Repercussions of embarkation wharves in Lakshadweep Islands on coral communities and their ecology
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2014)
Present study infers that the construction of embarkation wharves in four of the Lakshadweep islands (Agatti, Amini, Kavaratti and Minicoy) in the last 5 years was accompanied by a marked degradation of coral community ...
Sediment characteristics at intertidal regions across Yarada beach, East coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2014)
Sediment samples were collected once a month at five different inter-tidal zones across Yarada beach during May-2009 to May-2010 These sediments are characterized by bimodal and unimodal behaviour and most of them are ...
A note on an occurrence of pseudo-pumice along the beaches of Goa and Karnataka
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2015)
Clasts showing typical physical features of pumice were found scattered along the beaches of Goa and Karnataka Their chemical composition suggests a large variation in SiO<sub>2</sub> content (69% to 93%), with an unusual ...
Lithospheric stretching and the long wavelength free-air gravity anomaly of the Eastern Continental margin of India and the 85 degree E Ridge, Bay of Bengal
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2015)
Among the submarine ridge systems in the northern Indian Ocean, the 85 degree E Ridge in the Bay of Bengal is more enigmatic owing to its peculiar anomalous negative free-air gravity. In general, this has been attributed ...
