Quaternary Climate Change over the Indian Subcontinent
暫譯: 印度次大陸的第四紀氣候變遷

第四紀研究提供了評估當前地球氣候變化的基本背景，並澄清我們對危險自然過程的脆弱性。本書涵蓋了第四紀時期過去和現在氣候變化的科學方面，重點關注印度次大陸，通過現代環境條件對氣候指標的反應、古氣候的重建、古季風、冰川地質學、利用樹輪年代學研究氣候變異性、洞穴沉積物，包括第四紀構造和喜馬拉雅地區的氣候變化。它包含來自不同地形（如湖泊、洞穴、河流、沼澤、坑道/溝渠）生成的數據，使用不同的指標。本書旨在為地質學、地理學和環境科學、微古生物學、第四紀氣候變化的研究人員、研究生和專業人士提供資料，研究印度次大陸不同環境中使用各種指標的第四紀氣候，涵蓋相關的歷史和環境檔案，以理解當前的氣候情況，討論氣候變化對生物和非生物組件的影響，包含對古氣候變化研究的全面回顧，並為冰川地質學及所有冰川氣候指標留出重要篇幅。

Dr. Khare, presently Adviser / Scientist G to the Government of India at MoES. has a very distinctive acumen not only of administration but also of quality science and research in his areas of expertise covering large spectrum of geographically distinct locations like Antarctic, Arctic, Southern Ocean, Bay of Bengal, Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean etc. Dr. Khare has almost 30 years of experience in the field of paleoclimate research using paleobiology (Paleontology) / teaching / science management /administration / coordination for scientific programmes (including Indian Polar Programme) etc. Having completed his doctorate (Ph.D) on tropical marine region and Doctor of Science (D.Sc) on Southern High latitude marine regions towards environmental / climatic implications using various proxies including foraminifera (micro-fossil), have made significant contributions in the field of Paleoclimatology of Southern high latitude regions (Antarctic and Southern Ocean) using Micropaleontology as a tool. These studies coupled with his palaeoclimatic reconstructions from tropical regions helped understand causal linkages and tele-connections between the processes taking place in Southern high latitudes with that of climate variability occurring in tropical regions. Dr. Khare has been conferred Honorary Professor and Adjunct Professor by many Indian Universities. He has very impressive list of publications to his credit (121 research articles in National and International Scientific journals; 3 Special Issues of National Scientific Journals as Guest Editor; Edited Special Issue of Polar Science (Elsevier) as its Managing Editor. Authored/ edited many books, 130 Abstracts have been contributed to various seminars; 23 Popular Science Articles; 5 Technical reports). Government of India and many professional bodies have bestowed him with many prestigious Awards for his humble scientific contributions to Past climate changes/ Oceanography / Polar Science and Southern Oceanography The most coveted award is Rajiv Gandhi National Award -2013 conferred by Honourable President of India Other include ISCA YOUNG SCIENTIST AWARD, BOYSCAST FELLOWSHIP, CIES FRENCH FELLOWSHIP, KRISHNAN GOLD MEDAL, BEST SCIENTISTAWARD, EMINENT SCIENTIST AWARD, ISCA Platinum Jubilee Lecture, IGU Fellowship, besides many. Dr. Khare has made tremendous efforts to popularize ocean science and polar science across the country by way of delivering many Invited lectures, radio talks and publishing popular science articles. Dr. Khare has sailed in Arctic Ocean as a part of "Science PUB" in 2008 during the International Polar Year campaign for scientific exploration in Arctic Ocean and became the first Indian to sail in the Arctic Ocean.

卡雷博士目前擔任印度政府氣象部的顧問/科學家G。他在行政管理以及其專業領域的優質科學和研究方面具有非常獨特的洞察力，涵蓋了包括南極、北極、南方海洋、孟加拉灣、阿拉伯海、印度洋等地理上不同的廣泛地區。卡雷博士在古氣候研究領域擁有近30年的經驗，專注於古生物學（古生物學）、教學、科學管理、行政及科學計畫的協調（包括印度極地計畫）等。他的博士學位（Ph.D）研究了熱帶海洋區域，並在南方高緯度海洋區域獲得科學博士學位（D.Sc），研究環境/氣候影響，使用各種代理指標，包括有孔蟲（微化石），在南方高緯度地區（南極和南方海洋）的古氣候學領域做出了重要貢獻，並利用微古生物學作為工具。這些研究與他來自熱帶地區的古氣候重建相結合，有助於理解南方高緯度地區的過程與熱帶地區氣候變異之間的因果關聯和遠程連結。卡雷博士已被多所印度大學授予名譽教授和兼任教授的稱號。他擁有令人印象深刻的出版物清單（在國內外科學期刊上發表121篇研究文章；作為客座編輯編輯3期國家科學期刊的特刊；擔任《極地科學》（Elsevier）的特刊的主編；撰寫/編輯多本書籍，為各種研討會貢獻130篇摘要；23篇科普文章；5篇技術報告）。印度政府和許多專業機構因他對過去氣候變化、海洋學、極地科學和南方海洋學的謙遜科學貢獻，授予他多項榮譽獎項。其中最受推崇的獎項是2013年由印度總統頒發的拉吉夫·甘地國家獎，其他獎項包括ISCA青年科學家獎、BOYSCAST獎學金、CIES法國獎學金、克里希南金獎、最佳科學家獎、傑出科學家獎、ISCA白金禧年講座、IGU獎學金等。卡雷博士為了在全國普及海洋科學和極地科學，進行了大量的努力，包括發表多場邀請講座、廣播講座和出版科普文章。卡雷博士於2008年作為“科學PUB”計畫的一部分，參加了國際極地年活動，在北極海進行科學探索，成為第一位在北極海航行的印度人。
