I am a Ph.D. scholar focused on Triple Oxygen Isotope systematics. My work utilizes 17O-excess to understand the nuances of the Indian Monsoon, specifically investigating how convective processes impact relative humidity proxies and surface-groundwater connectivity. My current work focuses on analyzing specific oxygen isotopes in rain, rivers, and groundwater to understand how storm patterns affect humidity and how surface water refills underground aquifers. Previously, I studied ancient climates through Kosi river sediments and Dalmiapuram rock formations. Additionally, I'm also engaged in a company, AllGeo Solutions, a leading and dynamic organization dedicated to providing comprehensive solutions in the fields of Geology, Hydrogeology, Geophysical survey, Groundwater exploration, and Environmental Services across the country.
