The India Meteorological Department (IMD), established in 1875, is the national agency responsible for weather forecasting, meteorological observations, and seismology in India. Operating under the Ministry of Earth Sciences, IMD provides critical services such as monsoon predictions, cyclone warnings, and climate data to support agriculture, disaster management, and public safety. The department is also engaged in research on climate change and collaborates with international agencies on meteorological advancements.
The Salata Institute
The Salata Institute supports interdisciplinary research that leads to real-world action, including high-risk/high-reward projects by researchers already working in the climate area and new endeavors that make it easier for Harvard scholars, who have not worked on climate problems, to do so. Faculty interested in the Climate Research Clusters program should note an upcoming deadline for concepts on April 1, 2024.
