We do work in related research areas such as hydrology, oceanography, remote sensing, geo-informatics and on the social sciences pertaining to technology and environment. We work substantially in Sri Lanka, Maldives, Comoros and Botswana, with contributions in Southern India and emerging work in Thailand and Seychelles through multi-country or pan-Indian Ocean projects. We have worked in water resources, public health, disaster risk management, agriculture, coastal zone management, and wildlife sectors.
