Sources and distribution of organic matter in thirty five tropical estuaries along the west coast of India-a preliminary assessment
(Elsevier, 2014)Studies characterizing the sources of organic matter (OM) to the west coast of India (WCI) and its continental shelf are limited. This study examined sedimentary OM in 35 estuaries along the WCI using molecular biomarkers ... -
Fungi living in diverse extreme habitats of the marine environment
(Mycological Society of India, 2014)The marine environment contains several habitats characterized by extreme living conditions. However, extremophilic marine fungi were neither well known, nor often studied. Many studies in recent years have shown that fungi ... -
Using remote sensing and gis techniques for detecting land cover changes of mangrove habitats in Goa, India
(Sana’a University, 2014)Ecologically Sensitive Marine Habitats (ESMH), including mangroves ecosystems, is of immense ecological and socioeconomic values. Goa, a tourist destination, has limited cover of such habitats and has been intensively ... -
Genetic divergence between Auxis thazard and A. rochei based on PCR-RFLP analysis of mtDNA D-loop region
(Central Fisheries Research Institute (CFRI) Trabzon, 2014)Tunas of genus Auxis are commercially and ecologically important fish of family Scombridae. There is currently no information concerning the genetic divergence between A. thazard and A. rochei. Therefore, a study was ... -
Near shore waves, long-shore currents and sediment transport along micro-tidal beaches, central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2014)Coastlines are undergoing constant geomorphologic changes with respect to the incident wave climate. Based on waves measured at 9 m water depth, simulation of near shore wave transformation is done using REFDIF-1 numerical ... -
Multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis to characterize phase couplings in seahorse (Hippocampus kuda) feeding clicks.
(Acoustical Society of America, 2014)Nonlinear phenomena in animal vocalizations fundamentally includes known features, namely, frequency jump, subharmonics, biphonation, and deterministic chaos. In the present study, the multifractal detrended fluctuation ... -
Beach dynamics and oscillations of shoreline position in recent years at Miramar Beach, Goa, India: a study from a GPR survey.
(Springer, 2014)Consideration of human influences is crucial to understanding the coastal sediment supply and associated shoreline responses prior to undertaking coastal hazard management studies. Observation of the widening of some ... -
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 ... -
Community structure and coral status across reef fishing intensity gradients in Palk Bay reef, southeast coast of India.
(Springer, 2014)Coral reef fishes are exploited without the knowledge of their sustainability and their possible effect in altering the community structure of a coral reef ecosystem. Alteration of the community structure could cause a ... -
Waves off Gopalpur, northern Bay of Bengal during cyclone Phailin.
(European Geosciences Union, 2014)The wave statistical parameters during Cyclone Phailin which crossed the northern Bay of Bengal are described based on the Directional Waverider buoy-measured wave data from 8 to 13 October 2013. On 12 October 2013, the ... -
Temporally invariable bacterial community structure in the Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone.
(Inter-Research, 2014)The Northeastern Arabian Sea (NEAS) is a recognized region of intense denitrification, with a 200 to 1200 m anoxic water column. We studied the abundance of bacteria, viral particles and the bacterial community (BC), in ... -
Integrated ocean drilling program expedition 341 Preliminary report: Southern Alaska margin- Interactions of tectonics, climate, and sedimentation
(Integrated Ocean Drilling Program, 2013)Global climate during the Neogene is distinguished by the transition into a colder, more variable world dominated by the onset and intensification of major Northern Hemisphere glaciations. This transition to the icehouse ... -
Why do satellite imageries show exceptionally high chlorophyll in the Gulf of mannar and the Palk bay during the norteast monsoon?.
(Springer, 2014)The Gulf of Mannar (GoM) and the Palk Bay (PB) are two least studied marine environments located between India and Sri Lanka. Exceptionally high chlorophyll a concentration in the GoM and the PB during the Northeast Monsoon ... -
Monsoonal effects on beach and offshore sediments from kalbadevi bay, Ratnagiri, Maharashtra state, India.
(DAV publisher, 2014)Sediment samples representing the beach and offshore area of Kalbadevi Bay, Ratnagiri, Maharashtra were studied for different seasons along three east-west beach profiles (BP-01, BP-02 and BP-03) which covered berm, dune, ... -
The Myanmar continental shelf
(The Geological Society of London, 2014)The Myanmar (Burma) coastline is about 2280 km long, with the continental shelf covering an area of approximately 230 000 km<SUP>2</SUP>. The Myanmar coastline may be divided into the northern Rakhine (Arakan) coast, the ... -
Late holocene primary productivity and sea surface temperature variations in the northeastern Arabian Sea: Implications for winter monsoon variability.
(American Geophysical Union, 2014)Variability in the oceanic environment of the Arabian Sea region is strongly influenced by the seasonal monsoon cycle of alternating wind directions. Prominent and well studied is the summer monsoon, but much less is known ... -
GPR studies over the tsunami affected Karaikal beach, Tamil Nadu, south India.
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2014)In this study, results of GPR profiling related to mapping of subsurface sedimentary layers at tsunami affected Karaikal beach are presented . A 400 MHz antenna was used for profiling along 262 m stretch of transect from ... -
An appraisal of an iterative construction of the endmembers controlling the composition of deep-sea manganese nodules from the Central Indian Ocean Basin.
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2014)This paper describes an estimation of endmember compositions followed by the assessment of those results by log-ratio variance analysis. As an appraisal, it deals only with the first objective of an endmember analysis ... -
