  • Radiocarbon based fossil fuel CO 2 observations in megacity Delhi

    Open AccessRajveer Sharma, Ravi Kumar Kunchala et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2026

    This study employs radiocarbon measurements (Δ 14 C) to detect fossil fuel CO 2 (CO 2ff ) in the megacity Delhi from 2018 to 2022, offering unique insights into fossil fuel emissions. Our measurements reveal varying Δ 14 C values ranging from −56.2‰ to 7.5‰ and CO 2ff values ranging from 0.3 ppm to 25.2 ppm. We observed a distinct seasonality in Δ 14 C and CO 2ff , with higher CO 2ff (lower Δ 14 C) values during winter and post-monsoon seasons an…

  • Investigating long term rainfall trends (1901‐2021) and forecast over the mountainous state of India using machine learning approach

    Open AccessPankaj Kumar, Rajesh Sarda et al.ARTICLESingapore Journal of Tropical…2026References: 59

    This paper investigates the rainfall variability and trends (annual and seasonal) over Himachal Pradesh state from 1901 to 2021. The annual rainfall fluctuation ranges from 20 per cent to 36 per cent, indicating that rainfall in the mountainous regions has remained relatively stable over 121 years. While monsoon and annual rainfall exhibit a low degree of rainfall variability, there is greater fluctuation evident during the post‐monsoon (99 per c…

  • Late Holocene geochemical and environmental changes inferred from a multiproxy investigation in sediments from Kondagai Lake Tamil Nadu, India

    Open AccessAnand Rajoriya, Pooja Tiwari et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2026References: 158

    Climatic crises have been increasing rapidly since the late Holocene worldwide. Strategic planning needs multi-proxy records to understand the rate of ecosystem and climatic perturbations for generating mitigation maps. We present multiproxy records with isotopic composition (δ 13 C TOC , δ 15 N Bulk ), total organic carbon (TOC%), total nitrogen (TN%), total organic carbon to total nitrogen (C/N) ratio, palynofacies and grain size analysis of an…

  • Diabetes care in urban India

    Open AccessRamesh Kumar Huda, Jayvardhan Singh et al.ARTICLESocial Sciences & Humanities Open2025

    Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including diabetes, are rising rapidly in India, accounting for 61 % of all deaths. Despite national programs for NCDs, effective diabetes management is hindered due to several factors. However, in India, NCD care has been integrated with primary healthcare. This study aims to explore and understand the experiences of healthcare providers involved in diabetes care delivery at urban PHCs in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. A d…

  • Benchmark

    Open AccessShruti Ashish Lahoti, Manu Thomas et al.ARTICLEUrban Science2025References: 3

    Urban green spaces (UGSs) are vital in enhancing environmental quality, social well-being, and climate resilience, yet their distribution and accessibility remain uneven in many rapidly urbanizing cities. The 3–30–300 rule offers a structured guideline with which to assess urban greenness, emphasizing tree visibility, canopy cover, and green space proximity. However, its applicability in dense and resource-constrained urban environments has not b…

  • Wl-3428-Debating Bureaucratic Apathy

    Supriy Ranjan, Somesh Ranjan et al.ARTICLEEconomic and political…2025

    Recent newspaper articles by prominent former IAS officers titled have tried to bring to our notice the necessity of administrative reforms (Subbarao 2022; Gupta 2022). They argue that the twin factors of political interference and internal incentives are the major reason which has stymied Indian bureaucracy. Though partially valid, this cannot be the sole cause for its structural inefficacy and failure. Instead of reducing the system’s malaise t…
