Gaurav Pal co-authored Senior Research Fellow, Heritage Science and Society Programme Mapping Archaeological Remains of 14th Century Fort of Jahanpanah Using Geospatial Analysis https://trebuchet.public.springernature.app/get_content/c347d62f-4213-4c53-ab93-4e8c9853bcbb?sap-outbound-id=70B97725E9866D5D3F8A4FD4FB35774CAC124778 Co-authored with M B Rajani. Proceedings of the Satellite Workshops of ICVGIP 2021 Delhi has been the center of political history for more than a thousand years. The present Delhi is an amalgamation of seven historical cities: Qila Rai Pithora (QPR) (extension of Lal Kot), Siri, Tughlaqabad, Jahanpanah, Firozabad, Dinpanah (Purana Qila), Shahjahanabad. Few of the forts have lost their contours owing to the growth and rapid urbanization of Delhi after India gained independence. |

M B Rajani co-authored Associate Professor , Heritage Science and Society Programme Hydrological maps as a tool for the exploration of historical water systems at Badami, Karnataka, India https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12685-022-00309-8 Suganya, K., Harshavardhan, M., & Rajani, M. B. (2022). Hydrological maps as a tool for the exploration of historical water systems at Badami, Karnataka, India. Water History, 14(3), 309-333. The present study uses Remote Sensing imagery to identify water features and digital elevation model to generate hydrology maps (catchment and stream maps) and demonstrates the role of historical water harvesting systems in this landscape. The use of hydrology maps has enabled recognising the significance of the seemingly mundane looking, lesser-known small water harvesting structures that dot the landscape, which have sustained the millennium-old reservoir. |
