About

Gaurav’s project will combine high-resolution climate data with georeferenced internal migration patterns to address a key gap in demographic research: tracking migrants across space and time. He aims to understand how climate variability influences migration choices, why individuals make these decisions, and where they lead. This research makes a timely contribution, as climate-induced migration is on the rise, yet the dynamics of this movement are still poorly understood.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions grant agreement 101081455.
