Street-scale heat vulnerability from ECOSTRESS
Where the city holds heat after dark — read from orbit at 70 m, and checked ward by ward against what the model says it should be.

01 About
Between the data and the decision.
Delta Climate Research sits between raw earth-science data and the institutions that must act on it — turning decision-grade measurement into standards-aligned, defensible adaptation strategy.

02 OBOS
Urban heat instrument · Kolkata · live
The city, measured.
What it doesn’t know, it says.
- Measured, not rendered
- 12,767 real buildings across three Kolkata wards, heights from satellite, the heat field validated against 87 ECOSTRESS thermal scenes.
- Says what it doesn’t know
- Every readout carries its band. When the model is outside validation, the screen says so — in the same type, at the same size.
- Built for the Global South
- One radiation station, seven air monitors, fifteen million people. Kolkata first, on purpose. Dubai next, same engine.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
- What does Delta Climate Research do?
- Delta Climate Research is a full-stack, interdisciplinary climate studio, bringing together climate science, technology, policy, and finance. It turns decision-grade, standards-aligned measurement into defensible strategy for institutions, municipalities, and corporates — across work ranging from climate-risk and embodied-carbon analytics to heavy compliance and regulatory engagements.
- Who founded Delta Climate Research?
- Delta was founded in 2026 by Angad Burman (Head of Climate Analytics) and Shirsha Sen (Head of Climate Policy & Regulation), supported by a senior bench across operations, technology innovation, and communications.
- Where is Delta Climate Research based?
- Delta operates from Kolkata, India, and serves clients across India and the United Arab Emirates.
- What does Delta Climate Research specialise in?
- Three practice lines — Climatology, Nature Analytics, and Sectoral Strategy — with deep focus on urban-heat vulnerability (the Heat Vulnerability Index), blue-carbon MRV under Verra VM0033, and embodied-carbon accounting (EPD and CBAM).
- How can I contact Delta Climate Research?
- Email angad@deltaclimate.earth, shirsha@deltaclimate.earth or dhruv@deltaclimate.earth. For technical questions about the platform and the data, email ant@deltaclimate.earth. You can also request access to the data bank from anywhere on the site.
