However, wide networks of canyons, waterways and lakes that have been discovered buried under the ice sheet have captured the interest of people and are now the focus […]

Stratospheric ozone Arctic Ozone Depletion and Impact on Climate Change A study which examined the Arctic ozone depletion at eight stations in the Arctic stipulates that the Arctic stratospheric ozone recovery, predicted for the mid 2030s, might be significantly delayed (Pommereau, 2018). The study observed that the 2015-2016 ozone depletion is the third largest reported […]

The discovery of ozone (O3) in the troposphere was first made in the 1840’s. Consequently, an intensive study about its distribution was made in the latter part of the nineteenth century due to its supposed health-giving properties as a germicide (Schönbein, 1840). The first classical explanation of ozone in the troposphere was that it was […]

Cooling is associated with economic growth, health, wellbeing and productivity of people in hot climates. The growing economy of India is characterised by rising per capita income, rapid urbanisation and increasing heat waves. Yet, the country is marked by low penetration of air-conditioning. Given the situation, addressing the rising cooling requirement is both a challenge […]

I believe a couple of adages hold true here, “A little knowledge is a […]
