For the past 16 years, Naveen has trekked annually to the Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetlands primarily to observe the curious chinstrap, gentoo, and Ad lie penguins. In relaying the fruits of his study at the Antarctic Site Inventory, he seamlessly blends a natural history of the penguins' blustery and harsh Antarctic home with specifics of their existence.
Penguins are hearty harbingers of global and local environmental change.
Thus, Naveen's work could be critical to understanding the planetary environment.
