Indrani Pal, PhD: Studied ''Rainfall changes in India and their implications on soil erosion and contaminants'' at University of Cambridge, UK. Post-doctoral research scientist in the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI - The Earth Institute, Columbia University).
This thesis converted book is based on an assessment on the impact that climate trends may have on soil erosion and contaminant transport in India and an examination on the potential for top soil management practices to improve or maintain soil quality. Historical rainfall data from 50-135 years and extreme temperature data for 103 years were analysed and long term trends were assessed for various aspects of Indian climates using suitable statistical techniques. The whole work has highlighted the importance of regional climatological analysis with the large scale spatial averages especially at local decision making level, which is very useful for the broad scenarios such as climatological and ecological risk management.
