Prajjwal Panday

Associate Professor of Environmental Science

Dr. Panday is a broadly trained geographer with expertise in environmental modeling, hydro-climatology, remote sensing, and geospatial technologies. His research and intellectual聽interests focuses on using a systems approach to determine linkages between climate variability, anthropogenic changes, and land-water interactions. His research also utilizes聽field-based observations, satellite remote sensing, geospatial data, and process-based modeling to understand terrestrial and hydrological processes across various spatial聽and temporal scales. Much of his work thus far has focused on the monitoring and modeling of various components of the hydrological cycle in some of the fastest changing聽regions of the world such as the Himalayas as well as the Amazon. Dr. Panday is also currently working with local watershed organizations in the cities of Worcester and Webster to facilitate water quality monitoring activities.
