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...

The Carbon Cycle 2008
The carbon cycle is the process by which carbon from the atmosphere, in the form of carbon dioxide gas, is circulated through the ecosystem. Carbon dioxide is an inorganic compound. It is converted to...
Gene Pool-Racial Groups in India
A gene pool is the complete set of unique alleles in a species or a population. A large gene pool indicates extensive genetic diversity, which is associated with robust populations.
Risk Assessment through Children
A culture of disaster safety is yet to be inculcated in our country. Disaster risk reduction however can become a reality if introduced in institutions like schools and colleges.
A Mercurial Dilemma
Without a national programme to make CFL disposal easy for the average consumer, millions of CFLs reaching the end of their life will silently release mercury–a deadly toxin, into India’s waste stream...

The Carbon Cycle 2008
The carbon cycle is the process by which carbon from the atmosphere, in the form of carbon dioxide gas, is circulated through the ecosystem. Carbon dioxide is an inorganic compound. It is converted to organic carbon compound by plants on land and algae in the oceans, which use it to make food, carbohydrates, by photosynthesis.
