Yamuna Sali A S

About

I focus on reconstructing the Holocene climate of southern India by analyzing multi-proxy datasets from lake sediment archives. My research examines the spatial variability of climate during extreme cold and dry conditions, providing insights into regional climate dynamics over millennia. Beyond research, I am passionate about teaching and mentoring, actively engaging students through interactive learning, field-based studies, and practical sessions.
