Siddharth Gumber

I am a Senior Member (PDRA) of St Edmund's College, University of Cambridge, and a Mountain Climate Scientist based at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS). My focus is on high-resolution regional climate modelling, with an emphasis on understanding the role and future of mountain glaciers as a water resource, particularly in the Himalayas and Alps.

Before moving to the UK, I earned undergraduate and doctoral degrees in India. My PhD led to a conceptual advance in understanding the transformation of vehicle-mediated particles into cloud droplets over congested Indian cities and how they influence urban environments. This work involved a collaboration with the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune (Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India) under the aegis of the Cloud Aerosol Interaction and Precipitation Enhancement Experiment (CAIPEEX) (URL: https://www.tropmet.res.in/~caipeex/).

Additionally, my work has garnered media attention, including in New Scientist, The Conversation, The Times of India and in other vernacular newspapers across India.
