Presently researching based on Sea Turtles and Human Migration happened in the past by Tamil Community. He is also doing extensive research on Kumari Kandam. 

A graduate of physics, through self-study a bachelor in engineering and also in library science, remote sensing and his moving to Orissa in 1989 was a turning point for him, for it kindled his interest on the Orissan culture.

Mr.S. Balasubramani researching in lost cities and turtle guided ocean routes for mapping the turtle corridor along the Indian coast and Indo pacific ocean. His interaction with the people around when he travels outside Tamil Nadu, which he has been doing very frequently and his establishing rapport with the coastal community and learning from the people, are a few examples of his novel approach. That he could attract the attention of Orissan royalty and the resulting friendship with it is another dimension of his personality.

Kumrikandam and Lemuria were involved in marine exploration.  Consequently, a number of studies in the sea have been done by analyzing the seabed populations of the sea, comparing the concepts of Lemuria Kumarikandam, the sea with the sea, and the southern seas, using modern marine technology integration and ocean exploration.  He is doing field surveys at sea.  Field surveys demonstrate the underlying facts of sea crossing in the Black Sea.  Tamil fishermen benefit from seeing the submerged ruins of the submerged islands become a breeding ground for fish today

Kumari Kandam?

Kumari Kandam (Tamil: குமரிக்கண்டம்) refers to a lost continent with an ancient Tamil civilization, located south of present-day India in the Indian Ocean. Alternative name and spellings include Kumarikkandam and Kumari Nadu

 

In the 19th century, a section of the European and American scholars speculated the existence of a submerged continent called Lemuria, to explain geological and other similarities between Africa, Australia, India and Madagascar. A section of Tamil revivalists adapted this theory, connecting it to the Pandyan legends of lands lost to the ocean, as described in ancient Tamil literature. According to these writers, an ancient Tamil civilization existed on Lemuria, before it was lost to the sea in a catastrophe.
