    • Beach changes at Visakhapatnam due to the cyclone of May 1979 

      Chandramohan, P.; Rao, B.P. (Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1982)
      The impact of the May, 1979 cyclonic storm on Visakhapatnam beach, India and the observations made on beach profiles, waves and littoral currents prior to and during the storm are discussed. In general, at Visakhapatnam ...
    • Beach Morphological Variations over Micro-Time Scales 

      Murty, C.S.; Veerayya, M.; Sastry, J.S.; Varadachari, V.V.R. (CSIR-NISCAIR, 1980)
      Nature and magnitude of beach changes over short periods have been studied at Calangute and Miramar in relation to tide, ground water level and relevant oceanographic and meteorological factors. Alternating zones of accretion ...
    • Climate induced changes in beach morphology and sediment dynamics, Machilipatnam 

      Chauhan, O.S. (Cent. for Earth Sci. Stud., Cochin (India), 1997)
      The wave climate, littoral current patterns, monthly and seasonal longshore drift rates, beach profile changes, and sediment budget of the beach sediments were determined along Machilipatnam, Andhra Pradesh (India) for the ...
    • Fine particle deposition at Vainguinim tourist beach, Goa, India 

      Chandramohan, P.; Jayakumar, S.; SanilKumar, V.; Ilangovan, D. (Coastal Research Foundation, 1998)
      Vainguinim Beach is a small and narrow pocket beach located on the rocky coast of Dona Paula Bay, at the estuarine front of the Zuari River in Goa, India. The beach has been widely used for recreation and swimming by a ...
    • Landform changes from remote sensing data 

      Sathe, P.V.; Sawkar, K. (Tata Energy Research Institute, India, 2003)
      Coastal tourism is typically accompanied by developments along the coast - on sand dunes, cliffs, promontories, and sandy beaches - with possible implications for coastal processes and, eventually, for human activity located ...
    • Morphological Changes of the Beaches of Goa 

      Murty, C.S.; Veerayya, M.; Varadachari, V.V.R. (CSIR-NISCAIR, 1982)
      Morphological variations of 2 of the major beaches of Goa have been found to be cyclic over a period of approximately 1 yr. These beaches attain their maximum sediment storage around April/May. They are then subjected to ...
    • Seasonal changes of the sediment size distribution and stability along the beaches of Kerala, south west coast of India 

      Sajeev, R.; Sankaranarayanan, V.N.; Chandramohan, P.; Nampoodiripad, K.S.N. (NISCAIR, CSIR, 1996)
      Mean grain size distribution under different environmental conditions along the coast of Kerala showed considerable spatial variation (0.14-0.96 mm). Standard deviation values indicated a very well sorted class along all ...
    • Sediment transport near the Peninsular tip of India 

      Jena, B.K.; Chandramohan, P. (Cent. for Earth Sci. Stud., Cochin (India), 1997)
      Studies were undertaken at Kolachel on the western side of the Peninsular tip from April 1995 to April 1996, for a period of one year. Monthly measurements were made on littoral environment observations (LEO) and beach ...
    • Spatial and temporal variations of carbonate content in the beach and nearshore environments off Goa, west coast of India 

      Veerayya, M. (NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)
      Sediment samples collected from dunes, beaches (Calangute, Baina and Colva) and nearshore environments along the coast of Goa, have been analysed for their carbonate content. The results show the presence of very high ...
    • Stability and safety of Anjuna Beach, Goa 

      Swamy, G.N.; Varadachari, V.V.R. (Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1981)
      Studies on the Anjuna Beach, Goa, India, from March to December, 1975, show that it is fairly stable though it undergoes seasonal changes and a series of short-term cuts and fills. The beach appears to be quite safe as the ...
    • Studies on beach changes at Visakhapatnam 

      Chandramohan, P.; Rao, T.V.N.; Rao, D.P. (Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1981)
      Various factors controlling the coastal processes at 7.5 km long Visakhapatnam Beach were investigated in detail. Studies reveal that the depositional and erosional phases differ from place to place along this coast. Major ...
    • Tsunami impacts on morphology of beaches along south Kerala coast, west coast of India 

      Rasheed, K.A.A.; Das, V.K.; Revichandran, C.; Vijayan, P.R.; Thottam, T.J. (Tsunami Society, 2006)
      The present study is based on the post tsunami survey conducted in January 2005 along the southwest coast of India. Although tsunami affected the whole coastline of Kerala, it devastated the low-lying coastal areas of ...
