Sunset in the dunes near Bhuwana in the western Thar, Rajasthan.
In September 2023 I took my first trip to the Thar desert, with Shashank Nitundil (now PhD student in the Geography department here in Manchester) who headed here during his MSc in Environmental Monitoring, Modelling and Reconstruction to undertaken his dissertation research. See Nitundil et al. (2023) for an excellent paper that has set up the use of the portable-luminescence reader in this region, based on the training set calibration approach I developed in southern Africa.
