Dr. Ghosh was awarded “Young Scientist” in Agricultural Science in 1981 from West Bengal for his outstanding research work against the application of  Insecticide, fungicide and weedicide in Rice & Wheat cultivation in West Bengal, jointly by the Indian Science Congress Association and Department of Science & Technology, Govt. of India.

Devised, constituted and successfully organized ‘Coastal Resource Management’ Post-Graduate Diploma course in 1987-88 [A systematic Education Programme  launched for the first in the World]

Number of Research Publications : 45 (Forty five) on Classical & Applied Research in Environmental,  Social  & Agricultural  Sciences, and also in Public International Law &  Environmental Policy.

Dr. Anupam Ghosh, being the Chief Scientist of the Asian Marine Conservation Association (www.marinecon.org), taught  Environmental Science emphasizing Marine & Coastal Resource Management and Law to the students of M.Sc. and M.Phil. in Environmental Science in the Department of Environmental Science, University of Kalyani, Kalyani,  Nadia–741235, West Bengal, India. He taught  Chemical Oceanography and pollution management to the students of “Coastal Resources Management & Conservation of Renewable Marine Resources, at the Calcutta Institute of Integral Management, Where he coordinated & directed the programme. Having versatile stretches of research interests, he earned two Bachelor Degrees in Biological Sciences (B.Sc.-Bio) and Law (LL.B.), a Master Degree in Agriculture (M. Sc.-Ag), a Doctorate Degree (Ph.D.) in Plant Physiology  related to Agro-Environmental Studies on Pesticides from the University of Calcutta, and also earned three Graduate (Master level) Certificates from Bermuda Biological Station for Research (Lexington Avenue, New York, U.S.A.) in Marine Science & related resource management  that include : (1) Analysis of Marine  Pollution; (2) Oil Spill Contingency Planning ;and (3) Biogeochemical Cycling Processes in Coastal  Carbonate System – all in and with  the North Atlantic Ocean Systems. Dr. Ghosh had proceeded his academic and research  interests in Oceanography primarily under the renowned Scientist and Philosopher , Dr. James Newton Butler, Ex-Gordon McKay Professor of Applied Chemistry, Harvard University, U.S.A.

Many of his international invitations include : (1) Air Pollution Symposia in Oxford University, U.K. in 1982, (2) International Conference on floriculture “Floriad” organized by International Agricultural Centre, Wageningen, Netherlands, in 1982; (3)  ‘Partnership for Change’ conference organized by the British Government, in 1993; (4) IVth International Conference on International Court of Environment Foundation, Venice, Italy, in 1994;  (5) “World Conference on Sustainable Tourism, organized by WTO with Spanish Government, at Lanza rote, Spain in 1995; and (6) Royal Holloway College, University of  London, U.K., in 1997. His recent article, “Conservation of Marine Environment-Only way of sustaining the very existence of human civilization on our planet”, jointly with Shanta Ghosh and Vineeta Ghosh, published in Oceanography and Fisheries Open Access Journal in October 2017, describe the mode of applicability of “Conservation Philosophy” in marine ecosystem, specifically pointing out both the problem and solution. 

Dr. Ghosh’s article, invited by the publishers, entitled, ‘Coastline India’ published as lead article in June 2015 in ONE INDIA ONE PEOPLE  discloses many significant facets of the coastline in sustainability of  public life, and another article “Marine Conservation at Sea” published in ONE INDIA ONE PEOPLE (www.oneindiaonepeople.com), July 2013, Page 13, highlighting the impact of oil spill on marine environment and climate change. Dr. Ghosh has been engaged in the research on oil pollution at sea and ocean acidification in coastal ecosystem research relating to Climate Change for more than 35 years. In his prolong and multi-dimensional initiative, Asian Marine Conservation Association has been granted SPECIAL CONSULTATIVE STATUS by the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (UNECOSOC).

Dr. Ghosh discussed at length and suggested/proposed in writing a regular special training to the Indian Defence People, at Port Blair, Andaman (ANI) to fight oil pollution at sea around India in the year 1989 and requested the then Lt. Governor, Hon’ble Mr. T. S. Oberoi through a project proposal, to provide certain facilities to AMCA to train Coastal Resource Management to unemployed people and get them employed. But the said project proposal was lost from the LG’s office 4 times. During that period (1988-1989) Dr. Ghosh also took the initiative at Andaman (ANI)to incorporate the Oil Spill Contingency Planning technical training and academic course to the Indian Coast Guard. He discussed with the then Chief Commodore, Indian Coast Guard and had subsequently conveyed the Chief Commodore many technical materials for the scientific training of Indian Coast Guard personnel to combat oil spill at sea around India.

Dr. Ghosh, on record, predicted negative impact of climate change and temperature rise of Indian environment and its adverse impacts on agriculture, marine & coastal fisheries due to oil pollution and ocean acidification at the sea around India in 1991 which such prediction was opposed by Sr. Scientists and Minister at Govt. of India.
