Myriad Challenges of the Coasts of India
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...
Our Fragile Coasts: Scientific Approaches and Solutions
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...

Desert Landforms
Deserts are diverse in nature and found on almost all latitudes. Landforms in desert have evolved through long periods of time and have been created by erosional and depositional processes of the pres...
Coastal Geomorphology
Coastal landforms constitute erosional or depositional features. Sea cliff, sea caves, sea arches etc., are erosional landforms whereas landforms such as beach, bar, barrier are depositional in nature...
Ice as an Agent of Sculpting Land
The glaciers have sculpted various landforms transforming the geomorphology of earth. These landforms are the result of processes of weathering, erosion and deposition under harsh climatic regimes.
The Atolls of Lakshadweep
With 36 low lying coralline islands, the Lakshadweep presents a unique landform that barely rises 2 m above the sea level.
