Ternikar Chirag Rajendra

Chirag is a PhD student at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), India. His core research includes leveraging satellite data for estimating key environmental variables, including soil properties, evapotranspiration (ET), land surface temperature (LST), land use and land cover (LULC), lake water availability, and flood susceptibility. Currently, his work focuses on remote sensing of soils, aiming to make both quantitative and qualitative predictions of key soil properties like texture, organic carbon, N, P, CEC, etc using laboratory spectra.

Knowledge gaps in our understanding of the Hydrological Cycle  The water cycle continuously provides us with fresh water.  A critical process in the water cycle is evapotranspiration (ET), meaning that water evaporates from the surface and transpires from plants into the atmosphere. ET plays a crucial role in climate stability and the regulation of global water resources, but it is one of the most ...[Read More]
