Designing Nature-Inspired Honeycomb Aerogels for Cleaner Air and a Cooler Planet
We are excited to share the journey behind our recently published article, Biomimetic Aerogels with Hierarchical Honeycomb Architecture for Superior CO₂ Adsorption, Selectivity, and Structural Integrity.
Seasonal AOD analysis based on AERONET observations in North and West Africa over 2010–2019
This study analyzes AOD and AE data (2010–2019) from AERONET to classify aerosols over Eurafrican stations. Results show Saharan dust dominates in the east, while finer aerosols appear in the west. Seasonal cycles highlight the monsoon as the main dust period.
Between Rainfall and Resilience: Understanding Drought Trends in the Niger River Basin
This study explored how rainfall variability and drought patterns are shifting across the Niger River Basin in Nigeria. Using advanced statistical tools, it reveals key changes in seasonal rainfall and drought intensity, offering insights critical to water, agriculture, and ecosystem resilience.
Coastal water quality management - My Journey Towards Sustainable Coastal Ecosystems
### Pioneering Water Quality Management:
In the heart of India's coastal landscape lies a pressing challenge—ensuring the health and sustainability of our aquatic ecosystems while accommodating the growing demands of industry and urbanization.
The challenging life of Miocene corals
By studying exceptionally preserved fossils of reef corals that lived millions of years ago, we are discovering how coral calcification responded to past climate change, i.e., higher temperatures and seawater acidification.
