Indian Ocean Circulation and Climate Variabilities during the Quaternary | Dr. Sunil Kumar Singh

In this insightful lecture, Dr. Sunil Kumar Singh, Director of the CSIR-National Institute of Oceanography, delves into the complex dynamics of Indian Ocean circulation and its influence on climate variability during the Quaternary period. Drawing from his extensive research in Earth and Ocean Sciences and low-temperature isotope geochemistry, Dr. Singh explores how changes in ocean circulation have shaped regional and global climates. He also discusses the broader implications of these changes on monsoons, ocean-atmosphere interactions, and the global carbon cycle.

This talk is a must-watch for anyone interested in paleoceanography, climate science, or the Indian Ocean's role in climate systems. Dr. Singh's expertise, which has earned him prestigious accolades such as the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize and the National Geoscience Award, provides a deep understanding of this critical area of research.
