About
Dr. Moorthy Nair is an environmental researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of air quality, remote sensing, and agricultural practices, with a particular emphasis on South Asia. His most cited study, "Assessment of contribution of agricultural residue burning on air quality of Delhi using remote sensing and modelling tools" (2020, 58 citations), provides a critical analysis of how post-harvest burning in surrounding states exacerbates Delhi's severe pollution episodes. By integrating satellite data with atmospheric modeling, Nair quantifies the seasonal impact of crop residue fires, offering evidence that has informed policy discussions on stubble management and airshed governance. This work exemplifies his broader contributions to understanding anthropogenic emissions and their transboundary effects. Nair’s research is highly relevant for students and scholars studying environmental health, climate policy, and sustainable agriculture, as it bridges ground-level realities with large-scale monitoring. His findings underscore the urgent need for regionally coordinated interventions, making him a key voice in India’s air quality debate. With a growing citation record, Nair continues to shape how remote sensing tools are applied to pressing environmental challenges.
