Beach changes at Visakhapatnam due to the cyclone of May 1979
(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 ... -
Effect of an oil spill from MV Sea Transporter on intertidal meiofauna at Goa, India
(Pergamon, 2002)Short and long term effects of a fuel oil spill from a grounded ship "MV Sea Transporter" on meiofauna of a sandy beach of North Goa at Sinquerim and adjacent Cadolim and Calangute beaches along the central West Coast of ... -
Geomorphic processes in the vicinity of the Venkatapur river mouth, central west coast of India: Implications for estuarine sedimentation
(Coastal Education and Reserch Foundation, 2010)Geomorphic processes in the vicinity of river mouths of the central west coast of India using the Venkatapur River as a representative is discussed. Multidate satellite image analyses, wave-refraction patterns, time-series ... -
Morphology and grain-size characteristics of a log-spiral beach at Nagwa (Diu), west coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1985)Sediment samples collected along 6 beach profiles of a log-spiral shaped beach and nearby dunes have been studied for particle size distribution in relation to wave refraction patterns. The results reveal that the foreshore ... -

(Allied, Chennai, 2001)Ten base stations were established along the shoreline between Karwar and Bhatkal and monthly beach profiles, breaking wave characteristics and longshore currents were measured for a period of one year. The lowest beach ... -
Protective role of coastal ecosystems in the context of the tsunami in Tamil Nadu coast, India: Implications for hazard preparedness
(Taylor and Francis, 2007)To assess the damage caused by the Indian Ocean Tsunami of 26 December 2004, post-tsunami field surveys were undertaken during January and April, 2005 from Chennai to Velankanni along the Tamil Nadu coast. Beach profiles ... -
Sediment Budget of a Portion of Trivandrum Beach (Kerala)
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1981)Results of beach profile studies carried out on a section of 2.4 kilometres of the Trivandrum Beach during the period April 1976 to March 1977 are presented in this paper. It is evident from these studies that shoreline ... -
Short-term observation of beach dynamics using cross-shore profiles and foreshore sediment
(Elsevier, 2012)Cross-shore beach profiles and textural characteristics of foreshore sediment were analyzed for understanding an annual cycle of intertidal beach dynamics at Devbag, an Island sheltered estuarine coast. Cross-shore transects ... -
Wave refraction in relation to beach stability along the coast from Cape Ramas to Karwar
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1976)Results of wave refraction and beach profile studies are presented for a stretch of 35 km shore line comprising of Loliem Beach, Karwar, Karnataka, India which is separated by rock promontories from comparatively stable ...
