I am not available on phones. Communicate only through e-mails.
Contact Mr. Satadal: satadalsingharoy@gmail.com to add up in the whatsapp group of my online teaching. From time to time my online teaching schedules and topics are announced there.
Taught Structural Geology course (theory and practical; M.S.Geo.1.03) to M.Sc. 1st Yr Geology students in St Xavier’s College (Mumbai) in 2019 (July-December) on a pro bono basis, in terms of visiting guest lectures.

http://scitechconnect.elsevier.com/interview-with-prof-soumyajit-mukherjee/
Worked on several aspects/methods of tectonics and structural geology (field-based, analogue and analytical models, microstructures etc.). Touched diverse tectonic regimes (collisional, conservative and extensional) and rock types (igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary). Worked on both terrain-specific and terrain-nonspecific conceptual issues. My long-term aim is to develop broad research knowledge in several pure and applied sub-disciplines of tectonics and structural geology rather than becoming a super specialist on a very focused research/geographic area. Still then, most of my works deal with shear zones, ductile shear zones in particular, from collisional setting. Following the ongoing trend, I have used (elementary) fluid mechanics and statics to explain ductile deformation phenomena and stability issues. I have worked on age old research issues (shear zone kinematics) as well as participated in recent debates (crustal channel flow), and issues on rheology (viscosity, rock behaviour at depth) and thermodynamics (shear heating). I have been reorienting as per research students’ keen interest on specific topics. Exploring interlink between structural geology and other aspects of geosciences, sometimes alone and sometimes with multidisciplinary teams (mathematicians, civil and mechanical engineers and geographers).

Teaching strategy:
- Students would be hired by companies not just to work as “Structural Geologist” but also as “Geoscientist”. There are many professionals who were trained as a geologists but presently are working on both geological and geophysical industrial aspects. So the responsibility of the instructor is to show the students not just detail of of the specific geoscientific branch, but also how one particular branch works well with other branches. Keeping this in mind, I refer geohydrological, mining-related, geophysical, seismological, reservoir geomechanical, petrophysical, and remote sensing issues while teaching structural geology, and demonstrate interrelations amongst geoscience branches. For example isostasy in tectonics, Ghyben-Herzberg relation for saline water intrusion in geohydrology, and diapirism all have a simple single principle of fluid mechanics. Likewise, instead of talking solely about the geometry and genesis of fractures, I conduct elementary problem solving on single- and multi-phase fluid flow through fractured media. The word “asperity” makes different senses to a hydrologist and a seismologist, and both the views are explained.
- Most of the times I use black board. In almost all my theory and practical classes, I usually conduct 20 minutes of lecture and next 20 minutes of practical/numerical problem solving. This was students can quickly grasp and memorize theories better, and they do not get “bored” with long lectures. In a way, some of my classes are neither strictly theoretical nor of practical but a mix of both.
- We have a hill inside the IIT Bombay campus, and I sometimes take students straight from the classroom to show geological features there.
- I conduct group discussion on selected tectonic problems after finishing a few theory and practical classes. This makes the class more interactive.
- Students usually have to deliver seminars on latest research problems in the class. These are the subjects that will come to text books in coming 15 years.
- I have added in my teaching materials the followings, to stay up to date:1. cross-section balancing, 2. fault seal analysis, 3.well bore stability, 4. principles of analogue modeling (dynamic scaling), 5. passive margin tectonics (because currently it is of maximum attention for hydrocarbon exploration), 6. isostasy (an old concept but that still works!), 7. structural diagenesis, and 8. hyper-extended crust; 9. tectonic overpressure, and 10. problems on solid mechanics/statics, dynamics, fluid mechanics and rheology that are relevant to geoscience students. I have created some new structural geological problems (someday will write a book on it) and conduct those in the class. I provide some very latest research materials in an easy language along with conventional materials in the class.
- In one of my classes, students would be asked to set question paper from the materials taught by me. Their batch mate have to solve those questions and return answer paper for cross check by their peers. I find this exercise to be very effective in generating interest on their subjects. Students are forced to relook at the materials taught, frame critical questions, and when asked by their batch mates on why they deduced marks, they need to clarify.

Experiences in handling ‘large classes’ involving engineering students:
I keep asking engineering students why they opt for my geology courses and received the following answers:
- Geology is an easy, scoring subject. Unlike physics and fluid dynamics, geological questions are somehow straight forward.
- Bio- and geo-sciences are going to dominate in future. Given a chance, better learn the basics.
- Civil engineering students are more interested since they deal geological cases, especially- in geotechnical engineering.
- Few want to appear in national competitive exams, such as IFS, IAS, and they believe geology and geography papers are more scoring.
- Many are interested in oil industry jobs, and they look for geological education.
- A few join out of pure interest in geosciences. Seldom I received significant research inputs from them!
In addition, I am always interested to interact with engineering students since they give better input on deformation mechanism than the geology students. For example, the concept of bending of beams taught in civil engineering can be imported in flexing of rocks.
