His research interests include seismic imaging used to study interactions between the cryosphere and lithosphere, and climate change. Dr. Anandakrishnan's research with CReSIS, the Center for the Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets, is trying to better understand and predict the role of polar ice sheets in sea level change, using new technologies and computer models. Dr. Anandakrishnan received his Ph.D. from University of Wisconsin, Madison in 1990.
