Resilience potential of an Indian Ocean reef: an assessment through coral recruitment pattern and survivability of juvenile corals to recurrent stress events
(Springer, 2017)
Coral reefs are degraded by the synergistic action of climate and anthropogenic stressors. Coral cover in the Palk Bay reef at the northern Indian Ocean largely declined in the past decade due to frequent bleaching events, ...
Shoreline changes along Tamil Nadu coast: A study based on archaeological and coastal dynamics perspective
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2014)
Available geophysical survey data confirm submergence of a large area comprising of building complex, which are possible remains of a submerged township A global sea level rise estimate of 1-2 mm per year would inundate ...
Site selection for offshore wind farms along the Indian coast
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2014)
This study deals with locating the potential sites for offshore wind farms and also deals with feasibility of installing offshore wind farms through scientific examination of the requirements along the coast of India ...
Archaeological Explorations of Kalingapatnam, Dantapur and Salihundam on the East Coast of India
(The Indian Society for Prehistoric and Quaternary Studies (ISPQS), 2019)
There are several coastal sites along the east and west coast of India from the Harappan period onwards which served as port and trade centres. Among ancient ports along the east coast of India, Kalingapatnam, Dantapur, ...
Geospatial analysis of long-term morphological changes in Cochin estuary, SW coast of India
(Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation, 2014)
The Cochin estuary along the SW coast of India has undergone tremendous environmental changes due to continuous alterations. Geospatial information available since 1967 has been compiled to evaluate the long-term morphological ...
Depositional record of trace metals and degree of contamination in core sediments from the Mandovi estuarine mangrove ecosystem, west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2015)
The concentrations of seven trace metals (Fe, Mn, Cu, Cr, Co, Pb and Zn) in three sediment cores were analysed to assess the depositional trends of metals and their contamination level in the Mandovi estuary, west coast ...
Storm and tsunami induced sediment transport and morphology changes in vicinity of tidal inlets
(Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, 2014)
This study comprises of numerical modelling studies on the morphology changes in the vicinity of tidal inlets. Two real case scenarios comprising of a very severe cyclonic storm and the mega Indian Ocean tsunami were ...
Implications of sea level rise scenarios on land use /land cover classes of the coastal zones of Cochin, India..
(Elsevier, 2015)
Physical responses of the coastal zones in the vicinity of Cochin, India due to sea level rise are investigated based on analysis of inundation scenarios. Quantification of potential habitat loss was made by merging the ...
Bacterial bioluminescence response to long-term exposure to reverse osmosis treated effluents from dye industries
(NRC Research Press, 2014)
The bacterial bioluminescence assay is one of the novel means for toxicity detection. The bioluminescence response of 2 marine bioluminescent bacteria was tested upon their long-term exposure to 9 different reverse osmosis ...
Use of geospatial techniques in maritime archaeology with reference to the Tamil Nadu coast
(Current Science Association, IAS, 2017)
Geospatial analysis of shoreline changes at a particu-lar place includes topographic sheets, satellite image-ries and field data. The remains of maritime activities along the Indian coast have been traced dating back to ...
