Anthropogenic effects on sediment quality offshore southwestern Taiwan: Assessing the sediment core geochemical record
(Elsevier, 2010)Slag material was dumped in two sites off southwestern Taiwan by the China Steel Corporation during 1984-1995. By geochemically analyzing four sediment cores, the impact of slag on the sediment chemistry is investigated. ... -
Role of hydrology in the formation of Co-rich Mn crusts from the equatorial N Pacific, equatorial S Indian Ocean and the NE Atlantic Ocean
(The Society of Resource Geology, 2010)Co-rich Mn crusts from four different locations of the world ocean have been studied to understand the role of dissolved oxygen of the ambient seawater in the formation of Co-rich Mn crusts. WOCE (World Ocean Circulation ... -
Incorporation of transition and platinum group elements (PGE) in Co-rich Mn crusts at Afanasiy-Nikitin Seamount (AFS) in the equatorial S Indian Ocean
(The Society of Resource Geology, 2010)Of the 12 elements enriched in Co-rich Mn crusts from the Afanasiy-Nikitin Seamount in the Equatorial S Indian Ocean, Mn, Fe and Co are enriched by a factor of approx. 10 sup(9) compared to their concentrations in seawater ... -
Is the biological productivity in the Bay of Bengal light limited?
(Current Science Association, 2010)Recent measurements of chlorophyll, primary productivity (PP) and nutrients along the central Bay of Bengal (BOB) during summer, fall and spring intermonsoons showed that the northern bay becomes less productive compared ... -
Accumulation of humic acid in DET/DGT gels
(American Chemical Society, 2010)Gel layer based sensors are increasingly employed for dynamic trace metal speciation analysis in aquatic and soil media. In DGT (Diffusive Gradient in Thin film), polyacrylamide hydrogels are commonly used for the diffusive ... -
Seasonal variation of the flux of living coccolithophore communities in the Bay of Bengal and their implication on hydrography
(2007)The Bay of Bengal, the area of investigation is greatly influenced by the Asian monsoons and is highly diversified in its oceanographic setting from northern to southern Bay. For example, the northern Bay is largely impacted ... -
Wave refraction patterns and their role in sediment redistribution along South Konkan, Maharashtra, India
(University of Bologna, 2008)Wave refraction studies were undertaken for the nearshore sediments of four bays, Wada Vetye, Ambolgarh, Rajapur and Vijaydurg along the Konkan coast, Mahamhtra, Central west coast of India, to understand the effect of ... -
Application of neural networks in coastal engineering - An overview
(Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, 2008)Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is being applied to solve a wide variety of coastal/ocean engineering problems. In practical terms ANNs are non-linear modeling tools and they can be used to model complex relationship between ... -
Coral reef research in India
(Centre for Environmental Studies, 2008)The article focuses on current developments regarding reef research in India, rather than dwelling at length why reefs are important, how they function and what resources they sustain. It is known from the many articles ... -
Investigation of normal force and moment coefficients for an AUV at nonlinear angle of attack and sideslip range
(IEEE, 2008)This paper presents a comparative study of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and analytical and semiempirical (ASE) methods applied to the prediction of the normal force and moment coefficients of an autonomous underwater ... -
Piram island: Pirates Fort in the Gulf of Khambat
(Indian Archaeological Society, 2008)Traditionally, Piram Island has been considered as landmark point for the navigators in the Gulf of Cambay. The mention has also been made that Island has served as heaven for pirates. A coastal archaeological exploration ... -
Role of microbes in the ecology of marine environment
(Centre for Environmental Studies, 2008)Microbes are mostly unicellular microscopic living entities falling under the domains Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya. They have multiple roles to play in the environment both for their own survival and towards maintaining ... -
Stability prediction of berm breakwater using neural network
(Dubai Municipality, 2008)In the present study, an artificial neural network method has been applied to predict the stability of berm breakwaters. Four neural network models are constructed based on the parameters which influence the stability of ... -
Microlevel mapping of coastal geomorphology and coastal resources of Rameswaram island, India: A remote sensing and GIS perspective
(Coastal Education and Reserch Foundation, 2010)Coastal areas are facing serious threats from both manmade and natural disturbances; coastal erosion, sea-level variation, and cyclones are the major factors that alter the coastal topography and coastal resources of the ... -
Investigation of the generation and propagation of low frequency internal waves: A case study for the east coast of India
(Elsevier, 2010)SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) images in the northwest Bay of Bengal indicate the existence of internal waves and their occurrence and intensity is topography dependent as indicated by in-situ data and satellite information. ... -
Natural and human-induced hypoxia and consequences for coastal areas: Synthesis and future development
(European Geosciences Union, 2010)Hypoxia has become a world-wide phenomenon in the global coastal ocean and causes a deterioration of the structure and function of ecosystems. Based on the collective contributions of members of SCOR Working Group 128, the ... -
