Abstract: India has undergone a drastic growth in the telecom sector over the past few years. This sector is a major driving force for the overall economic development of the nation. The Indian Telecommunication sector ranks second in the world market for its subscriptions, just next to China. Mobile phones once considered a 'luxury' device, is now regarded as a 'basic necessity'. Besides the connectivity, it is a complete entertainment package for music games, and social networking. Mobiles today also ensure safety of citizens 9women safety applications, M-indicator, global positioning system), mobile banking, online share trending, and business.

Abstract: About four years ago, the Karnataka Government was accused of diverting 10, 000 acres of land for various defence, scientific, and developmental projects. The merits or demerits of the land-grab allegations aside, there was a rather interesting and disconcerting element that kept cropping up-that the state government thought there was no issue of note with the land concerned, for it was perceived to be a virtual wasteland-a swathe of unusable land that was now being put to good use.

Abstract: In India, the planners have never considered waste management in general-and municipal solid waste (MSW) management in particular-to be a part of development and urbanization. Since it has never been the focus of development process of the nation, we have landed in the present crisis of MSW management, which needs immediate attention of the top policymakers to come out with the explicit policy-based programme backed by sound policy regime and political will.

Abstract: With more than 50 per cent of the world population residing in urban areas, urbanization is one of the most pertinent developmental challenges today. With the unprecedented rate of urbanization, cities are also constantly combatting emerging impacts of climate change, such as rise in temperature, changes in precipitation patterns, and climate-induced extreme events.

Abstract: The sun beating down on our homes causes indoor temperatures to rise to uncomfortable levels. Air conditioning provides some relief, but initial costs of installing an air conditioner and the electricity costs to run it is very high. In addition, conventional air conditioners use refrigerants made of chlorine compounds, suspected contributors to the depletion of the ozone layer and global warming.

Abstract: Covering an immense area of 130 km, the Wular Lak is the largest freshwater lake in India. In 1911, the Lake was 213 km and over the decades, has shrunk to almost half of its original size, like most lakes across the sub-continent. This shrinkage has been attributed to drying out of the wetlands around and increasing areas under cultivation and plantation of willows since 1912 that were meant to support the fuel needs of the local people.

Abstract: Megha Aggarwal-You have called yourself a 'nature junkie' alluding to the rich environmental roots of your family. How important is the role of the family in inspiring a 'green' bent of mind in children?
Zai Whittaker-Like all other values, this is very important. Unless the home reinforces and supports the basic human values, no amount of outside initiatives are going to work. There are exceptions-I can think of many-but this would be the general trend. Unfortunately, parents today focus more on 'values'; such as leadership, success, and prosperity, rather than the true-blue values, such as respect for one another and the environment.

Abstract: Chances are that you have never heard of the Samsings. They are a quiet folk, living on a tiny island in the middle of nowhere. They used to be famous in Europe for their potatoes, which would fetch high prices and were considered quite the delicacy. Restaurateurs who would land the first few batches of the new harvest would boast to their occasional tourists that their life is incomplete if they had not tasted a samso potato.

Abstract: During the last Ice Age, Australia, Tasmania, and New Guinea formed a single landmass, called Sahul. It was a strange and often hostile place populated by a bizarre cast of giant animals. There were 500-pound kangaroos, marsupial tapirs the size of horses, and wombat-like creatures the size of hippos. There were flightless birds that weighed twice as much as modern emu,33-foot snakes,20-foot crocodiles,8-foot turtles with horned heads and spiked tils, and giant monitor lizards that measured greater than 6 ft from tip to tail and were likely venomous.

Keywords: Encountering Aquatic Hypoxia,Responses, Adaptability and mitigation measures
Abstract: Hypoxia is one of the potential stressors associated with global warming and climate change in aquatic systems, which refers to a dissolved oxygen level less than 2.8mg 0/2L 9equivalent to 2mL 02/L or 91.4 mM). More precisely, hypoxia occurs when oxygen level in water is less than 25 percent of the saturation at a particular temperature. Hypoxia in aquaculture systems usually occurs due to pollution, crowding, or high stocking densities. It is a condition at which most organisms become unable to maintain physiological homeostasis or fail to survive.

Abstract: In the unending series of discussions and negotiations on climate change, it might be too premature to uphold that glacier in the Himalayan region are receding at an alarming pace due to global warming. However, the inference that biophysical environment, socio-economic conditions, and the livelihood of the people, inhabiting the Himalayan regions and the adjacent areas, have been in a state of transition for quite some time due to the global warming and its fallouts-is hardly debatable.

Abstract: Environmental conservation through has recently gained an overdue attention, one needs to also realize that the same has been into the root of Indian practices since time immemorial.Be in habitats, traditions, or cultural representations,fundamentaly these activities directly or indirectly revolved around environment and surroundings promoting conservation and respect. What is popularly known as an 'environmental friendly' home today, has been into existence in Indian villages for years together. With and with nature, traditional habitats are seen respecting the immediate surroundings and resources even today. Similarly, some regions in India stand to be the best epitomes of green architecture equally climates (high temperatures, cold climates, heavy rainfall, and so on) the architecture, explicitly dislpays the adaptations.
