Towards Earthquake Predictability: A Seismo-Ionospheric Approach Using TEC Anomalies and ARIMA Forecasting

Research Paper

| October 31, 2025

Earthquakes have always been a permanent threat to humanity. Monitoring the earthquake precursors using space-based methods can be a new introduction to earthquake studies. The promising analysis of the earthquake precursors such as Ionospheric Perturbations is based on the detection of Ionospheric electron content. Within approximately 3 weeks before an event, negative TEC anomalies have been witnessed.

Spatiotemporal variations of atmospheric black carbon concentrations in Kolkata and Howrah Municipal corporation areas

Policy brief

| October 6, 2025

He West Bengal Pollution Control Board (WBPCB) invited The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), New Delhi, to submit a proposal to analyze the spatiotemporal variations in atmospheric BC in Kolkata and Howrah cities. Accordingly, TERI submitted a technical and financial proposalto WBPCB to prepare an annual spatiotemporal variation of atmospheric BC concentration over Kolkata and Howrah in March 2023. Following the review of the proposal by experts, WBPCB awarded the project to TERI on 10th May 2023 (Memo No. 1139/1K-1/2021).
