The IISER-TVM campus at Vithura located in the Western Ghats is an ideal place for field Atmospheric and Climate Science/Geoscience/Environmental Science studies.

Atmospheric Science: The following are the major equipments available in the school for Atmospheric Science Studies:

1. Ceilometer
2. Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer Spectrometer
3. Eddy covariance flux tower
4. Automatic weather stations

Environmental Science: The following are the major equipments available in the school for Atmospheric Science Studies:

1. Stable Isotope Ratio Mass spectrometer (IRMS)
   An IRMS is used for measuring the stable isotopic composition of the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sulphur, and hydrogen in the environmental samples.
2. CHNS Analyser
   CHNS analyser is used for converting organic samples in the gaseous form of N2, CO2, SO2 etc to facilitate the measurement of carbon, nitrogen, and sulphur analysis. CHNS analyser can be used as a standalone device to measure the concentrations of carbon, nitrogen, and sulphur in the organic samples.
3. Fluorescence Microscope

Geosciences

1. LEICA DM 2700 P petrological microscope
2. Retsch RM 200 mortar grinder with agate and tungsten carbide grinding tools
