Aquatic food systems are essential to global food security and biodiversity but remain underserved by existing sustainability indexes, especially amid rising uncertainties and accelerating climate change. Current frameworks are fragmented, environmentally weighted, and insufficiently inclusive of social, economic, and governance dimensions. As we...
Estimating Sunda Clouded Leopard Lifespans From Minimum Residence Times via Long-Term Photo-Tracking
In Biotropica
Sunda clouded leopard conservation requires understanding key species traits. Using photo-identification, we estimated lifespans from minimum residence times, documenting the oldest wild individual known to date—a 6.51-year-old female. We discuss methodological limitations in female detectability and transient individuals in the population and...

Climate variability poses a serious challenge to the sustainability of fragile mountain ecosystems where local livelihoods are closely dependent on natural resources. However, limited studies have examined long-term trends and local perceptions of climate variability in the north-eastern region of Dimapur district of Nagaland state in India. Thus...
In Groundwater for Sustainable Development
The intensification of agriculture, coupled with unregulated fertilizer application and groundwater overexploitation, has led to widespread nitrate (NO3 ) contamination in many agrarian regions, including the Malwa region of Punjab, India. This study employs the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) system to simulate the spatio-temporal evolution...
In Next Energy
Bangalore, a rapidly urbanizing technological hub, faces escalating energy demands that require sustainable solutions. This study uses Google Earth Engine to assess Bangalore's solar energy potential through geospatial modeling and advanced suitability analysis. Utilizing high-resolution geospatial data, this study analyzed environmental and...

Effective disaster risk reduction in developing countries requires policies that are systematically informed by scientific evidence. This paper investigates how science–policy integration for disaster management and climate adaptation has been institutionalised in three international reference cases (Japan, the United States, and the Netherlands)...
In Theoretical and Applied Climatology
Agricultural smoke from rice residue fires is now regarded as a dominant source of India’s autumn haze. Yet, the degree to which yield-driven intensification amplifies this pollution remains uncertain. To assess this environmental issue, there is an urgent need to analyze long-term datasets and to develop fine-grained fire-severity mapping. This...
