Multi-season mobile monitoring campaign of on-road air pollution in Bengaluru, India
Mobile monitoring can supplement regulatory measurements, particularly in low-income countries where stationary monitoring is sparse. Here, we report results from a ~ year-long mobile monitoring campaign of on-road concentrations of black carbon (BC), ultrafine particles (UFP), and carbon dioxide (CO2) in Bengaluru, India. The study route included 150 unique kms (average: ~22 repeat measurements per monitored road segment).
Analyst
The Analyst would be involved in conducting in-depth research and help in executing work on sustainability (including rural economy). A proven background in developmental economics is desired. The role requires a firm understanding of sustainability and data collection on rural and agrarian markets. The incumbent should be creative and must be willing to ideate new projects on sustainability.
Responsibilities
Senior Analyst or Consultant (Contractual)
The Senior Analyst or Consultant should be able to conduct in-depth quantitative and qualitative research in rural economics/agriculture markets. The role requires a good knowledge of the rural and agrarian markets. The incumbent should be willing to work under guidance and deliver within a reasonable time.
Responsibilities
Urban air-quality estimation using visual cues and a deep convolutional neural network in Bengaluru (Bangalore), India
Mobile monitoring provides robust measurements of air pollution. However, resource constraints often limit the number of measurements so that assessments cannot be obtained in all locations of interest. In response, surrogate measurement methodologies, such as videos and images, have been suggested. Previous studies of air pollution and images have used static images (e.g., satellite images or Google Street View images).
Was the COP28 climate summit a milestone or a mirage?
The 28th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP) – an annual convening of countries signatory to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) – happened in Dubai this year, with high expectations that countries would take concrete steps to address the climate crisis.
The negotiations encompassed mitigation efforts, adaptation strategies, financing mechanisms, and the role of developed versus developing nations in climate action. The summit ended with progress on certain fronts but lingering challenges on others.
