Research Interest

My objective incorporates working to analyze climate change based on multi-proxy data from the diversified geographical regions of India (western coastal margins and offshore regions of Arabian Sea). My research aim is to develop the understanding of climate change from local to global geographical extent and precise time scales, spatial and temporal variations in palaeoproductivity and palaeoecology reconstruction, signature of relative sea level changes and monsoonal behaviour pattern using diatoms and palynofacies datasets. Moreover, I would like to gain knowledge about the possible relationship of nutrients, CHNS and isotopic variations with the biological inputs and possible linkages with regard to diatoms.
