About
Dr. Arnico K. Panday is a leading atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on aerosol climatology, air quality, and the long-range transport of pollutants across the Himalayan region and the Indo-Gangetic Plain. His work is critical for understanding how absorbing aerosols—such as black carbon and dust—impact regional climate, glacier health, and public health in South Asia. Dr. Panday’s most influential study (59 citations) identifies distinct absorbing aerosol types at the northern edge of the Indo-Gangetic Plain and in a polluted Himalayan valley, providing a framework for source attribution. Another highly cited paper (42 citations) characterizes aerosol optical properties at Lumbini, Nepal—the birthplace of Buddha—revealing severe environmental implications from anthropogenic emissions. His 2020 study (13 citations) presents a decade-long AERONET climatology over Pokhara, detailing spectral variations in aerosol optical depth and absorption. Through these contributions, Dr. Panday has illuminated how local emissions and transboundary pollution converge in the fragile Himalayan atmosphere, offering essential data for policymakers and climate modelers.
