Impact of port structures on the shoreline of Karnataka, west coast, India
(Cloud Publications, 2016)The changes in shoreline positions and geomorphic features along the Karnataka, West coast of India, were studied for the period from 1973 to 2014, using multi-dated satellite images and topographic maps. The ten hotspots ... -
Baseline geophysical data for hazard management in coastal areas in relation to earthquakes and tsunamis
(Sage Publication, 2016)A systematic study of geophysical data of the Eastern Continental Margin of India was taken up to identify the land-ocean tectonic lineaments over the east coast of India and the possible neotectonic activity associated ... -
Role of distinct flavours of IOD events on Indian summer monsoon
(Springer, 2016)The summer monsoon contributes to about 75 % of mean annual rainfall over the various meteorological subdivisions of India. The role of ocean–atmosphere phenomena such as Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) and El Nino-Southern ... -
Basement configuration of KG offshore basin from magnetic anomalies
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2016)Marine magnetic anomalies along three representative profiles falling between shelf break and continent-ocean boundary in the offshore Krishna-Godavari basin were quantitatively interpreted for understanding the nature and ... -
Cyclone and monsoonal wave characteristics of northwestern Bay of Bengal: long-term observations and modeling
(Springer, 2016)Long-term wave data play a crucial role in arriving the wave criteria for ports and harbors and shore protection structures. Seasonal and annual wave characteristics are studied based on wave data collected for the year ... -
Response of sheltered and built-up coasts in the wake of natural hazards: The aftermath of the December 2004 Tsunami, Tamil Nadu, India
(Springer, 2016)The geomorphology and the disposition of natural features and type of coast are major factors that control wave heights and govern consequent inundation distances. The connection between tsunami run-up heights and inundation ... -
Assessing the suitability of benthic foraminiferal morpho-groups to reconstruct paleomonsoon from Bay of Bengal
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2016)Temporal changes in benthic foraminiferal morpho-groups were suggested as an effective proxy to reconstruct past monsoon intensity from the Arabian Sea. Here, in order to test the applicability of temporal variation in ... -
Diversity and activity of methanotrophic related bacteria in subsurface sediments of the Krishna-Godavari Basin, India
(Current Science Association, 2016)The present study assesses the distribution, diversity and activity of aerobic methanotrophic related bacteria (MRB) dwelling in Krishna-Godavari (KG) basin, India. The counts of MRB ranged from non-detectable(ND) to 8.6 ... -
Prediction of gas hydrate saturation throughout the seismic section in Krishna Godavari basin using multivariate linear regression and multi-layer feed forward neural network approach
(Springer, 2016)Stepwise linear regression, multi-layer feed forward neural (MLFN) network method was used to predict the 2D distribution of P-wave velocity, resistivity, porosity, and gas hydrate saturation throughout seismic section ... -
Wave hindcast studies using SWAN nested in WAVEWATCH III - comparison with measured nearshore buoy data off Karwar, eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2016)Waves in the nearshore waters (~15 m water-depth) of eastern Arabian Sea were simulated using SWAN nested in WAVEWATCH III (WW3) for the year 2014. The sensitivity of the numerical wave model WW3 towards different source ... -
Testing the efficiency of temperate benthic biotic indices in assessing the ecological status of a tropical ecosystem
(Elsevier, 2016)The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the ecological status of tropical coastal waters using the temperate benthic indices and examine the effect of seasonal variability on the performance of benthic indices. ... -
Sedimentary pigments and nature of organic matter within the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) of the Eastern Arabian Sea (Indian margin)
(Elsevier, 2016)Sedimentary pigments, carbon and nitrogen content and their stable isotopes were studied in three short cores collected from the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) of the Eastern Arabian Sea (EAS). Nine pigments including chlorophyll ... -
Seasonal nutrient chemistry in mountainous river systems of tropical Western Peninsular India
(Taylor and Francis, 2015)Nutrient chemistry was studied in three mountainous rivers (Mandovi, Zuari and Netravati), across western peninsular India (WPI) during south-west monsoon (SWM), post-monsoon and pre-monsoon seasons of year 2011-2012. ... -
Remediation techniques for heavy-metals contamination in lakes: A Mini-Review
(Wiley, 2015)Heavy-metals contamination in lakes has a negative impact on lake ecosystems This review provides an insight into possible heavy-metals remediation techniques for lake environments using different techniques, for example, ... -
