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...
IMPACT ARTICLES
Hydrocarbons in India
India’s existing domestic production of about 0.7 million barrels of oil per day (BOPD) is much less than its current consumption of 2.8 million BOPD, creating a wide gap necessitating imports.
North Reef Island, Andaman: A Remote Sensing and GIS approach
Coral reefs, massive limestone structures built up through cementing and depositional processes of calcifying algae, are suffering significant risks leading to their degradation and extinction.
Natural Gas in India
Natural gas is the fastest growing primary energy source amongst fossil fuels and is projected to grow around 3 to 4 times in the next 20 years.
Refineries in India
In the last few years, the Indian refinery sector has witnessed continuous capacity addition. India has a total capacity of about 149 MMTPA at present.
