Prof. Tarun Gupta, Civil Engineering Department, IIT Kanpur, along with his former PhD student Dr. Pradhi Rajeev, has authored an invited article in the 2025 Air Quality and Climate Bulletin published by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

Titled “Persistence of Winter Fog in the Indo-Gangetic Plain: A Consequence of Enhanced Anthropogenic Activity and Population Growth,” the article examines how increasing human activity, urbanization, and emissions contribute to persistent fog events across the Indo-Gangetic Plains — home to over 900 million people.

This contribution is a step towards popularizing advanced science to the common public worldwide.
