Experiences:
1. Ph.D work in (2014 – Present): Use of elements and isotope to understand a large river system: A case study in the river Ganga, India
To understand the contribution of different source of water into the river Ganga (Glacier ice melt, Rain and Groundwater) and to look at the carbon and nitrogen cycle of the system.
Guide: Dr. Prasanta Sanyal
