Jagdish Krishnaswamy is Dean of the School of Environment & Sustainability (SES) and the inaugural holder of the Hemendra Kothari Chair.

Over the last three decades, Jagdish Krishnaswamy’s research and academic work has drawn uniquely upon the earth and ecological sciences applied to diverse ecosystems, from the semi-natural to megacities, across India, Asia, Africa, Central and North America. His work has focused on unravelling complex environmental changes over time and space at multiple scales. His pioneering work in ecohydrology, aquatic ecosystems and landscape ecology has informed conservation planning and policy from regional to national scales. His work in climate science, ecology and biodiversity has contributed to international science and policy via the IPCC and IPBES. His significant contributions to urban ecology inform the design and monitoring of nature-based solutions to urban challenges.

As Dean of SES, Jagdish leads the build-out of the School, providing strategic direction and operational guidance to expand its academic footprint, research activities, network, practice portfolio, and capacity-building initiatives.

Jagdish uses time-series, remotely sensed and geospatial methods and Bayesian statistical models to understand complex environmental changes over space and time. His work led to the nomination of the Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and informed Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) investments in civil society-led pilot projects. His research on ecohydrology, invasive species, and ecological flows has influenced policy and management at the state and Central levels. He was part of the team that released a report on ecological restoration in India and the first-ever mapping of priority sites for biodiversity and ecosystem services, both sponsored by the Government of India’s Mission on Biodiversity and Human Wellbeing.

He was nominated as Coordinating Lead Author for the synthesis chapter of the IPCC Special Report on Land and Climate and contributed to several parts of the report, negotiating its acceptance at the plenary. In 2022, he was part of a team of IPCC authors of the three-volume Summary for Urban Policymakers (SUP), synthesising urban-relevant parts of all IPCC AR6 cycle reports. In 2024, he was nominated as a scoping expert for the IPBES Second Assessment, making him one of the few scientists to be involved with both these global science–policy assessments.

Jagdish is helping develop the IIHS, Kengeri Campus, Bengaluru, and its environs as India’s first Long-Term Urban Ecological Observatory (LTUEO), the first of its kind for a megacity in the Global South. His work on the LTUEO includes research, practice, and training that connects food, water, ecology, and biodiversity in an urbanising context.

Jagdish has supervised four PhD students and co-supervised three others across multiple institutions, as well as 13 master’s students at the National Centre for Biological Sciences-TIFR. He has served on eight PhD committees in India and the USA. He serves on the editorial board of three interdisciplinary journals: Urbanisation; Ecology, Economy and Society; and Water Security, and is on the Board of Trustees of the MS Swaminathan Research Foundation, Chennai.

He holds a BTech in Civil Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, an MS in Statistics and Decision Sciences, and a PhD in Environmental Science with a focus on soils and hydrologic science, both from Duke University, North Carolina, USA. His PhD thesis examined the impact of forest conversion on soil and hydrologic processes in the Terraba Basin of Costa Rica.
