Geologist and Geospatial Analyst.
Welcome to my page.
I am Shruti Samuel. I am a geologist with specialization in Remote Sensing and GIS applications. I have a working experience of 3+ years in this field. I enjoy deriving the underlying trends in geospatial data. Using GIS, I like to draw meaningful interpretations for data and provide actionable insights.

Tamil Nadu is one of the southern most states of India. The region manifests geological rocks and events from different times in the Geological past. One of the most spectacular rock successions are the famous Creatceous rocks of Trichinopoly. My visits to places near Salem, Trichy, Yercaud, Elagiri were part of my course work while studying in Pondicherry University.
Karnataka hosts one the oldest rocks in the Indian Subcontinent. I visited places near Chitradurga, Hassan, Mysore, and the world famous Hampi as part of my course work while studying in Pondicherry University.
Dehradun, is a famous 'doon' or 'valley' city nestled in between the Shiwalik ranges and the Lower Himalaya. The region is a hotbed for tectonic and seismic activity. Field visits to places near Dehradun and Haridwar was part of my postgraduate diploma course. The main objectives of the field works were to create ground truth points, to study the indicators of active landslide prone terrains, and to identify the stratigraphic variations dominant in the region.
A visit to the cold desert of India is a dream come true of every traveller. My journey to places in the Greater Himalayan range was embarked for studing the climatic responses of the glaciers in the region. The journey set forth a tranverse through spectacular geological formations deformed in complex ways illustrating the journey of the Indian plate towards the Eurasian plate 130 million years ago.
Kerala, bestowed with natural beauty, the tropical state displays versatile geological treasures. Travelling within the state, I had a chance to visit the landslide affected regions of Malappuram, world famous cliffed Quaternary deposits of Varkala, and the tranquil backwaters of the Munroe Island.
