A small autonomous surface vehicle for ocean color remote sensing
(IEEE, 2007)This paper provides a study on the development and the use of a small autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) that automatically follows programmed mission transects, while measuring sensor outputs along the tracks. It discusses ... -
Culture fishery resources of the tropical marine ecosystems
(Wiley Eastern, New Delhi, 1992)The exploited marine living resources, through capture fisheries, have their own limitations of resource potential, marine pollution and ever increasing operational cost. A plausible way to fulfil the increasing demand of ... -
Deep-sea mining: Economic, technical, technological, and environmental considerations for sustainable development
(Marine Technology Society, 2011)Mining of minerals such as polymetallic nodules from the deep-sea floor has been "on-hold" as a result of several factors such as current availability of Cu, Ni, Co and Mn from terrestrial sources and their fluctuating ... -
Deep-sea polymetallic nodule mining: Challenges ahead for technologists and environmentalists
(Taylor and Francis, 2003)Although, offshore mining for mineral wealth is not required at present, it may be the only alternative in the future due to the continuous growing demand for certain metals that have no or limited land deposits. Risk ... -

Relationship between size and geochemistry of polymetallic nodules from the Central Indian Ocean Basin: Significance in selection of high grade nodules
(Publ. and Inf. Dir., New Delhi, India, 1994)Morphological, mineralogical and geochemical studies on nodules of different sizes collected from the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) show two suits of nodule formation by oxic diagenetic and hydrogenous process resulting ... -
Shore protection structures along Kerala coast-low cost alteratives
(Kerala Science Congress, 1993)Several studies over the last two decades on low cost shore protection measures are reviewed to have an integrated profile with a point on application to the sheltered coasts of Kerala. It is emphasised that these alternative ...
