Kolkata: In 2015, Indian taxonomists discovered 262 species of animals that are new to science and were not known to exist.

Zoological Survey of India has started five long-term monitoring plots in the Himalayas to document the impact of climate change on animal world.

Glaciologists are studying Himalayan glaciers to understand the impacts of climate change in the polar climate and its connection to the Indian monsoon.

The Gorkha earthquake that hit Nepal in April 2015 devastated the country.

Geologically, the earthquake may have unlocked fault lines in the region, changing its seismicity. Rebecca Bendick has studied the Arpil 2015 quake as well as previous earthquakes in the area to find what the area’s seismic future looks like.

DEHRADUN : State Action Plan of Climate Change(SAPCC) which has been approved by the Government of India was formally launched in Uttarakhand on Monday with a workshop held among the stakeholders.

The Himalyan countries, including India, are likely to face an unprecedented food crisis unless they strengthen regional collaboration for the development of inclusive climate resilience in the reg

Due to the lack of post-earthquake movement, leading to build-up strain in the faults, the Himalayan region may experience an earthquake far more destructive than the 2015 7.8 Nepal quake that kill

Himalayan wild animals are being compelled to leave their natural habitats due to encroachment by people in the higher meadows to pick wonder drug yarsa gumba.

We present the measurements of cloud-base height variations over ARIES, Nainital (79.45°E, 29.37°N, 1958 m amsl) obtained from Vaisala Ceilometer, during the nearly year-long Ganges Valley Aerosol Experiment (GVAX).

In order to understand the regional climate implications of aerosols over Indo Gangetic Plains (IGP), a major Indo-US field experiment, Ganges Valley Aerosol Experiment (GVAX) was conducted during 2011– 12. Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) mobile facility (AMF) was deployed at the northern Indo-Gangetic Plain over the high-altitude site, Manora Peak, Nainital (29°21′33.84″N, 79°27′29.27″E, 1980 m amsl) in Central Himalayas, for an year-round measurement of aerosols, clouds and other climate-relevant atmospheric parameters.
