During my Ph.D., I focused on Quaternary sea-level research based on geomorphological landforms. I have worked on the improvement of beachrock as a sea-level indicator by sedimentological facies analysis and also studied the ichnology of beachrock and coastal (bioerosion) notches. My main expertise includes sedimentology, carbonate geochemistry, geomorphology and sea-level research.

As a trained geologist specializing in sedimentary geology, stratigraphy, sea level science and sequence stratigraphy, my research revolves around my enduring fascination with sea level change and sediment transportation. I focus on the reconstruction of past sea levels through diverse proxies and techniques across various temporal and geographic scales. These reconstructions provide valuable insights into past ice sheet configurations, palaeoclimate conditions, and vertical movements of the Earth

I’m an earth systems geographer using tree rings and lake sediments to study paleoclimate, hydroclimatic processes, and the interaction between the climate and human systems. I specialize in dendrochronological reconstructions over the Common Era and my research aims to understand the role of climate variability in changing water resources.

I’m an archaeologist currently working on the Palaeolithic hominin behaviour in the Middle Wainganga basin, Central India. My research is focused on the behavioural implications of the distribution of Palaeolithic sites and the technological strategies noted during the Acheulian and the Late Palaeolithic phase.

My academic credentials include degrees in Archaeology, Geography, and Environmental Studies. I have also received trainings in geoarchaeology, micromorphology, and soil analysis. My interest in human-environment interactions and my trainings, qualify me to be an expert in the aforementioned domains. Currently, I am working on geological and archaeological stratigraphy spanning all chronologies using micromorphological techniques.

I’m a postdoctoral researcher, with expertise in the application and

development of trapped charge techniques of luminescence and electron spin

resonance, not only as classical dating methods but also as a provenance tool.

My primary research interests lie in the application of these techniques to gain

insight into the timing, rates and processes of landscape-climate interaction

during the Quaternary.

I am a geologist that researches Active Tectonics, Neotectonics, and Paleoseismology in distinct tectonic settings in the world. My research focuses on the characterization of the deformation in sediments, rocks, and landforms. For that I conduct field surveys, frequently supported by remote sensing analysis, and when possible complemented with geophysical, geodetic, and geochronologic data.

I am working now as a post-doc at Chieti-Pescara University, Italy. I am a geologist working on active tectonics and earthquake geology in extensional settings. My research interests focus on detecting tectonic signals from landforms by morphotectonics and deformed sediments through paleoseismological investigations

Sudhir is a postdoc at the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru. He is a paleoclimatologist, working on the reconstruction of the Indian monsoon and associated changes in the Indian Ocean during the Quaternary. His research uses micropaleontology and trace element and isotope geochemistry in biogenic carbonates as proxies.
