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...

Preserving Perishing Paradises
Antarctic, the cold oceans surrounding it and the greater parts of Arctic are often conceptualised as the 'common heritage of mankind' - most enchanting, picturesque and pristine - sustaining the complex ocean-atmosphere coupled system of our planet and thereby ensuring the sustenance of life itself. While appreciating the need for development, it is argued by environmentalists that the Earth has...
Urban Sustainability in a Changing Climate
Environmental refugees, driven by drought, deforestation, desertification and similar other environmental problems, result in permanent or semi-permanent immigrants to urban centres. With the numbers rising by 150 million in the next four decades urban centres would need an urgent and effective resource distribution mechanism to achieve sustainability.
Predicting Extreme Events
With drastic alterations in climate anomalies, there is a need for adequate mitigation and preparedness computations that can help reduce the impact of environmental disasters. Scientific predictions and planned methodologies can help, although it is yet not possible to completely safeguard against the unpredictable and uncontrollable forces of nature.
