I work on vegetation dynamics in response to climate change over a range of timescales with a concern for human-environment interactions in past, present, and future. This involves, elucidating the impact of past global climate change on the ecology of terrestrial and deltaic systems. It involves palaeoecological records of vegetation biomes, field datasets and ecological niche modelling to understand and predict the impact of global warming on the biosphere. I hold expertise in mangrove palynology, palaeoecology, palaeoclimatology and vegetation modelling. My ongoing research work focuses on quantification of pollen-based reconstructions of past landcover for several time windows to produce vegetation descriptions useful for Earth system modelling.
