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...
Perspectives on Coastal Research
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...
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...

Tropospheric Ozone and Food Productivity
Ozone is life threatening if found to be increasing near the earth’s surface as it is toxic to life when inhaled. Ozone not only damages airways, but also reduces crop yields as well if it increases b...
Ozone Pollution from Urban Sources: A Case Study
Surface ozone levels spiked during the summer of 2019 in Delhi. As ozone is harmful to crops and human health, this peculiar rise in its levels indicates a need to monitor ambient ozone levels over a...
In Sync with the World: India’s Polar Science Research
India’s visibility in the exploration of polar frontiers has progressed appreciably over time. India is now widely viewed as an emergent power, warranting multi-disciplinary international collaboratio...
Process Studies in the Southern Ocean: An Overview and Future Perspectives
The Southern Ocean plays a major role in the global carbon sequestration and cycling, strongly influencing the global climate pattern. Since 2004, ten successful scientific expeditions to the Indian s...

Tropospheric Ozone and Food Productivity
Ozone is life threatening if found to be increasing near the earth’s surface as it is toxic to life when inhaled. Ozone not only damages airways, but also reduces crop yields as well if it increases beyond the threshold levels. Worries are mounting as India marks a rate of increase of around 1 per cent each year. Anthropogenic sources of emissions are responsible for increase in surface ozone, whi...
Ozone Pollution from Urban Sources: A Case Study
Surface ozone levels spiked during the summer of 2019 in Delhi. As ozone is harmful to crops and human health, this peculiar rise in its levels indicates a need to monitor ambient ozone levels over a longer period so as to put evidence-based control regulations in place.
In Sync with the World: India’s Polar Science Research
India’s visibility in the exploration of polar frontiers has progressed appreciably over time. India is now widely viewed as an emergent power, warranting multi-disciplinary international collaborations. Such interventions will help India establish a niche domain in global scientific affairs.
