Understanding Present and Past Arctic Environments

Dr. Neloy Khare is Scientific Adviser to the Government of India at MoES. His research areas cover locations including the Antarctic, Arctic, and global oceans. He has 30 years of experience in paleoclimate research. He completed his doctorate on tropical marine regions and Doctor of Science on Southern High latitude marine regions towards environmental/climatic implications. Dr. Khare was granted Honorary and Adjunct Professorships by several Indian Universities. He has published 121 research articles in National and International Scientific journals; edited 3 Special Issues of National Scientific Journals; edited a Special Issue of Polar Science, authored/edited many books, 130 Abstracts have been contributed to various seminars; 23 Popular Science Articles. He has been awarded Awards for his scientific contributions including the Rajiv Gandhi National Award – 2013. Dr. Khare has sailed the Arctic Ocean as a part of “Science PUB” in 2008 and became the first Indian to sail the Arctic Ocean.
