Contact me: vineet@wii.gov.in

I have a background in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, with all my degrees in Zoology from the Lucknow University. I worked for my Ph.D. on fish assemblages and river-interlinking and it was a collaborative doctorate with the Lucknow University and NBFGR (National Bureau of Fish Genetic Resources). I have been associated with the project NMSHE since its phase-I and have since past five years, conducted extensive research to assess climate change impacts on the aquatic and terrestrial wild fauna of Himalayan ecosystems. Concerningly, never had an understanding been built on how the Himalayan freshwater taxa are likely to respond to climate change. This research of mine is now in process of being translated into policy-decisions in Indian Himalaya. I am also currently experimenting on ways to build stronger ecological niche models for restricted range fauna, which would address the constraints of paced-up anthropogenic land-use change in Himalaya. I delight in reading, statistics and data-visualization, whenever I get time off from field.
