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 ...
Is the biological productivity in the Bay of Bengal light limited?
(Current Science Association, 2010)
Recent measurements of chlorophyll, primary productivity (PP) and nutrients along the central Bay of Bengal (BOB) during summer, fall and spring intermonsoons showed that the northern bay becomes less productive compared ...
Evaluation and performance enhancement of a pressure transducer under flows, waves, and a combination of flows and waves
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)
The performance of a pressure transducer, with its inlet attached to differing hydromechanical front ends, has been evaluated in flow flume and wave flume experiments in which laminar and turbulent flows, and regular ...
Can the ecological status of three differentially impacted monsoonal tropical estuaries in NW India, be adequately assessed by a common estuarine benthic index?
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)
Effective management measures for improving rapidly deteriorating estuaries around the world are hugely dependent on accurate evaluation of the ecological status, which is a challenge in itself considering the Estuarine ...
Ploymetallic nodule resources in the central Indian Ocean
(National Inst. of Oceanography (CSIR); India, 2009)
Seabottom characterization using multibeam echosounder angular backscatter: An application of the composite roughness theory
(IEEE, 2000)
Composite roughness theory is used to characterize Southern Ocean bottom backscatter (multibeam) data. Spectral parameters based on Helmholtz-Kirchhof's theory (1) are determined from measured near-normal incidence values. ...
Progress in the technology of nautical charting
(Marcel Dekker; New York; USA, 2002)
This article describes the various methodologies used from time to time for portraying the geographical details of the earth's surface pertaining to the seas, coastal areas, and features of the seabed for general marine ...
Relevance of Relative Sea Surface Temperature for Tropical Rainfall Interannual Variability
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2020)
The coupling between sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies and rainfall is an important driver of tropical climate variability. Observations however reveal inconsistencies, such as decreased convective rainfall in regions ...
Coastal zones in Goa
