Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Problems and Solutions

Dr. Nirmali Bordoloi has been working as an assistant professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences, Central University of Jharkhand since 2017. She completed her doctorate degree in environmental science from Tezpur University. Dr. Nirmali has worked as a research associate at ICAR, Umiam, Meghalaya. Her research interests are mitigation of anthropogenic greenhouse gases from agriculture and environmental soil science. She is also working on carbon sequestration in agricultural soil through different soil management practices. She is involved in teaching the thrust areas of environmental sciences like environmental chemistry, soil science, climate change and current issues, and environmental auditing and management. She has published 16+ research papers in international journals and 10+ books chapters. Dr. Kuldeep Bauddh is currently an associate professor at Institute of Environment and Sustainable Development, Rajeev Gandhi South Campus, Banaras Hindu University, Barkachha (Mirzapur). He received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Environmental Science from the Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow, India. Dr. Bauddh is currently teaching thrust areas of environmental sciences like environmental pollution and management, environmental toxicology and environmental impact assessment. His main research areas are phytoremediation and sustainable agriculture. He has edited eight books, published 60+ research papers and 32+ book chapters with internationally and national reputed publishers. Prof. K.K. Baruah is currently serving as a professor and Dean at the School of Life Sciences, School of Bio Sciences and School of Environment and Earth Sciences at Royal Global University, Guwahati. He superannuated from Tezpur University in 2018. He has a doctorate in plant physiology from Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana in 1979 and post-doctorate from Moscow State University, Moscow (1986 to 1989). He also worked as a visiting scientist at Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Beijing, China (during 2008) and at National Physical Laboratory, New Delhi (1997 to 1999).He has published 160+ research papers, several book chapters and two books.
