Monsoon low pressure systems (LPS) are one of the major rain bearers during the Indian monsoon season and are associated with more than 50% of the mean monsoon precipitation over the country. Lately, these synoptic systems have transformed from a life provider to a cause of numerous calamities, with disastrous floods at multiple locations. When LPS propagation is analyzed at a decadal time scale, a shrinkage is found in the LPS active region. A consistent pattern is also observed in the mean monsoon precipitation, i.e., a decrease in monsoon precipitation over north India. This recent trend, if it proceeds further into the future, would be catastrophic for the agricultural state of northern India. Through our study, a detailed analysis will be performed to quantify observed and projected future changes in the LPS propagation pattern using reanalysis and CMIP6 global circulation model outputs (GCMs).

IISER Pune invites applications from research oriented students to participate in its Summer Student Programmes. Successful applicants will have an opportunity to participate in the research programmes of IISER-Pune faculty. Research activities in IISER-Pune span both theory and experiment in Biology, Chemistry, Data Science, Earth and Climate Science, Mathematics, Humanities, Physics and Earth Sciences with a strong focus on interdisciplinary research. These summer projects are also an opportunity for students to evaluate the suitability of various programmes at IISER-Pune (Integrated PhD and PhD) for future career choice.
This application form is meant for non-IISER Pune students.
This web registration process is not meant for
Summer fellows selected for IISER-Pune
through other fellowship programmes like IASc and JNCASR.
