Research for Societal Needs
Exploring climate dynamics, atmospheric chemistry, and leveraging modern AI/ML.
Tropical Cyclones and Climate Change
Investigating how human-induced climate change, warming surface oceans, and atmospheric moisture influence tropical cyclones.
Arctic Ozone Loss and Antarctic Ozone Hole
Studying the exceptional depletion of ozone in the stratosphere and tracking how climatic changes impact Arctic ozone loss.
AI/ML Applications in Earth System Science
Leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve weather forecasting, climate process simulation, and flood risk prediction.
Atmospheric Chemistry Modelling & Future Projections
Advanced modelling of atmospheric chemistry fields to understand past climate shifts and simulate future environmental projections.
The Third Pole
Researching the climate dynamics, glacial retreat, and hydrological changes occurring in the Hindu Kush Himalayan region.
Temperature
Examining long-term global and regional surface temperature trends, heatwaves, thermal anomalies, and the broader climatic consequences of shifting thermal patterns.
Agricultural Emissions and Pollution
Studying greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural practices, the severe impact of crop residue burning, and fertilizer-induced pollution on regional air and environmental quality.
Stratospheric Sudden Warmings
Researching sudden stratospheric warming events, their influence on the polar vortex, and how these upper-atmosphere disruptions propagate downwards to severely affect tropospheric weather patterns.
Atmospheric Input and Ocean Biogeochemistry
Investigating the deposition of atmospheric aerosols and nutrients into the oceans and understanding their profound impact on marine biogeochemical cycles and aquatic ecosystems.
Atmospheric Pollution and Rural Air Quality
Monitoring atmospheric pollutants, tracking the dispersion of particulate matter, and evaluating the specific socio-economic and health impacts of degraded air quality in rural environments.
Vegetation Carbon Dynamics and Climate
Exploring the interactions between terrestrial vegetation and the carbon cycle, focusing on how climate change alters carbon sequestration, deforestation impacts, and global biomass distribution.
Water Vapour and Climate Change
Analyzing the role of water vapour as a dominant greenhouse gas, tracking its increasing tropospheric concentrations, and modeling its feedback loop on global warming and extreme weather events.
