Climate Variability of Southern High Latitude Regions

Dr. Neloy Khare presently Adviser / Scientist G to the Government of India at Ministry of Earth Science, has an exceptional understanding not only of administration but also of quality science and research in his areas of expertise covering a large spectrum of geographically distinct locations like Antarctic, Arctic, Southern Ocean, Bay of Bengal, Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean etc. Dr Khare has almost 30 years of experience in the field of paleoclimate research using paleobiology Paleontology) / teaching / science management /administration / coordination for scientific programs (including Indian Polar Program) etc. Dr Khare has been conferred Honorary Professor and Adjunct Professor by many Indian Universities. He has an impressive list of publications to his credit (123 research articles in National and International Scientific journals; 3 Special Issues of National Scientific Journals as Guest Editor; edited Special Issue of Polar Science (Elsevier) as its Managing Editor. Authored/ edited many books, 130 Abstracts have been contributed to various seminars; 25 Popular Science Articles; 5 Technical reports). The government of India and many professional bodies have bestowed him with many prestigious Awards for his scientific contributions to past climate changes/oceanography / polar science and Southern oceanography. The most coveted award is Rajiv Gandhi National Award -2013 conferred by Honorable President of India.
