Microbial indicators of anthropogenic stress in the mangrove ecosystems of Goa
May 28, 2020
| Environment
Studies of microbial community responses to heavy metal pollution and remediation of real-world multi-metal sites has rarely been done. It is important to understand how microorganisms are affected by heavy metal pollution. Microbes control most biogeochemical processes and ecosystem productivity and hence important to study the relationship between the stress due to metals and their diversity.
National assessment on plastic waste management in Indian cities
May 20, 2020
| Waste
The assignment’s objectives are to: i) Conduct a comprehensive, empirical data-based analytical assessment of the mismanaged plastic waste problem, as part of municipal solid waste, in Indian cities; ii) Review of existing national level policies and regulations across the plastics value chain-starting from manufacturing, plastic waste generation, recycling/treatment and quantum of mismanaged plastics that ends up in dumpsites or as part of marine litter, in India; and
Development of technologies for measuring and maintaining ecosystem services from forests
May 8, 2020
| Forest & Biodiversity
The project is aimed at development of technologies for measuring and maintaining ecosystem services from forests. In view of paucity of such studies, economic valuation of forest ecosystem services will be useful. The main objectives of the study are to: (i) estimate the use and non-use values of ecosystem services provided by the wildlife sanctuary; and (ii) identify the measures for maintaining and enhancing the ecosystem services.
