About
Dipesh Rupakheti is an environmental scientist whose research focuses on atmospheric aerosols, air quality, and climate dynamics, with a particular emphasis on the Indo-Gangetic Plain, the Himalayan foothills, and Central-West Asia. His major contributions include characterizing absorbing aerosol types—such as black carbon and dust—and tracing their regional transport pathways, notably their influence on the Tibetan Plateau. His most-cited work, "Identification of absorbing aerosol types at a site in the northern edge of Indo-Gangetic Plain and a polluted valley in the foothills of the central Himalayas" (2019, 59 citations), provides critical insights into how local emissions and long-range transport shape aerosol properties in vulnerable mountain environments. Another highly cited study, "Observation of optical properties and sources of aerosols at Buddha’s birthplace, Lumbini, Nepal" (2018, 42 citations), highlights the environmental implications of air pollution at a UNESCO World Heritage site. Rupakheti’s research is instrumental for understanding aerosol-climate interactions and informing policy on transboundary air pollution. His work has been recognized for its relevance to both regional air quality management and global climate modeling, making him a key voice in South Asian atmospheric science.
