The scientist has published numerous papers in several notable venues, with frequent publications appearing in the SSRN Electronic Journal, Marine Pollution Bulletin, Environmental Pollution, Environmental Research, and The Science of The Total Environment. These venues are aligned with the environmental and ecological focus of their research.

Some recent papers by Krishna Das include:

  • A risk assessment review of mercury exposure in Arctic marine and terrestrial mammals, 2022, The Science of The Total Environment
  • Perfluoroalkylated compounds in the eggs and feathers of resident and migratory seabirds from the Antarctic Peninsula, 2022, Environmental Research
  • First record of plastic debris in the stomach of a hooded seal pup from the Greenland Sea, 2021, Marine Pollution Bulletin
  • Contamination levels and habitat use influence Hg accumulation and stable isotope ratios in the European seabass Dicentrarchus labrax, 2021, Environmental Pollution
  • The Baltic Sea: An ecosystem with multiple stressors, 2020, Environment International

Krishna Das has collaborated frequently with several co-authors, including Gilles Lepoint, Paulo R. Dorneles, Marianna Pinzone, João Paulo Machado Torres, and Janeide Padilha, reflecting an active engagement in multi-author research projects.

The overarching themes in Krishna Das's academic work emphasize mercury exposure and its environmental impacts, toxic organic pollutants, and marine ecology, with a strong emphasis on ecological toxicology and pollutant bioaccumulation. Their research contributes to the understanding of pollutant dynamics in marine and terrestrial ecosystems, with implications for environmental health and conservation.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Environmental science is an interdisciplinary field that connects closely with several other areas of study. Pursuing an online geology degree can provide a strong foundation in earth processes and natural resource management, which are critical for understanding environmental challenges.

Another complementary path is Geographic Information Systems (GIS), which plays a vital role in mapping and analyzing environmental data. The best gis graduate programs offer specialized training for careers in spatial analysis and environmental planning.

For those interested in leadership and policy within environmental sectors, a Master of Public Administration is highly valuable. Accelerated options, such as the 1 year mpa programs, help professionals quickly gain expertise in governance and sustainability management.

Understanding the social dynamics behind environmental issues is equally important. An online degree in sociology builds awareness of human behavior and societal impacts, and programs like the sociology bachelor degree online support this perspective.

Exploring these related online degrees can broaden career opportunities and deepen your understanding of complex environmental systems and policies.
