Centre for Climate Change Studies (CCCS)

The Centre for Climate Change Studies (CCCS) was established in the year 2011 at International Research Centre (IRC) with the primary mandate of investigating the impact of predicted climate change on marine organisms associated to various ecosystems like coral reefs, seagrass meadows, seaweeds, intertidal zones and mangrove ecosystems etc.

At present, in the CCCS, the following research activities are going-on: (i) Implications of climate change on natural life history traits of coral reef caridean shrimps; (ii) Response of micro-planktons to elevated temperature and decreased pH using multidisciplinary approach including proteomics, biochemical and physiological assays; (iii) Contribution of seaweeds towards sustainable future by playing a role in climate change mitigation and adaptation; (iv) Diversity and status of coral reef shrimps in Gulf of Mannar Biosphere Reserve, Tamil Nadu and Lakshadweep and (iv) Plant-insect interaction under climate change scenario. Besides, the Centre is also instrumental in spreading awareness about conservation of marine ecosystem to schools and teachers through citizen science program.

Researchers at CCCS have been actively working at Sathyabama Marine Research Station (SMRS), recently established at Rameswaram to encourage research on cutting-edge marine ecology and climate change to sustainably use, manage, and conserve natural ecosystems for the benefit of the coastal communities of Gulf of Mannar and Palk Bay regions.
