Ancient Indians (Harappan settlement) were aware of tsunami/storm protection measures: A new interpretation of thick walls at Dholavira, Gujarat, India
(Current Science Association, 2016)Dholavira, an archaeological site of Harappan times in Gujarat, had ‘city fortification’ as a unique aspect of its town planning. The thickness of the main city wall is alarming3, 9, 10. The probable cause of such massive ... -
Contrasting Chl-a responses to the tropical cyclones Thane and Phailin in the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2017)Satellite-derived ocean colour data was used to identify the phytoplankton bloom associated with tropical cyclones Thane and Phailin in the Bay of Bengal (BoB). Cyclone Thane was category 2 cyclone (25-31 December 2011), ... -
Discriminating the biophysical impacts of coastal upwelling and mud banks along the southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2017)Coastal upwelling and mud banks are two oceanographic processes concurrently operating along certain stretches of the southwest (Kerala) coast of India during the Southwest Monsoon period (June-September), facilitating ... -
Effect of submarine canyons on tsunami heights, currents and run-up off the southeast coast of India
(Current Science Association, 2016)Tsunami numerical model studies are mostly focused on inundation and run-up onto the coast. Fewer studies have been aimed at investigating role of submarine canyons on the tsunami heights, currents and run-up. The influence ... -
Geospatial approach towards enumerative analysis of suspended sediment concentration for Ganges-Brahmaputra Bay
(Elsevier, 2016)This study presents an easy, modular, user-friendly, and flexible software package for processing of Landsat 7 ETM and Landsat 8 OLI-TIRS data for estimating suspended particulate matter concentrations in the coastal waters. ... -
Is sea-level rising?
(Ocean Society of India, 2016)There has been considerable research on sea-level-rise caused by global warming. The various reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) made assessments of observed sea level rise and future projections. ... -
Pseudofaults and associated seamounts in the conjugate Arabian and Eastern Somali basins, NW Indian Ocean- New constraints from high-resolution satellite-derived gravity data
(Elsevier, 2016)Marine gravity data derived from satellite altimeters are effective tools in mapping fine-scale tectonic features of the ocean basins such as pseudofaults, fracture zones and seamounts, particularly when the ocean basins ... -
Role of teak and other hardwoods in shipbuilding as evidenced from literature and shipwrecks
(Current Science Association, 2016)One of the greatest achievements of man is the invention of watercraft which has been used from the prehistoric period onwards. Over the centuries, varieties of watercraft were designed and developed. Timber was the main ... -
Seabed resident event driven profiling system (SREP). Concept, design and tests
(IEEE, 2016)The seabed resident event driven profiling system (SREP) described here offers a novel, optimized approach to profiling in coastal waters from seabed to sea surface during the rough seas encountered in the southwest monsoon ...
