Taluka level environmental sensitivity index (ESI) and vulnerability mapping for oil spills: A pilot study from Goa state, India
(Sultan Qaboos Univ., 2010)
Coastlines are at risk when floating oil slicks reach the shoreline. Oil spill causes major stress on the marine environment. To deal with oil spill problem in the coastal area, Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) maps ...
Coastal vulnerability assessment of Puducherry coast, India, using the analytical hierarchical process
(European Geosciences Union, 2013)
As a consequence of change in global climate, an increased frequency of natural hazards such as storm surges, tsunamis and cyclones, is predicted to have dramatic affects on the coastal communities and ecosystems by virtue ...
Morpho-dynamic evolution of Ekakula spit of Odisha coast, India using satellite data
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2014)
Ekakula spit is t at the northern end of Gahirmatha coast in the state of Odisha, India This spit is located at the mouth of Maipura River which is falling in the Mahanadi delta region This spit is a prominent and important ...
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 ...
Monitoring shoreline environment of Paradip, east coast of India using remote sensing
(Current Science Association, 2009)
In the present study, multi-temporal satellite images of Indian Remote Sensing Satellites (IRS1D and IRS P6 - Resourcesat) from 1998 to 2005 is used to monitor the coastal environment of Paradip, east coast of India. 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 ...
Coastal sensitivity mapping of Gulf of Kachchh and Gulf of Cambay, India
(Hasanuddin University, Indonesia, 2013)
In this study, two major Gulf regions (Gulf of Kachchh, Gulf of Cambay) along the west coast of India have been selected for their coastal sensitivity. These two gulfs region have the highest number of ports in the country ...
Landuse/landcover studies of areas in and around Paradip Port, east cost of India
(National Institute of Technology, Surathkal, 2007)
The coast of Paradip (Orissa, India) is one of the regions where several coastal based developments have taken place in the last 10 years. Satellite imageries of IRS 1D P6 LISS III for the period 1999-2005 have been used ...
What drives nearshore sediment transport controls on the depletion of beach placers at Manavalakurichi, Southwest Coast of India?.
(Taylor and Francis, 2014)
An in-depth analysis has been made to simulate hydrodynamic scenarios for understanding the nearshore sediment transport controls of placer mineral depletion at Manavalakurichi, India. From the analyses of topographic ...
A new insight to vulnerability of Central Odisha coast, India using analytical hierarchical process (AHP) based approach
(Springer Netherlands, 2018)
The occurrence of the Phailin, Hudhud cyclones in the Bay of Bengal region highlights the importance of continuous monitoring of this area from the coastal vulnerability perspective. The increase in the magnitude and ...
