Heatwaves in India have evolved from seasonal anomalies to one of the country’s most pressing climate emergencies. While the meteorological understanding of heatwaves has advanced significantly, facil...
The oceans, covering over 70 per cent of the Earth’s surface, have long been perceived as infinite reservoirs of resources. However, with the escalation of climate change impacts and pressures from hu...
Heatwaves are no longer episodic extremes but are increasingly becoming a structural feature of India’s climate landscape. Globally, nearly half a million people die each year from heat-related causes...
Studying stalagmites and their deposits can reveal the frequency and magnitude of dry and wet seasons in the past. Such studies can help predict climate uncertainties.
The western Himalayan region experienced an increasing trend of one-day heaviest precipitation, during both winter and monsoon through 1978 to 2007. While one day heaviest precipitation is on the ris...
A coastal zone is one of the most fragile ecosystems on earth. Managing coastal resources sustainably calls for up-to-date knowledge, cutting edge planning and trained human resources. Satellite remot...
A tropical cyclone is an intense low pressure system that is classified on the basis of its wind speed. The phenomena has a definitive structure and a well-defined life cycle.
Studying stalagmites and their deposits can reveal the frequency and magnitude of dry and wet seasons in the past. Such studies can help predict climate uncertainties.
The western Himalayan region experienced an increasing trend of one-day heaviest precipitation, during both winter and monsoon through 1978 to 2007. While one day heaviest precipitation is on the rise in high-altitude stations during winter, the same is observed in low altitude stations during the monsoon.
A coastal zone is one of the most fragile ecosystems on earth. Managing coastal resources sustainably calls for up-to-date knowledge, cutting edge planning and trained human resources. Satellite remote sensing provides synoptic and unbiased content in a multi-temporal domain that can help planners put suitable management policies in place.
