Stubble burning in the Trans Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP) significantly contributes to air pollution, posing severe threats to human health and the environment. This study investigates the interactions between stubble burning, vegetation productivity, atmospheric loading, and wind anomalies across the Trans Indo- Gangetic Plain using MODIS burned-area...

Urban heat in rapidly growing megacities is spatially uneven, yet the relative influence of built form, socioeconomic activity and blue-green spatial configuration remains insufficiently resolved in cities of the Global South. This study examines neighbourhood-scale controls on land surface temperature (LST) in Delhi, India, using a single clear...

Flood-dominated floodplains are undergoing rapid land-use and land-cover (LULC) change, with consequences for exposure, ecosystem condition, and local development planning. This study examines historical LULC change, transition intensity, trend-consistent land-use scenarios, and event-based flood exposure in Bongaigaon District, located in the...

Methane is a potent, short-lived climate pollutant responsible for nearly 0.5°C of global temperature rise. Though it remains in the atmosphere for about 12 years, its climate impact is 86 times stronger than carbon dioxide over 20 years, making methane mitigation one of the most effective strategies for tackling climate change. The waste sector...

Agriculture in semi-arid regions is increasingly vulnerable to climate variability and land degradation, threatening rural livelihoods and food security. At the same time, the global transition toward clean energy, particularly solar power, offers synergistic opportunities to mitigate climate change while supporting sustainable rural development...

Mining activities significantly alter environmental conditions by increasing atmospheric aerosol loads and degrading water quality. This study employs Google Earth Engine (GEE) to analyze spatiotemporal anomalies in Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD), PM₂.₅ concentrations, chlorophyll-a levels, and turbidity in Tonk, Rajasthan, between 2016 and 2022. Data...

This research focuses on the global issue of heavy metal (HM) contamination in coastal systems and provides the first baseline investigation of the surface sediments in Tiruchendur Taluk, southern Thoothukudi, while evaluating potential sources and associated ecological risks. A total of 25 sediment samples were analyzed for particle size...

Many parts of India will require data-driven analysis of the climate, air quality, health, and employment co-benefits of key sectoral interventions as they decarbonize. This research offers such an analysis for agrivoltaics—an intervention that co-locates agriculture with solar energy production on the same parcel of land—in India’s Nagpur...

Climate variability poses a serious challenge to the sustainability of fragile mountain ecosystems where local livelihoods are closely dependent on natural resources. However, limited studies have examined long-term trends and local perceptions of climate variability in the north-eastern region of Dimapur district of Nagaland state in India. Thus...

The intensification of agriculture, coupled with unregulated fertilizer application and groundwater overexploitation, has led to widespread nitrate (NO3􀀀 ) contamination in many agrarian regions, including the Malwa region of Punjab, India. This study employs the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) system to simulate the spatio-temporal evolution...
