Investigating the in-situ production and processing of aquatic fluorescent organic matter by freshwater bacteria (2024)
Thesis

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is one of the largest reservoirs of carbon on the planet, and is ubiquitous throughout aquatic systems. It plays an essential role in global biogeochemical cycles and the transport and storage of carbon through the hydr...

The in situ production of aquatic fluorescent organic matter in a simulated freshwater laboratory model (2022)
Journal Article

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is ubiquitous throughout aquatic systems. Fluorescence techniques can be used to characterize the fluorescing proportion of DOM, aquatic fluorescent organic matter (AFOM). AFOM is conventionally named in association wit...

Water quality across the River Ganga basin in India: Trends, dominant geochemical processes and impacts (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In a basin-wide survey of the River Ganga and key tributaries, from the Himalayan source to the Bay of Bengal in India, we aim to improve the conceptual understanding of downstream water quality trends along > 2000 km. Here we explore the spatial di... Read More about Water quality across the River Ganga basin in India: Trends, dominant geochemical processes and impacts.

Using in-situ sensors to quantify spatial variability in nutrient concentrations across the Ganges river basin (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

There is increasing interest in monitoring spatial variability in biogeochemical processes using field deployable sensors. Despite this, rigorous assessments of accuracy and optimal sensor configurations remain limited for such applications. We under...

Taking the pulse of Mother Ganga - Revealing the visible and invisible water pollution crisis along the Ganges River (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

It is probably hard to overestimate the significance of the River Ganges for its spiritual, cultural and religious importance. As the worlds’ most populated river basin and a major water resource for the 400 million people inhabiting its catchment, t...

Sediment and surface water microplastic contamination along the Ganges River, from the Himalayan foothills to the tidal reach downstream of Kolkata, India (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Twenty rivers have been estimated previously to account for almost 70% of global plastic emissions to the marine environment. Of these, the Ganges River was second only to the Yangtze River. Yet, scale and complexity of the Ganges River network make...
