Jayesh works as an AberDoc and President's Scholar for a PhD in Physical Geography in the Earth Surface Processes Research Group at the Department of Geography and Earth Sciences, Aberystwyth University, Wales, UK. His research interest mainly lies in understanding the fluvio-aeolian interactions and ecosystem services in arid landscapes of the Thar desert, including the evolution, behaviour, patterns and morphodynamics of ephemeral rivers forming inland deltaic system known as ‘floodout’. The other areas of research interest which draw him to solve real-life issues are based on disaster risk reduction and resiliency among the various local communities.
