(Springer, 2016)Wave spectra of the measured data at 13 m water depth off Ratnagiri using the Datawell Directional waverider buoy from March 2010 to November 2014 are used to study the daily, monthly, seasonal and annual variations in the ... -
Phosphorous fractionation in mangrove sediments of Kerala, south west coast of India: the relative importance of inorganic and organic phosphorous fractions
(Springer, 2016)The study of phosphorous dynamics in mangrove ecosystems of the northern Kerala coast aims to delineate its relationships with other biogeochemical parameters. Our intension is to check the validity of the hypothesis that ... -
Crustal accretion at a sedimented spreading center in the Andaman Sea
(Geological Society of America, 2016)The magmatic, tectonic, and hydrothermal processes forming the oceanic crust along mid-ocean spreading centers are strongly modified at sedimented spreading centers but poorly understood owing to the lack of good crustal ... -
Directional characteristics of shallow water waves along southwestern Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2016)The aim of the present research is to investigate the directional characteristics of waves along the southwestern Bay of Bengal based on the measured data during 2010 at 14 m water depth. Diurnal, monthly and annual variation ... -
A note on an occurrence of pseudo-pumice along the beaches of Goa and Karnataka

Substrate deposit effect on the characteristic of an intertidal macroalgal community
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2015)Present study consists the effect of substrate deposit (silt, clay, sand, gravel and shards of shells) on the characteristic of an intertidal rocky shore macroalgae Macroalgal assemblage was segregated from substrate deposit ... -
Seafloor micro-roughness, benthic macro-fauna, and sediment substrate: A study of their interrelationship using high-frequency echo-sounding systems
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2015)The spatial variability of sediment geoacoustic inversion results, derived from dual-frequency single-beam (SBES) and multi-beam echosounder system (MBES) operable at 33/210 kHz and 95 kHz, respectively, have been analyzed ... -
Macrobenthic community structure of coastal Arabian Sea during the fall intermonsoon
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2014)In the Arabian Sea, organic matter produced during the upwelling period reaches the seafloor by the end of the monsoon and during the fall intermonsoon period (FIM) Studies on the benthic community is lacking during this ... -
