About Dhananjay Sant

In the tenor of the last 20 years, I could groom my research perspective so as to reach the root of the problem using multidisciplinary perspectives. Collaborative research on different aspects has remained the main feature. Collaboration with the Department of Mathematics, Indian Institute of Science gave a better understanding of time series analysis Climatic series, published in Geophysical Research Letters (1997 and and Chaos, Solitions, and Fractals (2004) respectively. The course of path regarding the onset of climate change from Last Glacial to Holocene across the globe was published in Current Science (2002). Our finding suggests climate change has triggered at Tropical Pacific, which transpired through China (21Ka), Tibet, India, Africa, and finally Greenland (14Ka). It took about 7ka to have complete climate change across the globe. Continuing collaboration with Prof. K. Krishnan, Department of Archaeology and Ancient History, the Maharaja Sayajirao University, has added a new dimension to my integrated studies leading to Geo Archaeology. There have been several opportunities to carry out collaborative work on different aspects and sites across India. K/T boundary site at Anjar and was studied along with PRL (1998 – 2003); Indian Institute of Geomagnetism, Panvel, Mumbai (Ongoing since an archaeological site near Bhavnagar Gujarat, were studied along with Deccan College Pune (2003); Jwalapuram site comprising volcanic ash in context with Paleolithic artifacts in Kurnool basin, Andhra Pradesh, was studied with Dharward University and the University of Cambridge (Ongoing since 2004); the studies on Quaternary sediments in Leh, Ladakh, is carried out under IGCP 500 (Ongoing since 2006); studies on vertebrates and artifacts in context with palaeo surfaces and processes Deccan College Pune (Ongoing since 2008); shallow seismic studies in lower reaches of Narmada with C-MMACS, Bangalore (Ongoing since 2009).
