About Pratigya Polissar

Pratigya Polissar, With an exceptional h-index of 36 and a recent h-index of 26 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at University of California, Santa Cruz, specializes in the field of Climate Change, Paleoclimate, Isotope Hydrology, Organic Geochemistry.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Low-frequency orbital variations controlled climatic and environmental cycles, amplitudes, and trends in northeast Africa during the Plio-Pleistocene

Pre-industrial Holocene glacier variability in the tropical Andes as context for anthropogenically driven ice retreat

Estimates of earthquake temperature rise and frictional energy

Oldest evidence of abundant C4 grasses and habitat heterogeneity in eastern Africa

Toward a Cenozoic history of atmospheric CO2

Pleistocene drivers of Northwest African hydroclimate and vegetation

A multi‐proxy approach using zircon (U‐Th)/he thermochronometry and biomarker thermal maturity to robustly capture earthquake temperature rise along the punchbowl fault, California

History of earthquakes along the creeping section of the San Andreas fault, California, USA
