The Department of Environmental Science and Engineering at SRM University-AP hosted the first session of the Guest Expert Lecture Series 2025 on 24th March 2025. The lecture featured esteemed scholar Prof. Alan Fryar, Professor at the University of Kentucky, USA. His insightful session focused on pressing global issues concerning groundwater flow, contaminant transport, and environmental sustainability. With over 50 attendees, including 13 faculty members, 22 PhD scholars and professionals, and 15 postgraduate students, the event was a resounding success in fostering academic dialogue and global awareness. Prof. Fryar's expertise—bolstered by accolades like the James B. Thompson Distinguished International Lecturer and Fulbright-Kalam Climate Fellowship—offered participants a rich perspective on sustainable water resource management. The lecture not only inspired students and researchers but also sparked potential collaborations and broadened the horizons of environmental research. The event was coordinated by Dr. Saikat Sinha Ray, who ensured smooth execution and meaningful engagement. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Prof. Fryar for his invaluable contribution and look forward to future lectures in this impactful series. #SRMUniversityAP #SRMAP #SRMAmaravati #SRM #SRMUniversity #EnvironmentalScience #ExpertLectureSeries #Sustainability

SRM University-AP proudly celebrates the latest research contribution by Dr. Kousik Das, Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Science and Engineering. His latest study, titled "Groundwater discharge and bank overtopping drive large carbon exports from Indian Sundarban mangroves", has been published in the Q1 journal Science of The Total Environment (Impact Factor: 8.2). The research unveils how groundwater discharge and bank overtopping significantly influence carbon exports from the Sundarbans, one of the world’s largest mangrove ecosystems. This study is crucial in understanding blue carbon dynamics, offering insights into the region’s role in global carbon cycling and climate change mitigation. By shedding light on the intricate interactions between hydrology and carbon fluxes, this research paves the way for more effective coastal conservation and carbon sequestration strategies. 🔗 Read the full paper: DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.176463 #SRMAPResearch #EnvironmentalScience #MangroveConservation #CarbonCycle #Sundarbans #ClimateChange #BlueCarbon #GroundwaterDynamics #SustainableEcosystems #SRMUniversityAP #SRMAP #SRMAmaravati #SRM #SRMUniversity

A New Dawn for Water Sustainability at SRM University-AP! 💧🌍 SRM University-AP successfully hosted the 1st Water Elixir Meet (WE Meet 2025)—a prestigious three-day international conference dedicated to addressing global water sustainability and security. Organised by the Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, the conference was inaugurated by Prof. Rajasekhar Balasubramanian, Provost’s Chair Professor, Group Head (Hydraulics, Hydrology and Climate Resilience), Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, National University of Singapore. With over 150 research abstracts and an esteemed lineup of global experts, the conference featured keynote addresses from Prof. Kwang Ho-Choo (Kyungpook National University, South Korea), Prof. Shiao-Shing Chen (National Taipei University of Technology, Taiwan), and Prof. Fulvia Chiampo (Politecnico di Torino, Italy). Speaking at the event, Prof. Manoj K Arora, Vice Chancellor, emphasised beyond academic and research possibilities, fostering global partnerships, innovative solutions, and cultural exchange. He stated, “WE Meet 2025 is a timely conference organised to address critical issues such as water resource management and water conservation. At SRM University-AP, we have introduced the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research, where researchers work on innovative solutions to urgent issues of water sustainability.” Dr. Rangabhashiyam Selvasembian, Head of the Department, highlighted the importance of collective efforts in ensuring a sustainable future. The event was also graced by Registrar Dr. R Prem Kumar, Dean – School of Engineering and Sciences Prof. C V Tomy, and Dean–Research Prof. Ranjit Thapa. Together, let’s shape a future where water sustainability is a reality! #WEMeet2025 #WaterSustainability #GlobalCollaboration #HydroInnovation #ResearchForImpact #SRMUniversityAP #SRMAP #SRMAmaravati #SRM #SRMUniversity

@HPIndia We have installed a HP colour printer (HP smart tank 660-670 series) on 28th May 2024 from Amazon. So far we have requested so many times for the installation and resolve an issue with the IP address connectivity. The service request number is Case number: 5128833036

Opening for #postdoc in #groundwater, #coastal #hydrogeology, #submarine groundwater discharge and #emerging pollutants in costal environments. Please reach me out at kousik.d@srmap.edu.in

I am looking for a PhD student. If anyone is interested to work on coastal #groundwater pollution and #submarine groundwater discharge please reach me out. #phd #vaccines

@Barefoot_Lab That’s true and unethical. One reviewer asked to cite references those are not even have any connection. Eventually paper got rejected without any explanation.

Dear editors, reviewers Stop pressuring authors to cite your own papers.

@Nscience4ever @DrMarissaKate Same here

@DrMarissaKate I have a few horrific stories to offer but from the postdoc experience.

Some colleagues and I are working on a research project about bad PhD supervision experiences and the stories we have heard so far are truly horrendous. Life (and your time as a PhD student) is too short to endure bad supervision. Please put your well-being first and seek support. If you can, find a different supervisor. You deserve better. ❤️

Water Stress - forget 2050 think 2030 if we don’t act fast. #water

Ok tenure-track moms out there. I learned that only 35% of married moms in the sciences get tenure. I asked the presenter/mentor what can be done to increase these #s. She said stop cleaning toilets (aka hire someone to clean) & and hire someone to cook my meals. @Momademia
