Resumé
Manmohan Sarin, Professor and INSA-Senior Scientist, is associated with Geosciences Division at Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad, India. His early research work had focused on chemical weathering processes in Indian river basins and associated element fluxes to the ocean; Application of Uranium-Thorium decay series nuclides to study particle-dynamics and carbon export in upper ocean. In recent years, his research is centred on characteristics of carbonaceous aerosols from biomass burning emissions in northern India; Atmospheric mineral dust, Chemistry and long-range transport; Air-sea deposition of nutrients and anthropogenic trace metals to the Indian Ocean. He is a Fellow of all three National Academies of Sciences in India. He is a recipient of J C Bose Fellowship from the Department of Science & Technology (India) and Mary Sears Award from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (USA). He has been a Member of American Geophysical Union, European Geophysical Union, American Chemical Society and European Association of Geochemistry. He has served as Programme Director for ISRO-Geosphere Biosphere Project on Atmospheric Dust; Principal Investigator of JGOFS and LOCIZ (India) Programmes. He also served as Member of International Commission on Atmospheric Chemistry and Global Pollution (CACGP); Adjunct Faculty at Center of Earth, Ocean and Environment, University of Delaware (USA); Visiting Professor at Ocean Research Institute, Tokyo University (Japan) and SCOR Working Group 116 on “Sediment trap and Th-234 methods for carbon export flux determination”. Currently, he is Vice-Chairman of GESAMP and Member of Working Group 38 on “Atmospheric input of chemicals to the ocean”.
