This blog emerges from a detailed discussion between Dr Sulagna Chattopadhyay, Editor in Chief, and Dr Srinivas Goli, Associate Professor in Demography at the International Institute for Population Sc...
This blog emerges from a two-part conversation investigating the evolving understanding of sustainability by tracing its roots through geological epochs, civilizational collapses, demographic surges,...
Submarines are among the most secretive and sophisticated military assets in the modern world. Designed for stealth and endurance, they offer nations unmatched control in underwater operations and det...
<p>Corals can survive without the algae for short periods and revert back to original health with the re-entrance of the algae once the sea conditions return to normal, but if the stress factors stay...
The limited opportunities to mine for minerals on land is making the world consider deep seabed mining as an alternative. But this can pose major destruction to marine biodiversity, given our limited...
Comprising plastics and other non-degradable solid waste, marine litter drifts around the global oceans posing a serious threat to marine habitats, as also human health and safety. Since legal mechani...
Everyone is accountable in the climate change discourse. So UN’s divided framework of ‘us’ and ‘them’ blocs will fall short in tackling climate change. The Paris Agreement at COP 21 is currently under...
<p>Corals can survive without the algae for short periods and revert back to original health with the re-entrance of the algae once the sea conditions return to normal, but if the stress factors stay longer, the corals begin to starve and die. The coral reefs, eventually, collapse due to erosion.</p>
The limited opportunities to mine for minerals on land is making the world consider deep seabed mining as an alternative. But this can pose major destruction to marine biodiversity, given our limited knowledge of the effects of disturbing the high seas, especially in oxygen-minimum zones.
Comprising plastics and other non-degradable solid waste, marine litter drifts around the global oceans posing a serious threat to marine habitats, as also human health and safety. Since legal mechanisms are not yet in place, existing mechanisms ought to be used as a framework to build on for protecting the oceanic realm.
