Barnali Das

Dr. Barnali Das is a Teaching Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography and Geospatial Sciences at Kansas State University. Her research focuses on remote sensing applications in coastal and agricultural systems, with particular emphasis on mangrove dynamics, coral reef habitability, and crop yield forecasting.

Her work spans three interrelated fields:

• Coastal ecology (mangrove carbon mapping, shoreline change analysis)
• Agricultural monitoring (soil moisture modeling for drought early warning, biophysical vs. agro-climatic predictors for crop yields)
• Geospatial science (machine learning for canopy parameter retrieval, cloud computing in environmental analysis)

Recent publications highlight her expertise in:

• Marine ecosystem assessment (Andaman Islands, Arabian Sea)
• Coastal zone management (Maharashtra, Panama)
• Data-driven agriculture solutions (Sub-Saharan Africa)

Her research demonstrates a commitment to interdisciplinary environmental science through advanced geospatial technologies.
