Place and Date of Birth:  Trivandrum (Kerala), May 21, 1945.

Present Position: Senior Professor,
Physical Research Laboratory,
Ahmedabad 380009.

Research Interest: Study of particle dynamics in oceans, sedimentary processes in coastal and open ocean environments, weathering and mobilization of elements from continents. Most of these programmes rely on the use of environmental radioactive and radiogenic isotopes.
