Polar Ice and Global Warming in Cryosphere Regions

Dr. Neloy Khare is an Adviser and Scientist G to the government of India at MoES. He has 30 years of experience in the field of paleoclimate research, teaching, science management, administration, coordination for scientific programs (including the Indian Polar Program) etc. Dr. Khare completed his PhD on tropical marine region and has made significant contributions in the field of palaeoclimatology of Southern high latitude regions (the Antarctic and the Southern Ocean) using Micropaleontology as a tool. Dr. Khare has been conferred honorary professor and adjunct professor by many Indian universities. He has a very impressive list of research publications to his credit, has been a guest editor for special issues of scientific journals, and has authored/edited many books published by leading international publishers. The government of India and many professional bodies have bestowed him with prestigious awards for his humble scientific contributions to Climate Change, Oceanography, Polar Science and Southern Oceanography. The most coveted award is the Rajiv Gandhi National Award - 2013 conferred by the Honorable President of India. Dr. Khare has sailed in the Arctic Ocean as a part of “Science PUB” in 2008 during the International Polar Year campaign for scientific exploration and became the first Indian to sail in the Arctic Ocean.
