Pallavi Goswami

I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the School of Earth Atmosphere and Environment at Monash University, Australia. My research focusses on understanding droughts (meteorological/hydrological/agricultural), their onset timeframes (flash vs slow), processes, characteristics, drivers, and their compounding/cascading with other hazards such as floods (drought-to-flood transitions), etc. My present research is part of the National Environmental Science Program (NESP) Climate Systems Hub, funded by the Australian Government. I did a joint PhD with Monash University (Australia) and IIT Bombay (India) in hydrology and water resources. My doctoral research looked into non-stationarity in hydrological droughts for catchments in southeast Australia, including investigating the links of drought flows with large-scale climate drivers, and the changes in regimes of drought flows. My interests include extreme events, non-stationarity of weather hazards, and hydro-climatic changes & variability. I am also interested in understanding future projections of extreme events, including implications for adaptations.
