Seismic structure and tectonics of the continental margins of India
(Professional Books, 2010)In this chapter we have discussed and synthesized the last 15 years marine geophysical research work on Indian continental margins and adjoining oceanic regions carried out at National Institute of Oceanography, Goa India). ... -
Instrumental, terrestrial and marine records of the climate of South Asia during the Holocene: Present status, unresolved problems and societal aspects
(Capital Publishing Co., 2010)A key societal aspect is to recognize the factors controlling the spatial variability and the distribution patterns of rainfall in a season, and its long as well as short term variability due to natural factors. We archive ... -
Ghogha: An Indo-Arabian Trading Post in the Gulf of Khambhat (Cambay), India
(The Nautical Archaeology Society, 2010)The ancient port of Ghogha is situated on the western bank of the Gulf of Khambhat, which has the highest tidal range in India, and the remains of the oldest civilization. Recent marine archaeological explorations in this ... -
Exploration of a steamship wreck off Amee shoals, Goa, India: A preliminary report
(The Nautical Archaeology Society, 2010)Recent explorations off Amee shoals, Goa, have brought to light the remains of a steel-hulled steam-engine shipwreck, scattered over a large area. Though sparse and heavily salvaged, this site represents the first discovery ... -
The life cycle of the free-living marine nematode Innocuonema tentabunda De Man 1890
(Istituto per la Protezione delle Piante - Sez. di BARI, 2009)The free-living marine nematode Innocuonema tentabunda was collected from the mangrove sediment of a mud-flat at Chorao Island, Goa, India, and reared in the laboratory to investigate its life cycle at 27 plus or minus 2 ... -
Habitat heterogeneity and its influence on benthic biodiversity in oxygen minimum zones
(Blackwell Verlag GmbH, 2010)Oxygen minimum zones (OMZs; midwater regions with O sub(2) concentrations <0.5 ml l sup(-1)) are mid-water features that intercept continental margins at bathyal depths (100-1000 m). They are particularly well developed ... -
Changes in the coastal and marine environments
(Capital Publishing Co., 2010)The environmental setting and possible influence of global environmental change, including that of climate change, have been presented for coastal and marine environments of South Asia. This has been dealt with in seven ... -
Physical oceanography

Detection of DNA damage in fish Oreochromis mossambicus induced by co-exposure to phenanthrene and nitrite by ESI-MS/MS
(Springer-Verlag, 2010)Mutagenic nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nitro-PAHs) have been known to arise in the environment through direct emissions from combustion sources and nitration of PAHs, primarily in the atmosphere. In the marine ... -
Studies on the sediments of Vembanad Lake, Kerala state Part III Distribution and interpretation of bottom sediments
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1974)Distribution patterns of FE, Mn, Ti, Ni, Co and Cu in sediments of Vembanad Lake and adjoining river systems have revealed that (1) elemental concentrations follow closely the texture of the sediments, (2) river sands ... -
Fungal diversity in oxygen-depleted regions of the Arabian Sea revealed by targeted environmental sequencing combined with cultivation
(Blackwell Publishing, 2010)In order to study fungal diversity in oxygen minimum zones of the Arabian Sea, we analyzed 1440 cloned small subunit rRNA gene (18S rRNA gene) sequences obtained from environmental samples using three different PCR primer ... -
Indian Ocean margins
(Springer-Verlag, 2010)The most important biogeochemical transformations and boundary exchanges in the Indian Ocean seem to occur in the northern region, where the processes originating at the land-ocean boundary extend far beyond the continental ... -
Carbon and nitrogen fluxes in the North Indian Ocean
(Springer-Verlag, 2010)The land mass that blocks the Indian Ocean in the north at low latitudes profoundly influences the climate, circulation and biogeochemical processes of its northern basins. The asymmetrical distribution of freshwater and ... -
Geochemical characterization of oceanic basalts using artificial neural network
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2009)The geochemical discriminate diagrams help to distinguish the volcanics recovered from different tectonic settings but these diagrams tend to group the ocean floor basalts (OFB) under one class i.e., as mid-oceanic ridge ... -
The nature and distribution of particulate matter in the Mandovi Estuary, central west coast of India
(Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation, 2010)Systematic seasonal variations of suspended particulate matter (SPM) along a 44-km transect of the Mandovi estuary reveal that the concentrations of SPM are low at river-end stations, increase generally seaward, and are ... -
Dynamics of formation of ferromanganese nodules in the Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2010)The ferromanganese nodule resources of the Indian Ocean Nodule Field (IONF) are second only in the world in terms of metal content and abundance. Since it was made known by Mero (1965) that several trillion tonnes of ... -
Hydrography and biogeochemistry of the coastal ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)The coastal ocean accounts for only 7% of the total oceanic area, but it plays a very important role in biogeochemical cycles. It not only exchanges energy and matter with the open ocean, but terrestrial inputs of materials ... -
The next generation of iron fertilization experiments in the southern Ocean
(Cambridge University Press, 2010)Of the various macro-engineering schemes proposed to mitigate global warming, ocean iron fertilization (OIF) is one that could be started at short notice on relevant scales. It is based on the reasoning that adding trace ... -
Ocean wave prediction using numerical and neural network models
(Bentham Open, 2010)This paper presents an overview of the development of the numerical wave prediction models and recently used neural networks for ocean wave hindcasting and forecasting. The numerical wave models express the physical concepts ... -
Geochemical characterisation of major and trace elements in the coastal sediments of India
(Springer, 2010)Thirty-five surface sediment samples from the Indian continental shelf were recovered offshore from the mouths of the major rivers (Brahmaputra, Ganges, Narmada, Tapti, Godavari, Krishna and Cauvery) discharging into the ...
