There is emerging scientific thinking that trees alone cannot be a silver bullet and that forests are the most effective as a part of a broader portfolio of mitigation measures
El Niño remains the largest climate phenomenon that occurs frequently producing droughts, floods, wildfires, dust and snow storms, fish kill, and even elevated risks of civil conflicts
A new study by Australian and American researchers reported in journal Water Resources Research has confirmed that increased extreme rainfall events do not necessarily lead to increased floods
A report of an Oxford University-led study in journal Nature, as well as a recent report from FAO, have emphasized the need for the global food system to abandon the `business-as-usual’ stance to stay true to the `2oC warming’ goal
A systematic evaluation of the perception of forecast accuracy among engineers and managers who make decisions and uncertainty on dam operations as well as water resources is needed to bridge the gap from forecasts to lifesaving decisions
A new study by epidemiologists from America, published in The Lancet Planetary Health, has reported that PM2.5 also impacts the disease burden of diabetes
A new study has pointed out that increased irrigation efficiency does not translate into more water availability for other uses at the watershed level
The dynamic forecast by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) is now targeting rainfall at the district level but the focus remains largely on the impact of El Niño on all India monsoon rainfall
A recently published study in journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science documents how sea stars resort to rapid genetic selection when subjected to the shock of mortality due to a wasting disease.
As the parched Indian subcontinent eagerly awaits the monsoon, all indications are that it will be a normal monsoon, especially since no El Niño is in the offing for 2018.
In a few weeks from now, a seasonal forecast for the Indian summer monsoon will be announced. Among various parameters that determine the fate of the monsoon is the sea surface temperature, more specifically, the contrast between land and sea temperatures.
