Sea Level Changes

Organised by: INCOIS /OSI/IGU

Venue: E-Classroom (First Floor), Atal Bhavan (ITCOocean), INCOIS, Hyderabad
Date: 05 November 2025 @ 09:30-17:30hrs (IST)

Coordinators: Prof. Prasad K. Bhaskaran, OSI; Dr. Abhisek Chatterjee, INCOIS;
Co-Coordinators:: Dr. Sunil P. S., IGU; Dr. P. C. Mohanty, INCOIS;

Climate change is here, and it has an irreversible influence on various parameters of the Earth System. Sea Level rise is one of the outcomes of global warming, and as a result, coastal areas are expected to become more vulnerable due to extremes, frequent flooding, and inundation of low-lying areas. This workshop will provide an opportunity to learn ongoing cutting-edge technologies and state-of-the-art scientific techniques that may help improve preparedness to address this problem and to mitigate the risk.
