Rising ecological droughts in India due to increase in various aridity forms, ocean warming, anthropogenic intrusions during shifting monsoon!

It's time now to consider the ecological ramifications of moisture stress into policies.

Indian forests exhibit hindered ability to translate structure (greeness) into functioning (carbon uptake) in recent decades. To decipher this,we for the first time computed Ecosystem Photosynthetic Efficiency (EPE) for Indian forests

Happy to share that:

l have delivered my PhD pre-submission (synopsis) seminar and submitted my thesis for PhD in Earth System Science at CORAL, IIT Kharagpur, India!

Just a seminar away from my childhood dream!

Greatful! Humbled!

Hope I can contribute something significant to my domain!

Can tropical cyclones πŸŒ€ trigger terrestrial greening response? ☘️ 🌿🌱

Yes! About 34.6% of them did in India during 2000-2020!

How ?

Find it in our recent study@ npj clim & atmos sci.

It's open access:
