Publication of a new book by Prof. Anil Kumar Gupta

Prof. Gupta has just published a new book named "Neogene Deep Water Benthic Foraminifera from the Indian Ocean - A Monograph" on Nova Publishers. This is the link of the book- https://novapublishers.com/shop/neogene-deep-water-benthic-foraminifera-from-the-indian-ocean-a-monograph/ Pgupta1997 (talk) 06:26, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This guy doesn’t seem like he needs a wiki page

It’s just his cv in sentence form. A random academic. Seems like it was made by him or his family member Kingsfan200 (talk) 19:04, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Did you mean @Pgupta1997 though? They're the person making the majority of the edits to this page, and seem to share a name with him. RavenIntel (talk) 16:20, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your perception is completely wrong. I am not family member or even related to Anil Kumar Gupta. And Gupta is a very common surname world wide. As I have common surname with the page name it does not mean I am a family member of him. Pgupta1997 (talk) 03:20, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize, sorry for making assumptions. I'm still not entirely sure that this person has enough coverage in sources independent to him to warrant a biography, but if you could provide any, I'd be happy to see them. RavenIntel (talk) 13:34, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The World Academy of Sciences recognized him for paleo monsoon research back in 2010 (https://twas.org/article/twas-announces-2010-prize-winners). From his faculty profile at the Indian Institute of Technology (https://iitkgp.irins.org/profile/1704) he was an author on a 2010 monsoon paper suggests monsoons have been getting stronger since a low point around 1500 years ago based on Globigerina bulloides upwelling records (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jqs.1369).

I agree with @RavenIntel. His research is helpful to understanding Indian Monsoons as a whole. I feel like his strongest contribution was confirming research from other researchers from the same institution regarding the Indian Ocean Dipole. The papers cited in the Wikipedia article itself seem to establish a pattern of him being "the rock guy/the microfossils guy", confirming to other researchers the occurrence of historical monsoons. It's other researchers tying Mr Gupta's research to human history.

I am not a scientist. It's possible that all my reading is a complete misunderstanding of Guptas academic research record. CallMeOlena (talk) 03:42, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
