This research investigates how coccolithophores—microscopic marine algae that both absorb and release carbon dioxide—have influenced Earth's carbon cycle over the past three million years. Using fossil sediments, geochemistry, and machine learning, it reconstructs past ocean ecosystems to improve predictions of how marine carbon cycling will respond to future climate change.
This research investigates feronia, a plant protein essential for heat adaptation. By studying how feronia regulates auxin signaling and plant growth under temperature stress, the work aims to uncover mechanisms that could support the development of heat-resilient crops, improving agricultural productivity and food security in a warming global climate.
Pakistan is highly vulnerable to climate change due to low forest cover, rising temperatures, glacier melting, floods, droughts, and agricultural decline. With only 4.2 million hectares of forest, impacts are severe. Government initiatives like the 10 Billion Tree Tsunami and mangrove restoration aim to improve resilience and environmental sustainability.
