Monitoring from space, aerial and in situ platforms in coastal regions will help develop models for interactions between ecological and anthropogenic processes, helping sustainable management of coast...
The Indian coastline sustains unique habitats that are subjected to increasing anthropogenic stressors. The National Centre for Coastal Research (NCCR), engaged in addressing coastal concerns over thr...
The Indian coasts hold diverse geomorphological features—mudflats, rocky shores, cliffs, sandy beaches and deltaic reaches that shelter unique ecosystems. However, significant sections of the coastlin...

<p>Acid mine drainage can occur indefinitely for hundreds of years even after the mining activities have ended and thus affects a large horizon – ecologically and economically. The mines continue to p...
<p>What is plastic waste and why is it bothersome? Plastics are synthetic organic polymers made from petrochemicals with additives such as colorants, stabilisers, fillers etc. Plastic wastes are the d...
<p>On July 31, 2017, satellites noticed a large column of smoke arising out of Greenland’s permafrost areas, which after being imaged by an Operational Land Imager (OLI), gave data that identified the phenomenon as a fire over the course of the week (NASA, 2017).</p>
<p>Although the effects are slow to be realized, with the IPCC predicting the possibility of a rise in global temperatures by 3 degrees Celsius by 2080 (Jones, 2017), the longer term effects with an increasing rate of acceleration in global atmospheric CO2 levels could have devastating effects on the Earth’s climatic patterns.</p>

<p>Acid mine drainage can occur indefinitely for hundreds of years even after the mining activities have ended and thus affects a large horizon – ecologically and economically. The mines continue to produce acidic drainage as long as the rocks are exposed or become devoid of acid producing minerals.</p>
