Work in Progress

• Urban Heat Island dynamics and land cover change — Ongoing work examining urban heat island patterns, land surface temperature, and land cover transitions across rapidly urbanizing regions.
• Atmospheric Water Generation feasibility and climate adaptation — Research on atmospheric water generation as a climate adaptation strategy, including spatial assessment of moisture availability, terrestrial water stress, energy constraints, and infrastructure access.
• Water resource modeling under climate and land use change in Bengaluru source watersheds — Ongoing analysis of precipitation, actual evapotranspiration, runoff, and infiltration dynamics under future climate and land cover scenarios.
• System dynamics and spatial modeling for water security — Continued work on integrating geospatial analysis and system dynamics approaches to assess long term water security and sustainability under multiple stressors.
