Prema’s Heatwave Adventure

In this book, Prema, a young girl living in Mumbai, learns about heatwaves and their devastating effects when her father falls seriously ill during an intense summer. Through her eyes, readers explore the human impact of rising temperatures and the urgent need for climate awareness.Authors:…

Navigating India’s Climate Future

Climate projections for India (2021 – 2040)*

Automatic Weather Station (AWS)

An Automatic Weather Station (AWS) has been installed on campus for in-situ measurements of various meteorological parameters. The AWS is equipped with sensors to measure key meteorological parameters, including air temperature, humidity, rainfall, atmospheric pressure, solar radiation, and wind parameters (direction and speed).

PhenoCam

The university also has a PhenoCam, a digital camera that captures time-lapse images of foliage, enabling the generation of quantitative measures of plant phenology. Over time, these images create a near-continuous visual record of canopy changes and environmental conditions.

Here is the list of scientific and academic publications:
