Completed Projects
Sparrow population survey in Delhi
June 1, 2007 to
November 30, 2007
To assess the population density of house sparrow in DelhiAddressing vulnerability to climate variability and change through assessment of adaptation issues and options
March 21, 2005 to
November 30, 2007
The overall objective is to identify issues and opportunities that enhance the coping capacities of communities in dealing with the current climatic variability and future climate change. Specific objectives are: (1) Summarize recent and ongoing research on coping strategies, identifying factors responsible for enhancing capacities of communities in coping with and adapting to climate variability and change. (2) Undertake field-based case studies in drought- and flood-prone regions in order to elicit information on the degree of use and effectiveness of defined coping/adaptive strategies.Time series study on air pollution and mortality in Delhi - public health and air pollution in Asian cities
December 20, 2004 to
November 30, 2007
Considering the significance of the problem of particulate emission and lack of scientific evidence on health effects of particulate matter in developing countries, a study to assess the relationship between air pollution and mortality in Delhi was initiated by a multidisciplinary team comprising researchers from TERI, VP Chest Institute, and the All India Institute of Medical Sciences.ORCHID project: DFID-India Climate Risk Screening Process
March 1, 2007 to
October 31, 2007
Climate change is a threat to national and international development investments. Current climate-related hazards such as floods, drought, or cyclones already reduce the impact of poverty reduction interventions in India and elsewhere. Using OECD estimates, as much as 40% of DFID-I expenditure in India is potentially exposed to climate risks. Climate change impacts are likely to exacerbate many existing hazards and bring newer hazards such as temperature rise and sea-level rise to bear.Facilitation - Science and tech park study tour for Ghana and Senegal
October 1, 2007 to
October 31, 2007
The United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, (UNDESA), New York, is supporting a project titled as `Planning for the development of Science and Technology Parks? in Ghana and Senegal, as both the countries are interested in growth of Science and Technology and also in the area of Agro-processing/Food processing research and certification systems. As part of the project, the UNDESA had proposed to expose a small group of 12 Government experts from Senegal and Ghana, for successful India examples of matching innovation with entrepreneurial activity.Renewing India
February 1, 2007 to
October 10, 2007
In a race to be the richest, strongest and most developed... nations surge ahead thoughtlessly. The depletion of resources seems incessant and the quest for energy, endless. A warmer planet has set the alarm bells ringing. As a question mark looms over the future of energy security, the world has started looking for solutions. Renewables are defining the energy future for India. Wind, sun, biomass and water are fuelling this drive. India is moving ahead step by step.Development of MEOR seed culture for Tom O Corner fields
April 1, 2007 to
September 30, 2007
In the formation water samples (Six nos.) of Frio Formation from the Tom O'Connor Field provided by Glori, TERI determined the following:i. Presence of Microbial Flora suitable for Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) application.
ii. Ideal nutrient medium and standardization of growth parameters resulting in optimal conditions for MEOR application.
TERI also developed one seed culture and specific nutrient mixtures for the Tom O'Connor Field Frio Formation.
