Studying the impact of climate change on the biosphere through palynology, palaeoecology, and ecological niche modelling.
Studying the impact of climate change on the biosphere through palynology, palaeoecology, and ecological niche modelling.
I work on vegetation dynamics in response to climate change over a range of timescales with a concern for human-environment interactions in past, present, and future. This involves, elucidating the impact of past global climate change on the ecology of terrestrial and deltaic systems. I study palaeoecological records of vegetation biomes, field datasets and ecological niche models to understand and predict the impact of global warming on the biosphere. I hold expertise in mangrove palynology, palaeoecology, palaeoclimatology and vegetation modelling. My ongoing research work focuses on quantification of pollen-based reconstructions of past landcover for several time windows to produce vegetation descriptions useful for Earth system modelling.
Fossil pollen-based quantification of vegetation cover over a range of timescales with a concern for paleoclimate reconstruction and human-environment interactions in the past, present, and future.
Mitigate the effects of climate change on forest biodiversity by effectively targeting conservation strategies through modelling species distributions to identify priority conservation areas where sensitive species exist or likely exist.
Interpret past vegetation, environment and ecology through ecological models developed based on high-resolution paleoclimatic records in order to accurately predict future climate change scenarios.
Record mangrove vegetation changes in response to climate variability and relative sea level rise/fall through the investigation of estuarine sediments from the coasts of India.
High-quality and chronologically well-constrained pollen records from long and continuous deep-sea sedimentary sequences collected near the continents document the past changes in the vegetation and climate of the adjacent landmasses.
Mangrove fossil records from Late Cretaceous till Miocene time are assessed to identify the migration pattern mangrove taxa and interpret the palaeoclimate shifts which led to the dispersal and extinction of this highly specialized ecosystem in their respective regions.
