Abstract
Sarbani Patranabis-Deb was an impressive multi-disciplinary earth scientist grounded on conventional scientific method of examining the rocks in the field. She was born in West Bengal, India on the 13th November, 1966 and passed away in Kolkata, India on the 31st October, 2022. Sarbani was an accomplished sedimentologist, stratigrapher, sandstone petrologist, volcanic geologist, geochronologist, tectonics specialist, basin analyst, and a global geologist. She had a remarkable career in academia by joining the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) in 1997. I had the privilege of getting to know Sarbani both professionally and personally during the past 20 years since her obtaining Ph.D. in 2001. It was serendipity that the Directors of ISI requested my professional evaluation of her academic performance in 2008, 2013, and 2019 towards her career advancements at ISI. Although my research interest focuses primarily on deep-water processes (Shanmugam, 2021, 2022), Sarbani and I had many common interests of research domains, which included deltaic sedimentation, shelf sedimentation, tidal sedimentation, sequence stratigraphy, sediment deformation, tectonics, and diagenesis. We both published articles on fan deltas (McPherson et al., 1987; Patranabis-Deb and Chaudhuri, 2007).
