Mumbai's Manisha Ganeshan on a career as a climate researcher at the premiere space institute

Manisha Ganeshan
WITH a team of two women at its core, ISRO launched its lunar mission Chandrayan 2 on July 22, making India stand tall on the global space exploration map. And, it doesn't stop there. Indian women are now out for global domination as well. From Hollywood to NASA, our women are working everywhere and showing the world the best of us. One such woman is Manisha Ganeshan, a research scientist for Universities Space Research Association (USRA) at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
Ganeshan, now 32-years-old, is involved in the study of the atmosphere in polar regions using satellite and field observations. She also works with a global climate model to study methods to improve the prediction of tropical cyclones.
