Deployment of the independent mooring of the Ambient Noise Measurement System in Arctic.
Abstract: Oceans cover about 71 per cent of the earth’s surface, but remain mostly unmapped. Since an efficient way to study oceans is through sound, Earth System Science Organisation-National Institute of Ocean Technology (ESSO-NIOT) has been developing various devices that can help monitor the underwater world.

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...
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...
