Participants - All

Environmental researcher with 11+ yrs in restoration; working on ocean health, estuarine sediment dynamics, and mangrove-livelihood restoration in Sundarbans.

Deeply committed to protection of our fragile ecologies, I design and guide projects for coastal & marine ecosystems, the Himalayan region, and the arid zone.

An oceanographer focusing on coastal ecosystem modeling and assessment of ecosystem services.

I lead the UN Ocean Decade Programme for Blue Carbon in the global ocean (GO-BC) and I am interested primarily in blue carbon and coastal ecosystems.

I focus on climate change impacts on coastal vulnerability and risk, extreme wave impact analysis on offshore and coastal infrastructure, Blue Economy.

1. Hydrology & Water Resources 2. Historical climate variability impacts on societies and environments and resulting responses/adaptation

Reader in Marine Engineering at Liverpool John Moores University, specialising in sustainable maritime operations and marine decarbonisation.

My research is focused on reducing coastal hazards by improving early warning systems & propagation models in different phases of coastal management.

Coastal and estuarine numerical modeller to support climate resilience, storm hazard mitigation, and stakeholder decision-making

Ecotoxicology of marine organisms; multiple stressors; estuaries, coastal and deep-sea ecoctox; Biomarker development.

Biological Oceanography Division (BOD) CSIR-National Institute of Oceanography (CSIR-NIO) Goa, India

I am an oceanographer and currently work as a scientist at MoES-INCOIS, Hyderabad, with over a decade of experience in ocean and environmental sciences.

I work with coastal wetlands such as saltmarshes and mangroves. I build predicitive modelling approaches for these habitats using EO & field observational data.

I focus on coastal habitats and the ecosystem services they provide (with an emphasis on carbon). I also actively develop nature financing initiatives.

Marine energy is my domain.
