Introduction
Currently, I am working on a NERC project which aims to produce a novel Greenland Ice Sheet mass balance history from AD 1600-2023. I also intend to produce Greenland Ice Sheet mass projections until 2100 to assess the impact on global sea-level change and Greenland Ice Sheet-climate interactions. During my PhD, I explored the crucial impact of Western Disturbances (WDs) using a tracking algorithm in modulating the mass-balance of the Karakoram-Himalayan glaciers: present & future

Article
Western disturbances (WDs) are upper-tropospheric mid-latitude synoptic systems propagating eastward along the subtropical westerly jet stream. They are capable of causing extreme precipitation events and have strengthened their impact over the Karakoram part of the Himalayas in recent decades. They play a crucial role in the sustenance of the “Kar...

Western disturbances (WDs) are upper-tropospheric synoptic-scale cyclonic storms that travel eastwards embedded in the subtropical westerly jet stream. They are of veritable significance to the sustenance of the population in the north and northwest regions of the Indian subcontinent and are often harbingers of extreme precipitation events during t...

The Himalaya plays a vital role in regulating the freshwater availability for nearly a billion people living in the Indus, Ganga, and Brahmaputra River basins. Due to climate change and constantly evolving human-hydrosphere interactions, including land use/cover changes, groundwater extraction, reservoir or dam construction, water availability has...
Article

The tropical cyclones (TCs) are most likely to increase over the North Indian Ocean (NIO) due to rapid heating in a warming climate. However, past studies have made contrasting statements while analyzing different study periods. This study examines the variability of TC’s characteristics such as severity, frequency, and longevity over the Arabian S...

In contrast to the general retreat of glaciers across the globe, the glaciers of the Karakoram (KR) region of Karakoram-Himalayas (KH) have displayed an anomalous divergent response, with some glaciers remaining either stable or surging. This phenomenon is known as the "Karakoram Anomaly." Although many factors are reported to have control over it...

The global retreat in glaciers is considered to be one of the critical indicators of climate change. However, the glaciers of the Karakoram (KR) region of Karakoram-Himalayas (KH) stand out because of their divergent response, displaying a surge as opposed to glaciers in other regions. This phenomenon is known as the “Karakoram Anomaly.” Although m...

An effort is made to implement a regional earth system model (RESM); ROM, over CORDEX-South Asia (SA). The added value of RESM is assessed for mean precipitation, its variability (intraseasonal to interannual), extremes, and associated processes. In this regard, ROM’s fields are compared with the respective fields of its standalone version (REMO),...

An effort is made to investigate the tropical cyclone (TC) variability over the Bay of Bengal in the warming climate scenario during the satellite era (1979–2018). In this study, the authors investigate interannual variations in the overall capacity of the Bay of Bengal (BoB) basin in the post‐monsoon season to produce either intense or moderate TC...
Article
For the first time for CORDEX-South Asia, a high-resolution regional earth system model (ROM) is adopted to assess the impact of horizontal resolution (0.22° and 0.11°) in simulating the Indian summer monsoon rainfall (ISMR) and the underlying spatiotemporal variability. ROM at both resolutions bears a close resemblance to observations in simulatin...

Climate change has a detrimental impact on human health due to increasing temperature extremes. It is undoubtedly true over India, where in recent decades a rise in the frequency and intensity of extreme events is witnessed. The present study primarily focuses on understanding the dynamics of the hot season over homogeneous regions of India. Using...
Conference Paper

Glacier retreat is a key indicator of climate variability and change. Karakoram-Himalaya (KH) glaciers are the source of several perennial rivers protecting water security of a large fraction of the global population. The region is highly vulnerable to climate change impacts, hence the sensitivity of KH glaciers to regional microclimate, especially...
