Abstract

The research profile of Latha Radhadevi encompasses environmental monitoring and assessment with particular relevance to air quality, particulate matter, forest-fire effects, and environmental controls on hydrological processes. Recent work includes a 2026 study examining heavy-metal exposure and source profiling through leaf-deposited particulate matter in Pune city [1]. Other documented studies examine evapotranspiration under changing land-use and weather conditions, forest-fire effects on air quality, and observed changes in Delhi air quality [2] [3] [4].

Keywords

Environmental Science; air quality; particulate matter; heavy metals; atmospheric pollution; forest fires; land-use and land-cover change; evapotranspiration; environmental monitoring.

Introduction

Environmental research increasingly integrates atmospheric observations, land-surface information, and indicators of pollution exposure to understand changes across urban and regional environments. Radhadevi’s supplied publication record reflects this interdisciplinary setting. The studies cover both direct environmental measurements and analytical approaches for identifying environmental drivers, including particulate deposition, forest fires, weather parameters, and land-use change.

Research Profile

The profile combines environmental observation with assessment of pollution sources and environmental variability. The 2026 article on leaf-deposited particulate matter considers heavy-metal exposure and source profiling in Pune, while the 2025 work on the Chota Nagpur Plateau examines sustained agriculture indicators and relationships involving land-use and land-cover and weather parameters [1] [2]. These themes place the research within applied environmental monitoring and climate-sensitive environmental assessment.

Research Contributions

  • Assessment of heavy-metal exposure and particulate sources using leaf-deposited material in an urban environment [1].
  • Analysis of land-use, weather parameters, evapotranspiration, and agricultural sustainability indicators [2].
  • Investigation of forest-fire effects on air quality in Northeast India [3].

Publications

Selected recent publications include Heavy metal exposure and source profiling based on leaf-deposited particulate matter in Pune city, published in Environmental Monitoring and Assessment on 16 September 2026 [1]; Indicators of sustained agriculture, impacts of LULC and weather parameters on ET: Case study in Chota Nagpur Plateau, published in Environmental and Sustainability Indicators in September 2025 [2]; and Assessing the impact of forest fires on air quality in Northeast India, published in Environmental Science: Atmospheres in 2025 [3]. A 2024 preprint addressed changes in Delhi air quality during 2011–2021 and the impact of mitigation measures [4].

Research Impact

The supplied Scopus metrics indicate 43 indexed documents, 610 citations, and an h-index of 14. These bibliometric indicators provide a quantitative view of documented scholarly visibility and should be interpreted in relation to publication year, disciplinary citation practices, and database coverage. The recent publications demonstrate continuing engagement with environmental monitoring questions involving air pollution, particulate matter, land-surface processes, and fire-related atmospheric effects.

Award Suitability
