We’re proud to celebrate Damini Rana, Faculty Member, UPES Online, on the publication of her research article, “Hydrochemical response of urban Himalayan rivers to land use change and water quality degradation,” in Scientific Reports, a Q1 journal from the Nature Portfolio with an Impact Factor of 4.9.
The research examines the impact of land-use change on the hydrochemistry and water quality of urban Himalayan rivers, contributing valuable insights to the understanding of environmental changes in the region.
Beyond the publication itself, achievements like these reflect our commitment to fostering a culture where teaching, learning and research go hand in hand.
Congratulations, Damini, on this significant academic milestone. We look forward to seeing more of your work and contributions to the research ecosystem. 👏
