Project Scientist, Hydrology Group

The unprecedented need to study climate processes reinvigorated my interest in hitherto climate and related processes over past millennial to centennial time scales. The prime focus of my research is to understand the major forcing factors acting on climate perturbations during the last few millennia and their significance on global ocean atmosphere processes using natural archives.
