PhD admissions open at Ashoka. We have one open position in our lab on understanding fire-climate-vegetation interactions across the Holocene using palaeo-ecological methods and ecological modeling.

Basically retweeting to see multiple times

First presentation of first PhD student 😁 #atbc

Superb multdisciplinary work on ancient highly fertile anthropogenic Amazonian Dark Earth #terrapreta! Such high organic #carbon, fertile soils are still being created by #indigenous people (Kuikiro), possibly using techniques that were used by ancestors! science.org/content/articl…

Rhinos that are and rhinos that used to be. I missed World Rhino Day again, but it's always a good time to post rhinos, right? A series of rhinos from a couple of years ago, depicting species that have coexisted with modern humans.

Ashoka University is proud to co-host the 'Synthesis Meeting on the Scientific Foundations of Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation by Natural Climate Solutions in South Asia,' led by a six-university consortium and sponsored by NASA and the START program. Join us from April

📢 New paper! We reconstructed 4000 years of historical vegetation using #eDNA targeted capture and #isotopes. We found an #ecosystem shift happened 1000 years ago when the #seagrass environment changed to intertidal #mangroves. Thank you to all who helped get this out there!

There are only ~3,000 Indian wolves in India, compared to upwards of tens of millions of free-ranging dogs in India. Hybridization is a real concern to the survival of the Indian wolf -- an ancient lineage endemic to the Indian subcontinent -- found nowhere else in the world.

Doing field work in summers is a trying time but timing is everything. Arti and Jishnu from Meghna Agarwala laboratory measuring traits of seeds of trees of their interest. #Pachmarhifieldstation #fieldwork #summer #research

Good one 😁

Faculty #hiring at Ashoka University. Please help spread the word. We’re looking for scholars with an exciting research profile in the #SocialSciences. #AcademicTwitter

Researchers use #AI and satellite cum field based drone images to uncover hundreds of new #geoglyphs or ancient designs from #Nazca, southern #Peru. The study [pnas.org/doi/full/10.10…] provides more information on the motivations for these unique designs! sciencealert.com/hundreds-of-my…

PhD students Shikhar Srivastava and Niranjan Balagopal getting their drone pilot license. #remotesensing #UAVs. Exciting research to follow.

Mid-term Ph.D. openings at Ashoka for JRFs. I will also be taking a student.

A 25 km hike with the team navigating through the mid Himalayas of Chamba in search of old growth forests and plantations, meeting shepherds and making friends along the way.
