BRIEF BIO
|
I teach physical oceanography at the Cochin University of Science and Technology. I am mainly involved in research on estuaries, termed as monsoonal
estuaries that come under monsoons' influence. I also carry out ship-board observations of physical and biogeochemical aspects of the north Indian Ocean and work on coupled models to simulate it.
