Coastal Vulnerability Assessment using Geospatial Technology

22 April to 12 May 2019

Indian Institute of Technology, Madras

Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IIT-M)

IIT-M is one among the foremost institutes of na-

tional importance in higher technological education,

basic and applied research. IIT Madras is a residen-

tial institute with nearly 550 faculty, 8000 students

and 1250 administrative & supporting staff and is a

self-contained campus located in a beautiful wooded

land of about 250 hectares. It has established itself

as a premier centre for teaching, research and indus-

trial consultancy in the country. The Institute has

sixteen academic departments and a few advanced

research centres in various disciplines of engineer-

ing and pure sciences, with nearly 100 laboratories

organized in a unique pattern of functioning.

Ocean Engineering Centre, IIT Madras

The Ministry of Education and Social Welfare, as

per the decision of Council of Indian Institute of

Technology, established the Ocean Engineering

Center of IIT Madras in 1977. The Department is to

act as a Center of Excellence for advancing the fron-

tiers of science and to provide Break-through Tech-

nology as well as to develop education and training

programs in the field of Ocean Engineering. The

Department vigorously pursues activities in line

with its objectives and remains committed to excel-

lence in its endeavor in education, research and

training programs as well as supporting develop-

mental efforts of marine industries. The Department

has laboratory are of 3000 m2 and a highly special-

ized faculty numbering 20 with adequate support

from technical and administrative staff.

The Ocean Optics and Imaging Laboratory is estab-

lished by Professor P. Shanmugam. The research

done here is multidisciplinary and fits within the

larger scientific context of physical, chemical, bio-

logical and geological oceanography. The research

is focused on experimental and theoretical study of

the inherent optical properties (absorption, scatter-

ing, attenuation) of particles and dissolved substanc-

es and propagation of light within the ocean and

across the air-water boundary. This involves labora-

tory and in-situ measurements, modeling efforts and

radiative transfer applications. It also consists of

developing innovative algorithms and models for

satellite oceanographic studies with an emphasis on

applications to coastal erosion, sediment dynamics,

harmful algal blooms, climate change, and coastal

and marine hazards and impact assessments.

Infrastructure at the Ocean Engineering Centre

The laboratory is well furnished with high end in-

struments such as RAMSES Radiometers, CTD

(Conductivity-Temperature-Depth) sensors, Beam

Attenuation and Absorption Spectrometer,

Backscattering sensor, Fluorometer, Perkin-Elmer

Spectrophotometer (UV-VIS), Sippican Expendable

Bathy Thermograph (XBT), Shimadzu UV Vis

Spectrophotometer Model UV-2600 with Integrat-

ing Sphere, Ultra-pure water system, Photosyntheti-

cally Active Radiation (PAR) sensor, In-water Hy-

drocarbon Detection Flurometer, LISST Particle

size analyzer, Filtration units, Liquid Nitrogen Con-

tainer, Ultra-freezer Mobile Refrigerator, Laborato-

ry Refrigerator and associated field and lab equip-

ment’s for effective measurements relating to Ocean

optics and imaging. It is also equipped with GETAC

Rugged Laptop field computer, weather station with

GPS (Wind speed/direction, barometric pressure,

temperature) and softwares such as SeaDAS, Hy-

droLight EcoLight, Ferret, ENVI-IDL, FLAASH,

DEM software for associated mapping and visuali-

zation requirements.

About the Summer School

Summer School (Level 2 - Advanced) on Coastal

Vulnerability Assessment using Geospatial Tech-

nology" focusses on developing capacity and en-

hancing the perspectives of the geospatial aspects of

coastal, ocean and marine vulnerability.

Boarding and Lodging facilities

The Institute has two guest houses within the

campus. The guest house near the Admin Build-

ing is called the Bose-Einstein Guest House and

the guest house in the hostel zone is called

the Taramani Guest House. The Taramani

Guest House has 83 rooms in total. Out of which

18 are Suites and 65 Air-conditioned rooms,

Housed in an imposing double storied building

and located at a central place, TGH provides

boarding and lodging facilities for the Institute

guests and Visitors, newly appointed faculty,

staff members, delegates and participants attend-

ing various Conferences, Seminars, Symposia

and Workshops. TGH is operated as a non-profit

activity to mainly support the academic and re-

search activity on the campus with a homely at-

mosphere and ambiance traditionally acclaimed

for its environs of hygiene and food of homely

relish and richness.
