Chakraborty is known for his studies in the field of Environmental Chemistry. He made contributions to the field of Environmental Geochemistry which has facilitated our understanding of the metals-natural ligands interactions in natural and marine environments. He is a recipient of the National Geoscience Award-2015 and an elected fellow of the Indian Geophysical Union.The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, the apex agency of the Government of India for scientific research, awarded him the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology, one of the highest Indian science awards, for his contributions to Earth, Atmosphere, Ocean and Planetary Sciences in 2018.[1]{{Refn|group=note|Long link - please select award year to see details}} BiographyParthasarathi Chakraborty, born on 24 October 1976 in Siliguri, West Bengal India, graduated in chemistry with honors from the University of North Bengal in 1998 and continued at the institution to earn a master's degree in inorganic chemistry in 2000.[2] Subsequently, he secured an M-Tech in industrial catalysis from Cochin University of Science and Technology in 2002 and moved to Canada for doctoral studies, earning a PhD in Chemistry (specialisation in analytical environmental chemistry) from Carleton University in 2007. He did his post-doctoral work at the Institute of Physical Chemistry and Colloid Science of Wageningen University for one year. He returned to India in 2008 to join the National Institute of Oceanography.[2] After working in the National Institute of Oceanography for 10 years, Chakraborty moved and started working in Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. Research and contributionsThe major contributions made by Chakraborty in the field of Environmental Geochemistry (particularly in the field of trace and toxic metal speciation in marine systems) are described below: Since the marine systems are dynamic in nature and never at chemical equilibrium, He realized that chemical-equilibrium-based approach to do metal speciation would give wrong estimates of labile metal concentrations (which are widely correlated with ecotoxicity) in marine sediments. He improved kinetics-based approaches to understand metals speciation and their bioavailability in estuarine/coastal and deep sea systems. His research focuses on developing and applying a wide range of kinetic methods for chemical speciation in marine/estuarine sediment systems, each with its own characteristic timescale of measurement. An important achievement of his research is to advance the science of metal speciation by identifying the analytical timescale of measurement as the critical parameter for defining the chemical species in coastal and marine sediment system. The ability of the speciation techniques (multi-method approach) to provide a chemically significant description of the kinetics of metal-natural ligands interaction in sediment suggests that the metal and ligand exchange reactions precede mainly by the disjunctive mechanism (complete dissociation of ML), a fundamental process in coastal marine systems. He showed that kinetics-based approach provides the actual metal speciation instead of the current practice of chemical equilibrium speciation. This kinetic based is expected to promote wider acceptance of the approach by regulatory agencies. He has demonstrated the effects of Ligand Field Stabilization Energy, water exchange rate, Jahn Teller distortion of transition metals on their speciation and bioavailability in estuarine and coastal sediments. This is for the first time that these effects have been described in sediments. This research is directly relevant for researchers in geochemistry as it will help provide a better understanding of metal–natural ligand interactions in marine environments. By realising the global catastrophic risk in near future, many developing countries have already signed the treaty to reduce Hg use and its release to control environmental Hg pollution. However, how to reduce the impact of climate change on Hg pollution is not truly known. Climate change is anticipated to increase Earth's average temperature and influence overall patterns and amounts of precipitation. Climate change has been proclaimed to increase Hg pollution even if anthropogenic Hg emission remains constant. Therefore, increasing anthropogenic Hg release with climate change is expected to intensify the detrimental effects of Hg in the developing countries. He took the challenge to understand Hg-natural ligands interaction with an aim to reduce Hg pollution in marine systems. He showed that sedimentary Hg concentrations around India are low and not alarming. He identified that sedimentary organic matter can be an important factor to control Hg distribution and their bioavailability in coastal marine systems. The outcomes of his research have been enormously contributing to the field of environmental geochemistry and oceanic biogeochemistry. Two of his research articles are the most cited articles in “Marine Chemistry” and “Chemical Geology” journals (the two most respected international journals in Chemical and geological oceanography) since 2012, (extracted from Scopus). Chakraborty has published a number of articles,{{Refn|group=note|Please see Selected bibliography section}} ResearchGate, an online repository of scientific articles has listed 57 of them.[3] He is a former associate member of the Working Group 139 (Organic Ligands – A Key Control on Trace Metal Biogeochemistry in the Ocean) and works as an associate member of SCOR-145 (Chemical Speciation Modelling in Seawater to Meet 21st Century Needs).[4] He is associated with several scientific Societies and is as an associate editor of the Elsevier journal, Marine Pollution Bulletin. Awards and honorsChakraborty was selected for the National Geoscience Award-2013 of the Ministry of Mines in 2015.[5][6] He received the M. S. Krishnan Medal of the Indian Geophysical Union in 2015.[7] Chakraborty was bestowed with the IAGC Kharaka Award (USA) in 2017. He also received ISAG Medal-2017 for his contribution in Environmental Geochemistry. The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research awarded him the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize, one of the highest Indian science awards in 2018.[8][9] Selected bibliography
