d8b4bad32e975f1f1e93a4020d9115c4 research overview <p>My broad research interest is in the field of development and application of biogeochemical tracers to understand&nbsp;past changes in ocean chemistry and climate. The main focus is to use&nbsp;trace elements and isotopic compositions of foraminiferal shells and bulk sediment geochemical composition&nbsp;to reconstruct past changes in ocean chemistry, oceanic processes and climate variations on a variety of&nbsp;geological time-scales (centennial to millennial to orbital to tectonic). Another research area of interest is in&nbsp;understanding ecology, calcification, and evolutionary processes in response to climatic changes in marine calcifiers.</p><ul><li>Drivers of Indian Summer Monsoon during past warm climate</li><li>Controls on trace element&nbsp;(e.g., Mg/Ca, Li/Ca, B/Ca) and stable isotopes (e.g., oxygen and carbon) incorporation during bio-mineralization</li><li>Application of coupled trace the element/Ca ratios and oxygen isotope in foraminifera to reconstruct past changes in sea surface and bottom water temperatures and salinities.</li><li>Study of microfossils species composition and shell parameters (length, size, density and weight) to understand ecology and controls on the calcification process.</li><li>Validation and application of isotopic tracers (e.g., Sr, Nd and Li) in microfossils and sediments to understand changes in continental weathering, ocean circulation, and provenance during the Cenozoic.</li><li>Modern Coral reef habitat and conservation&nbsp;</li><li>Impact of microplastic pollution&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul><h3><u><strong>PhD projects 2021</strong></u></h3><p>(Please contact&nbsp;<a href="mailto:pallavi.anand@open.ac.uk" rel="nofollow">pallavidotanand at opendotacdotuk</a>&nbsp;to develop&nbsp;project ideas on Ocean biogeochemistry, Monsoon climate,&nbsp;and microplastic pollution)</p><p>If you are visiting us on campus then please find this<a href="http://intranet6.open.ac.uk/estates/main/sites/intranet6.open.ac.uk.estates.main/files/files/Intranet/maps/3D-campus-map.pdf">3D OU map</a>!</p><h3><strong>Current projects</strong></h3><p><strong>OU PhD projects</strong></p><ul><li>Integrating technological solutions to modernise the study and assessment of coral reefs (Ms<a href="https://www.opwall.com/team/shannon-cameron/" rel="nofollow">Shannon Cameron</a>, Opwall and OU, Part-time) - 2020 (<em><strong>project info</strong></em>)</li><li>Plio-Pleistocene monsoon-driven&nbsp;coccolithophore productivity and stratification reconstructions (Ms Emmeline Gray, OU/CEREG)&nbsp;&ndash; 2018 (<em><strong>project info)</strong></em></li><li>Onset of the Antarctic circumpolar current and the oceanographic isolation of Antarctica (Ms<a href="http://www.open.ac.uk/people/sma397">Sophie Alexander</a>, OU/CENTA)&nbsp;&ndash; 2018 (<strong><em><a href="https://www.open.edu/openlearn/nature-environment/environmental-studies/when-did-the-largest-ocean-current-on-earth-start?in_menu=742720">project info</a></em></strong>)</li><li>Climate and carbon cycle instability during extreme&lsquo;greenhouse&rsquo; warmth (Mr&nbsp;<strong><a href="http://www.centa.org.uk/about/students/andrewmcintyre/" rel="nofollow">Andrew McIntyre</a></strong>, OU/CENTA)&ndash; 2017<em><strong><a href="http://www.open.edu/openlearn/nature-environment/deep-oceans-can-help-us-better-understand-our-climate?in_menu=742720">(project info)</a></strong></em></li><li>Late Pliocene stratification and productivity reconstructions: linking monsoon evolution and climate (Ms&nbsp;<a href="https://uk.linkedin.com/in/yasminbf" rel="nofollow"><strong>Yasmin B.
