This research group seeks scientific answers to
emerging water, climate, and environmental issues. Currently, we focus on
(a) remote sensing of hydroclimatic and
environmental hazards.
(b) advanced modelling of extreme weather
events under changing climate, and
(c) water quality assessment and modelling.
Interested to learn and work with us? (PhD, MS and Post-Doc’s are always
welcome)

Shushobhit chaired a session tilted “Impacts and Consequences of Changing Climate and Land-use on Hydrology (HS20)” in 22nd Annual Meeting of the Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS 2025), Singapore, 27 July -1 Aug 2025.
Sudarshan received a merit-based reduced registration award to present his work titled " Exploring the Linkage Between Vegetation Dynamics and Evaporative Drought Conditions in India" in 22nd Annual Meeting of the Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS 2025), Singapore, 27 July -1 Aug 2025.
Shushobhit and Prof. Vittal H's research group found an east–west asymmetry in heatwave severity, duration, and frequency over Northern India. This study provides insights into Northern India heatwaves and their causes, which is essential for designing regional adaption plans across India. Read More
