Hi .... Welcome !!!!

I’m Sandipan Paul, an Earth System Scientist exploring the intricate connections between hydrology, ecology, and climatology. Currently, I serve as a Prime Minister Research Fellow (Research Scholar) at the Centre of Studies in Resources Engineering (CSRE), Indian Institute of of Technology Bombay, where my work sits at the crossroads of land, atmosphere, and human influence. My doctoral research investigates land–atmosphere feedbacks — unraveling how soil moisture, evapotranspiration, vapor pressure deficit, and precipitation interact, and how these relationships shift under dry hydroclimatic extremes, such as drought and heatwaves. Through statistical analysis, coupling strength evaluation, and causal inference, I aim to illuminate the invisible threads linking the land and the sky. Fascinated by the delicate balance of Earth’s interconnected spheres, I have devoted my career to understanding the dynamic interplay of the atmosphere and hydrosphere. My interests span Indian Summer Monsoon rainfall, tropical systems, hydrometeorology, soil hydrology, ecohydrology, and the soil–plant–atmosphere continuum — all essential to decoding how our planet’s water and climate systems function.
