Our Research Area

The research areas to start with will be “Underwater Domain Awareness” and “Anthropogenic Noise and Its Impact on the Marine Eco-system.” More areas will be added as the work progresses along with more experts joining. The book by the first MRC fellow and now Director adequately brings out the broader vision of MRC. These areas are new areas globally and potentially can give MRC an opportunity to make a mark.

Publications

All research activities at or supported by MRC will be translated to publication in the appropriate journals, conference proceedings, magazines, etc. These publications will be under the affiliation of MRC. MRC will support Seagull magazine with regular articles and in the future attempt to collaborate with a well-known national and international journal for regular publication of its research efforts.
