Estuarine Biogeochemical Dynamics of the East Coast of India

Dr. Sourav Das is a Researcher in the School of Oceanographic Studies at Jadavpur University, India. His research interests include biogeochemistry of marine and coastal water, ocean remote sensing, optical properties of water (inherent & apparent optical properties), and air quality monitoring.Prof. Tuhin Ghosh is Professor and Director of the School of Oceanographic Studies at Jadavpur University, India. He has more than two decades of research experience in coastal geomorphology, disaster management, climate change impacts, adaptation strategies, and human migration.
