RESOURCES DEVELOPED
User-supported open-access paleoclimate database for the Indian sub-continent (2016-): Collaborated with the Indian Institute of Meteorology (IITM-Pune) and the Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS-Bangalore) to develop a user-supporter database to make long-term climate and environmental proxy data (slated for a 2021 release) available to scientists and environmental stakeholders. Also will be available at IITM
