Chandrakant Singh

Chandrakant Singh is a researcher at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden with expertise in vegetation–climate feedbacks, forest resilience, and the deforestation footprint of agriculture and forestry across global supply chains.

His current research focuses on quantifying consumption- and production-linked deforestation (and associated carbon) footprints across a wide range of agricultural commodities by combining state-of-the-art Earth observation/remote sensing data, process-based modelling, and agricultural statistics. During his PhD at the Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm University, he examined how climate and land-use change influence moisture feedbacks in ecological systems, with a particular focus on rainfall–forest feedbacks that shape rainforest resilience and tipping risks.

Singh holds an M.Tech in Environmental Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT-ISM) Dhanbad and a B.Tech in Civil Engineering from Bharati Vidyapeeth University, Pune.
