 Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) rising on the horizon, is rapidly reshaping environmental science and sustainability practice by converting increasingly large and heterogeneous environmental datasets into operational knowledge. This paper synthesizes recent bibliometric studies, Earth-observation platform reports, and climate-tech investment analyses from 2019-2024 to (1) characterize current AI applications in remote sensing, biodiversity monitoring, water and waste management, and energy optimization and (2) present a near-term outlook through 2030 based on observed trends. Key findings show accelerating publication and deployment activity in AI-environment research (notable growth since 2019), expanded access to Copernicus/Landsat data and in-cloud compute that lowers barriers for imagery-based AI workflows and a re-shaping of climate-tech funding with a rising share for AI-centered ventures. Representative operational areas now include automated land-cover change detection, camera-trap and acoustic species classification with human-in-the-loop validation and AI-driven demand/supply optimization in energy and water systems. Scenario forecasts (conservative CAGR assumptions) indicate approximately a doubling of AI-applied research outputs and significant growth in AI's share of climate-tech investment by 2030 -- contingent on continued open data access, cloud compute availability and cross-sector governance. The paper mainly highlights three enablers (open EO data and CDSE access, affordable cloud/edge compute and pre-trained model hubs, hybrid human-AI workflows) and three risks (biased ground truth, ecological model mis-specification, governance gaps). Policy and research recommendations include standardized labelled datasets and benchmarks for ecological tasks, investment in interpretability and human-in-the-loop systems and multi-stakeholder governance to secure equitable environmental outcomes.

 Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are driving transformational change across the life sciences, with major applications in drug discovery, precision medicine, diagnostics, and medical imaging. AI-powered algorithms accelerate drug discovery and development by rapidly analyzing complex datasets--reducing timelines from years to months--and supporting the identification of novel molecular compounds and drug repurposing opportunities. In diagnostics, AI systems can integrate genetic, clinical, and lifestyle data to predict disease progression, personalize treatment plans, and enable early interventions. ML facilitates biomarker identification for cancer and other diseases by leveraging large-scale genomic testing to tailor therapies for individual patients. Medical imaging has seen notable advancement, with AI detecting disease risks and abnormalities with improved accuracy, enhancing clinical outcomes. Furthermore, AI streamlines manufacturing, supply chain management, and clinical trial design through data automation and decision support. Despite these advances, challenges persist--such as data fragmentation, privacy issues, opacity in "black box" models, and limited interdisciplinary expertise. Future directions must emphasize explainable AI (XAI), secure and standardized data-sharing mechanisms, and integration with quantum computing, wearable sensing, and education that bridges technology and biology. In summary, AI and ML hold vast promise to reshape life sciences--accelerating innovation, improving patient care, and enabling personalized health solutions--while demanding security, transparency, and equitable access.

 Abstract

Sports and games have a strong bond with human evolution and civilization, since time immemorial. With the passing of time, sports as an entertainment took the stake of a profession. With more and more getting into this so did the unethical activities, creeping in due to the inflow of more money, name and fame, resulted in more disputes. These Sports disputes of any kind come under an amalgam of existing set of laws under various categories. Thus, leading to delay, sometimes false and under mined verdicts. The main cause being the absence of a single or any law related to sports. India the pioneer in social, cultural and sports realm lacks a confirmed Sports Law. Sports is one of the strong pillars of India that is still un finished due to its un organized presentation. Sports in India is still in the hands of autonomous sports bodies, their biased actions have led to unhappy sports personnel, who have nowhere to go, to raise a voice. On the contrary the rise in doping cases, financial frauds, contract breaching many more like this have become un accountable. This paper is trying to evaluate, analyses and embark upon the idea of a stringent legal doctrine for sports - The Sports Law in India. This as an umbrella to bring all sports related issues under itself and to resolve at the earliest under a single roof. The objective of this paper is to generate an awareness on the importance of the sports law in India for better sports, sports persons, with fair, easy and early trials of sports issues. This comparative study is an effort to establish the importance of a specific Sports Law in India.

 Abstract

In order to increase production, sustainability, and efficiency, modern agriculture depends more and more on autonomous systems that combine AI, robotics, IoT, and GPS. With the least amount of human intervention, these systems maximize production while optimizing inputs like labor, fertilizer, and water. Optimizing resources through precision agriculture, to precisely regulate irrigation, fertilizers, and pesticide application while reducing environmental runoff, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are used to analyze hyperspectral imagery, soil data, and weather forecasts. Autonomous tractors such as Kubota Agri Robo and John Deere 8R Use GPS guidance, AI navigation, LIDAR, GNSS, and computer vision to autonomously plough, seed, and harvest. Edge computing lowers latency and bandwidth needs by enabling real-time decision-making in the field. Smart farming equipment is powered by specialized AI chips that process sensor data locally. Precision farming is built on data collecting. Soil data, weather forecasts, crop health, nutritional levels, and stress factors may all be thoroughly analyzed through hyperspectral imaging, which records data over a broad range of the electromagnetic spectrum. This enables targeted responses and reduces resource use by assisting farmers in identifying issues like disease or nutritional deficiencies before they become apparent. Real-time insights into crop health, soil health, and environmental conditions are provided by sophisticated sensors and imaging technologies. Agriculture is undergoing a change thanks to autonomous systems that improve precision, sustainability, and efficiency. Modern farms can function more accurately and waste fewer resources because of the integration of AI, robotics, IoT, and machine learning, ushering in a new era of data-driven, intelligent agriculture.

 Abstract

Traditional biodiversity monitoring methods often struggle to detect elusive, rare, or cryptic species due to their reliance on direct observation and specimen collection. In an era of accelerating habitat loss and climate change, there is an urgent need for rapid, reliable, and non-invasive tools to assess biodiversity across ecosystems.This review aims to synthesize the emerging field of environmental DNA (eDNA) and metabarcoding, focusing on their principles, methodologies, and transformative applications in ecological monitoring, species detection, and conservation management.We summarize global research developments on eDNA collection from environmental matrices such as soil, water, and air, explain the integration of PCR-based metabarcoding with high-throughput sequencing, and analyze bioinformatics pipelines used for taxonomic identification and community composition assessment. Additionally, we highlight advances in combining eDNA with remote sensing, machine learning, and conservation genomics.The synthesis demonstrates that eDNA metabarcoding provides a cost-effective, scalable, and highly sensitive framework for biodiversity assessment, enabling detection of rare, invasive, and cryptic species. Its integration with ecological and bioinformatics tools bridges molecular data with environmental management, offering a transformative frontier for global biodiversity monitoring and conservation planning under changing climatic and anthropogenic pressures.
