Title of Ph.D. Thesis: Holocene monsoon variability inferred from paleo lake sediments,
Ladakh Himalayas.
Areas of research interests:
The study of ancient lake deposits has been helped immeasurably by limnologists, sedimentologists, and
geochemists, by making observations on active lakes, Pleistocene lakes and their Holocene residues.
Paleoclimatic information may be contained in the nature of the basin itself as well as in the material that filled it.
Every lake deposit is testimony to at least two important environmental changes, one initiating lacustrine
deposition and the other terminating it. Climatic factors may be involved in either or both events. For instance,
glacial lakes often form during a warming trend, and they can be recognized from the shape of the basins and the
fact that many are dammed by moraines. Tectonic events unrelated to overall climatic change may lead to
steepened hydraulic gradients and increased precipitation in the watershed and hence earlier filling of the basin.
Filling and choking with sediment probably is the most common death of lakes, but lakes can also dry up. In that
case, a clear record is usually left in the sediment in the form of an evaporitic terminal stage or by a lake level
marker.

Title of Ph.D. Thesis: Genesis of Mesoproterozoic chert facies of the Salkhan Limestone, Son
Valley, Vindhyan Supergroup: microbial assemblage and Biostratigraphic implications.
Areas of research interests:
The research area of interest is the sedimentological and micropaleontological studies backed by a sound
knowledge of the various geological processes in relation to the petroleum / fuel industry. Owing to my research
understanding worked on dissertation thesis on the Quaternary deposits during post-graduation studies. An
abstract has published earlier in 2011 entitled “Understanding of the Geological Evolution of Surat Depression
and Development of Hydrocarbon Pools in Contigeous Area”. Presently, engaged in the palaeobiological
investigations and sedimentological studies with special reference to genesis of siliceous chert in the Semri Group
of rocks in the Son Valley area.
