, a phenomenon where soil gets eroded under the ground surface due to movement of ground water. A few locations in Kasargod has been facing the issue and the National Centre for Earth Science Studies (NCESS) is the central agency investigating such incidents.
Technologies like Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveys are used to understand the extent of the underground soil pipe and its implications for the stability of the surrounding area. Ms. Panjami, faculty member from our department has undertaken such studies as part of her research work and is an expert in this domain of soil piping. She has been a part of a few consulting works in this area.
Ms. Panjami was invited to be a part of the field investigation team at Kasargod recently. She acted as a consultant for the project. Her participation highlights the application of geotechnical engineering and soil mechanics expertise to real-world geohazard assessment. The field investigation also complements her academic and research interests in soil piping, geophysical characterisation and risk assessment.
The matter was covered i media too. Take a look at this video:
Congratulations Panjami!
