Praveen K. Mishra

About

Hi, I am a sedimentologist, (bio)geochemist and limnologist, working on aquatic systems (e.g., lakes, rivers, estuaries), to understand the impact of various environmental parameters on these systems. In addition, I am also associated with testing and developing climate-sensitive proxies and their implication in understanding paleoclimatic changes in various lake systems.
