Environmental Focus on Ecosystems & Mitigation Strategies

Dr. M.P. Jonathan actively conducts research in the field of "Environmental Geochemistry," focusing on metal cycling in water, sediment, and air within continental and coastal environments. His research group has initiated a global program, "Blue Flag Beaches: Vision 2030," which involves generating baseline geochemical data for tourist beaches. This study spans 10 different countries, with a goal of creating baseline data sites for approximately 30 countries by 2030. His group has pioneered research in microplastic studies within coastal environments, particularly examining beaches, coral regions, selected commercial fish species, crocodiles, sea lions, and similar environments.

Dr. Sujitha Suresh Babu completed her M.Sc. (Integrated) in Geosciences at Bharathidasan University in 2011, obtained her Doctorate (Hons.) in 2017, and completed her post-doctoral studies in 2021 at the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN) in Mexico City. Her research focuses on biogeochemical processes involving trace metals in marine and coastal systems, with additional interests in the toxicology of trace metals in biota, including human populations. Dr. Sujitha has published over 40 scientific papers in high-impact journals Dr. Pedro Joaquin Gutiérrez-Yurrita

Dr. Pedro Joaquin Gutiérrez-Yurrita is a full-time professor at the National Polytechnic Institute. Additionally, he served as the General Director of Environmental Auditing at the Federal Attorney General's Office for Environmental Protection for five years till 2024. With a background in Biological Sciences and Law, he conducted research for the past 40 years, combining ecological conservation with socio-legal aspects to achieve my scientific goals. As a governmental authority and as a researcher, the mission was to develop new instruments for environmental self-regulation in Mexico. The research areas include Ecology, Ecophysiology, Environmental Law, and Socioecology.
