Dr. Ambarish Karmalkar is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geosciences at the University of Rhode Island, USA. As a physical climate scientist, his work focuses on understanding regional climate change and its impacts on human and natural systems. His research bridges two key themes: physical science and the translation of climate science into actionable insights.

Dr. Karmalkar utilizes observations and numerical model simulations to explore atmospheric and oceanic processes that shape climate dynamics at local and regional scales. By examining these processes, he seeks to enhance understanding of climate variability and change, particularly how they influence ecosystems, resources, and communities.

In his role as a climate science translator, Dr. Karmalkar collaborates with multidisciplinary teams, including scientists, policymakers, and practitioners, to ensure that climate science is accessible and practical for decision-making. His work empowers stakeholders to address pressing challenges posed by climate change through evidence-based solutions.

Dr. Karmalkar is dedicated to advancing both scientific knowledge and its application, contributing to a deeper understanding of the physical processes driving climate change while fostering effective strategies to mitigate its impacts.
