Heatwaves cause human mortality around the world and are projected to rise in the future. Despite the influence of urban heat island (UHI) on heatwaves, the role of UHI on heatwave intensification in urban areas in India ...
Nature mediated processes like seawater intrusion (SWI) and its complementary processes like submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) often cause severe water stress on the coastal water resources worldwide. The present work ...
High nutrient loading discharge into the oceans is an evolving threat to the marine biota at large, including the Bay of Bengal (BoB) which receives one of the highest inflows of nutrient fluxes from rivers like the Ganga ...
Uncertainty quantification and characterization in changing climate scenarios have a direct impact on the efforts toward mitigation and adaptation. The chaotic and nonlinear nature of atmospheric processes results in high ...
This book provides detailed analysis methods and design guidelines for fire resistance, a vital consideration for offshore processing and production platforms. Recent advancements in the selection of various geometric ...

The basic principle of conventional earthquake-resistant design that has been applied for the last 75 years is intended to ensure an acceptable safety level while avoiding catastrophic failures and loss of life.Over the ...
We convened a workshop to enable scientists who study water systems from both social science and physical science perspectives to develop a shared language. This shared language is necessary to bridge a divide between these ...
Persistent and wide spread drought hampers water resources management and crop production. India has been facing droughts frequently since the last few decades. Despite detrimental impacts of droughts in India, a real-time ...
