Dhirendra Kumar Pandey joined the department at Jaipur my research activities concentrated on Kachchh and Jaisalmer basins. In the beginning, he carried out the conventional studies of describing fossil groups, mainly bivalves and ammonites with some new forms of bivalves and ammonites at first stage. This also included first record of Bajocian-Bathonian ammonites from India and partial revision of Jurassic Lamellibranchs taxonomy. These results have already been published in the refereed Journals. He also initiated recognition of ecophenotypic characters and microarchitectures in corals. He have also described and illustrated most of the Jurassic and some Cretaceous corals from Jaisalmer, Jordan, Iran, Tunisia, Tibet, Sicily, Ethiopia and Egypt for the first time. Visualizing the importance to understand better the variation of the facies and microarchitecture and microstructure in the coral skeleton he carried out studies on Quaternary carbonate sediments and corals of Saurashtra, which in turn help in reconstruction of the sea-level curve and the palaeoclimate. Lately, he worked on the Oxfordian and Tithonian ammonites and presently, he involved in taxonomic studies of Kimmeridgian ammonites and Kimmeridgian biostratigraphy of the Kachchh and Jaisalmer basins and of Spiti Himalaya.
