About

Dr. Shruti Kanga is a leading environmental scientist whose research focuses on aerosol dynamics, climate change, and the Himalayan energy budget. Her most-cited work, “Aerosol Characteristics and Their Impact on the Himalayan Energy Budget” (2021), with 17 citations, provides critical insights into how aerosol optical depth (AOD) variations between the plains and alpine regions of the Indian Himalayan Region (IHR) disrupt the region’s energy balance. This study underscores the alarming implications of increasing aerosol burdens on Himalayan climate systems, a vital area for understanding global warming impacts. Dr. Kanga’s contributions are pivotal for policymakers and researchers tackling atmospheric pollution and its cascading effects on glacial melt, water resources, and regional weather patterns. Her work bridges gaps in high-altitude climate science, offering data-driven solutions for sustainable development. With a growing citation record, she is recognized for advancing knowledge on aerosol-climate interactions, making her a key voice in environmental research. Her achievements highlight the urgency of addressing anthropogenic aerosols in fragile mountain ecosystems.
