School of Earth, Ocean and Climate Sciences

Research

RESEARCH AND CONSULTANCY

The faculty members are specialized in the field of Climate Change, Environmental Geochemistry, Hydro-Geochemistry, Isotope Geochemistry, Soil and Water Contamination, Environmental Impact Assessment, Marine Geophysics, Tropical Cyclone Modeling, Cloud Microphysics, Aerosols and Climate, Tropical Dynamics, Satellite Oceanography, Ocean Modeling, Paleoclimatology, Paleoceanography, Micropaleontology, Monsoon Variability, Hydrogeology, and Oceanography etc.
The School has advance laboratories and research facilities, which are continuously getting augmented. Realizing the potential of the School Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India has sanctioned the initial grant to establish the Bay of Bengal Coastal Observatory (BoBCO) at the Innovation Centre for Climate Change near Gopalpur.
