Research experience " Dhiman Roy is an assistant professor in the Department of Geology and Mining. His research interests are focused on understanding changes in the mineralogical and geochemical composition of the sediments under different environment and climate states using data from sediment archives. Dr. Dhiman is currently working on the petrological and geochemical composition of ancient and modern sediments in the Bengal basin, to elucidate the role of influencing factors that control the composition of sediments in relation to source rock compositions, weathering, climate, environment of deposition, tectonic, and sediment routing systems from source to sink. Post-depositional effects such as diagenesis are also evaluated. " Research focuses on inorganic geochemical composition of sediments to infer past climatic and environmental changes in relation to global cooling and global warming, and synthesize key information to understand the impact of Icehouse to Greenhouse transition on the exosphere. He has developed an innovative element-element ratio proxy to characterize the transition of Icehouse to Greenhouse state (large scale climate change). In addition, I seek to document the role of Himalayan uplift, erosion and depositional processes, evolution of the Asian monsoon, basin wide correlation using sedimentary petrology and inorganic geochemical composition. " Recently, he is also working on the disaster and water related issue in the coastal region of Bangladesh to alleviate the society from disaster and contaminated water for safe drinking water option.
