Roxy Mathew Koll is a climate scientist, who has made significant contributions to the science, monitoring, forecasts and climate change projections for South Asia and the larger Indo-Pacific region.[1]. His research provides insights into the mechanisms and impacts of climate change on monsoon floods, droughts, cyclones, heat waves and the marine ecosystem[1][2]. He was involved in writing the IPCC Assessment Reports and was the former Chair of the Indian Ocean Region Panel. He is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union (AGU), a recognition for his exceptional contributions to Earth science[3][4].

Koll is currently working at the Centre for Climate Change Research in the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), under the Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India[5]. He actively collaborates with citizen science networks, local governments, and media to bring science to society[6][7]

Research and career[edit]

Koll received his M.Sc. in Oceanography at the Cochin University of Science and Technology in 2002[8]. He received the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research Junior Research Fellowship in 2002 and joined the National Institute of Oceanography in Goa with Satish Shetye, researching on the coastal ocean and atmospheric dynamics, during 2003–2004.

Koll did his Ph.D. in Ocean and Atmospheric Dynamics from Hokkaido University, Japan, during 2004–2007, with his advisor Youichi Tanimoto. His Ph.D. research investigated the role of ocean on the Indo-Pacific monsoon dynamics. From 2008 to 2010, he worked as a Research Scientist at the Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change (CMCC) in Bologna, Italy. He then returned to India in 2010 as a climate scientist at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology in Pune, India. During 2018–2019, he worked as a Visiting Scientist at the U.S. National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in Seattle under the NRC Senior Research Fellowship conferred by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. He has been an Adjunct Faculty at the University of Pune and the Meteorological Training Institute of the India Meteorological Department, Pune, India.[citation needed]

Koll played a leading role in the redesign of the Indian Ocean Observation System.[9] and the development of the first climate model from South Asia[10]—contributing to the science, monitoring, forecasts, and climate projections of the Indian Ocean rim countries. He is currently leading research on climate change and its impacts on the monsoon[11][12], cyclones[13], terrestrial and marine heatwaves[14], the marine ecosystem[15], and human health[1]

Awards and honors[edit]

Koll is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) and was awarded the AGU Devendra Lal Medal for outstanding research in Earth and Space Sciences in 2022[4]. The U.S. National Academy of Sciences awarded him the Kavli Fellowship in 2015 and the NRC Senior Research Fellowship in 2018. The Indian Meteorological Society felicitated him with the Young Scientist Award in 2016 for his research on the changes in the monsoon.[citation needed]
