About
Dr. Lekhendra Tripathee is a leading environmental scientist whose research focuses on aerosol climatology, atmospheric chemistry, and the long-range transport of pollutants in the Himalayan region. His work is pivotal in understanding how local emissions and transboundary pollution impact air quality and climate in South Asia. In a landmark 2018 study at Lumbini, Nepal—the birthplace of Buddha—he characterized aerosol optical properties and sources, revealing critical environmental implications for this culturally significant site (42 citations). His 2020 investigation over Pokhara provided a comprehensive decadal analysis (2010–2018) of aerosol optical depth, single scattering albedo, and absorption using AERONET data, establishing a foundational climatology for the central Himalayas (13 citations). By linking spectral variations to pollution transport pathways, Tripathee has advanced knowledge of how atmospheric aerosols influence regional radiative forcing and visibility. His work is essential for policymakers and researchers addressing air quality challenges in data-sparse, high-altitude environments.
