Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has announced plans to reduce the Kaziranga Eco-Sensitive Zone (ESZ) to one km as opposed to the current 10 km. The state government’s intention has raised con...
Glaw Lake was recently designated as Arunachal Pradesh’s First and India’s 101st Ramsar Site. It is located within the Kamlang Tiger Reserve and Wildlife Sanctuary. It hosts diverse flora and fauna sp...
Ozone is life threatening if found to be increasing near the earth’s surface as it is toxic to life when inhaled. Ozone not only damages airways, but also reduces crop yields as well if it increases b...
Surface ozone levels spiked during the summer of 2019 in Delhi. As ozone is harmful to crops and human health, this peculiar rise in its levels indicates a need to monitor ambient ozone levels over a...
India’s visibility in the exploration of polar frontiers has progressed appreciably over time. India is now widely viewed as an emergent power, warranting multi-disciplinary international collaboratio...
The Southern Ocean plays a major role in the global carbon sequestration and cycling, strongly influencing the global climate pattern. Since 2004, ten successful scientific expeditions to the Indian s...
Ozone is life threatening if found to be increasing near the earth’s surface as it is toxic to life when inhaled. Ozone not only damages airways, but also reduces crop yields as well if it increases beyond the threshold levels. Worries are mounting as India marks a rate of increase of around 1 per cent each year. Anthropogenic sources of emissions are responsible for increase in surface ozone, whi...
Surface ozone levels spiked during the summer of 2019 in Delhi. As ozone is harmful to crops and human health, this peculiar rise in its levels indicates a need to monitor ambient ozone levels over a longer period so as to put evidence-based control regulations in place.
India’s visibility in the exploration of polar frontiers has progressed appreciably over time. India is now widely viewed as an emergent power, warranting multi-disciplinary international collaborations. Such interventions will help India establish a niche domain in global scientific affairs.
