^*Dr. Anjali Trivedi is a palynologist and serving as a senior scientist at the Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeosciences in Lucknow, India. Her recent work focuses on Quaternary palaeovegetation and palaeoclimatic studies in the various parts of Indian subcontinent. These studies are primarily based on pollen analysis and other biological proxies, including phytolith, amoeboid cyst etc. obtained from various ecological settings. Her research in this field contributes to our understanding of long-term environmental changes and helps in predicting future climate trends.
