Our Programmes
Explore how CCS is redefining the fight against climate change through bold innovation and impactful research. With sustainability at our core, we bring together a community of visionary thinkers and collaborators dedicated to building a resilient, thriving future for our planet.
Core Faculty
Vishal Dixit
Assistant Professor
Our group works on different aspects of tropical climate dynamics with a special fascination for Monsoon Dynamics. We use satellite and ground based observations to learn about new features of monsoons and then use an army of models (starting from Climate Models ~ 100km grid-boxes to Cloud Resolving Models ~ 1km grid-boxes) to replicate these feature with an aim to ultimately understand the underlying processes.
