Brief Introduction
I teach environmental physics to students in the School of Environmental Studies. My area of research is focused on the impact of climate change on the environment. Currently I focus on climate change and the impacts of Geo-engineering on the climate and ecosystem. I also study the variability in the Indian monsoon and North Indian Ocean tropical cyclones.
