Heatwaves have become one of the most lethal and least acknowledged consequences of climate change in India. What was once an occasional extreme is now a defining feature of India’s seasonal climate,...
India’s coastal regions, stretching thousands of kilometers, are on the frontlines of a creeping environmental crisis—saltwater intrusion. Unlike cyclones or tsunamis, this is a disaster that doesn’t...
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...
<p>Organic matter in the Himalayas, the Arctic and parts of Southern Hemisphere are thawing and releasing greenhouse gases. While the rate of permafrost thaw is subject to differing opinions, it can s...
With a record heatwave experienced in the Siberian part of the Arctic region, this paper explores the unusual phenomenon and why the Siberian heatwave is an awakening call of distress. The paper also...
<p>Global methane emissions have been markedly increasing in recent years, with a large contributor being emissions from the global oil and gas industry. It is estimated that methane emissions globall...
<p>Definition Albedo is the measure of reflectivity of an object. A scientific definition describes albedo as “the fraction of the total incident solar radiation reflected by a planet back to space th...
<p>Organic matter in the Himalayas, the Arctic and parts of Southern Hemisphere are thawing and releasing greenhouse gases. While the rate of permafrost thaw is subject to differing opinions, it can still beat every step made towards mitigating global meltdown.</p>
With a record heatwave experienced in the Siberian part of the Arctic region, this paper explores the unusual phenomenon and why the Siberian heatwave is an awakening call of distress. The paper also attempts to analyse the various impacts of the prolonged heating in the Arctic region on the world.
<p>Global methane emissions have been markedly increasing in recent years, with a large contributor being emissions from the global oil and gas industry. It is estimated that methane emissions globally have been increasing by a massive 25 teragrams per year since 2007.</p>
