The terrestrial carbon (C) cycle involves fluxes between multiple pools that determine ecosystem functions and regulate global climate. These fluxes and pools are influenced by changes in abiotic (temperature, precipitation ...

Worldwide renewable installations are growing exponentially in the electricity mix. In a renewable-rich electricity grid, the demand, as well as the generation, varies in different time scales. It is highly complicated to ...

The Indian coastline falls within low-elevation coastal zones that are densely populated. Recent observations indicate, with high confidence, that the rate of sea level rise in the In- dian Ocean has been accelerating ...

The Himalayan cryosphere is one of the most climate-sensitive components of the Earth's system, acting as a critical water tower for millions of people across South Asia. Snow and glacier melt from this region contribute ...

Globally, especially across developing regions, cities face a dual challenge: managing faecal sludge (FS) from on-site sanitation systems in a safe and sustainable manner, while simultaneously restoring soils degraded by ...

This thesis focuses on developing optimized self-operating pumps using flows and head of perennial streams or rivers for decentralized irrigation and drinking water supply needs of local communities living by the river ...
