Research Intersts: Climate change is spreading like an epidemic and agriculture is most vulnerable to this catastrophe. I am aiming at the risk assessment of climate change impact in Pakistan. My lab is engaged in determining the climate variability with special reference to spatial and temporal variability in crop yields. The other aspect of my research is climate change forecasting by the use of Crop Growth Modeling, to develop the mitigation and adaptation strategies against the climate change and to sustain the agricultural productivity in the era of climate change through crop growth modeling, spectral reflectance indices and remote sensing technology. In future, my lab aims to develop a network of automatic weather stations in the country in different agro-ecological zones, to acquire Met. data, process that data and to translate it into the simple, understandable language for the farmers of Pakistan in particular, and for students, researchers, policy makers and people of Pakistan in general.
