Her research involves foregrounding geo-climatic and socio-ecological understandings through innovative and open collaborative thinking, and critically blending them with interdisciplinary methods (both quantitative and qualitative). She has previously worked on a rural development project in Gujarat and a climate-action research project in Northern Karnataka.
