Deciphering the source contribution and characterization of emerging contaminants (microplastics and nanoplastics) in glaciers and alpine lakes of Kashmir Himalaya

Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are widely recognized in freshwater, marine, and terrestrial ecosystems worldwide. However, their prevalence in the Himalayan region's glaciers and alpine lakes remains unknown. The Himalayan region is alrea

Understanding the Climatic Influence on the Harmful Algal Blooms Along the South West Coast of India-An Ecophysiological Approach

The south west (SW) coast of India, the coastal marine ecosystem occupying the eastern Arabian sea is considered to be one among the productive regime of Indian ocean due to its monsoonal influence and nutrient enrichment from the adjacent estuaries

The Carbon in Earth system, Exploring Interactions of Climate and Energy Through Indian Peatland Ecosystem

Energy security and environmental sustainability are crucial for emerging nations like India, and peatlands play a significant role in energy sources, climatic conditions, and horticulture. Peatlands, formed from partially or completely decomposed or

Anomalous Moisture Transport for Hydrological Extremes in a Changing Climate (AMOTHEC)

India and Iberia have experienced heavy precipitation events (HPEs) in recent years, causing extensive damage to life and property. The Iberian subcontinent has seen an increasing number of HPEs, with studies showing a three-fold rise in high precipi

Integrated Cryospheric Observations and Associated Hazards in Changing Climate, Central Himalaya

The proposal aims to assess glacier dynamics in the Upper Ganga Basin, central Himalaya, Uttarakhand, under changing climate scenarios. It focuses on glacier-related hazards and will use high-resolution satellite data to map and analyze changes in gl

Late Quaternary quantitative climate reconstruction in the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean

The Southern Ocean plays a crucial role in Earth's climatic change during the glacial-interglacial cycles of the Late Quaternary period by exchanging the carbon between the deep sea and the atmosphere. Such exchange of carbon between the deep sea and

Delineation of spices zone beyond boundaries using climate analogue tools in changing climate

Urban micro and meso-scale climate modelling and urban canopy parameters estimation

Urban climate refers to climatic conditions in an urban area that differ from neighbouring rural areas, and are attributable to urban development. Temperatures are higher in cities than the surrounding rural areas— which is popularly manifested as

Tracing the impact of late cenozoic climatic transitions on the erosion rates of Himalaya

The topography of the Earth’s mountain belts reflects a balance between tectonics, climate, and their interaction through erosion. Deciphering the temporal changes in erosion rates is fundamental for our understanding of the geomorphic impacts of c

A FUNCTIONAL GENOMIC APPROACH FOR PALEOCLIMATE RECONSTRUCTION: Understanding the response of Life to Paleoclimate Change

Functional genomics is extremely complex and powerful approach to determine the function of individual genes, pathways, networks and ultimately entire genomes. The application of Functional Genomics for paleoclimate reconstruction is not yet utilized
