Overview
I am a Professor and the present Director of School of Oceanographic Studies, Jadavpur University. I have more than two decades research experience in coastal and fluvial geomorphology, natural hazards management, climate change impacts, adaptation, and human migration. I was the India Lead of international research consortium like NERC-UK funded ESPA-Delta, Belmont Forum ‘Deltas’ project and IDRC-DfID funded ‘DECCMA’ project, and currently in UKRI-GCRF ‘Living Deltas’ Hub. Lead Author of the IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate in the Chapter 4: Sea Level Rise and Implications for Low Lying Islands, Coasts and Communities.
"I believe that “Happiness derived from good relationships and achieving the goals”, while it does or not encompasses the common notion of becoming successful, I would prefer to establish me as essential in my team and organization. "

I have more than 20 years of experience in teaching, research and student supervision. My basic training is in natural science, where I have learned the complex interaction between the natural components and the atmospheric circulation. The understanding and experience about this dynamic system were gradually achieved through rigorous field observations. Subsequently, the more critical nexus between the natural and social systems learned through several interdisciplinary research hubs, where I have to lead the country team. As a leader, I always tried to maintain transparency, mutual respect and trust with my partners, beyond any personal bias. In fact, we started projecting us as Team-India instead of putting my name as Lead. The early career researchers were trained with high priority to excel in their future endeavour.
