Coastal erosion triggered by a shipwreck along the coast of Goa, India
(Current Science Association, 2013)
Temporal satellite imageries (1999, 2001, 2003, 2006, 2008 and 2011), wave model (DHI) results and field measurements have been used to evaluate whether the grounded ship MV River Princess played a role in triggering erosion ...
Spatio-temporal distributions of delta<sup>18</sup>O, delta D and salinity in the Arabian Sea: Identifying processes and controls
(Elsevier, 2013)
Isotopic compositions ( delta<sup>18O</sup> and deltaD) and salinity (S) of 683 surface water samples from the Arabian Sea (AS) collected during 2008–2010, were measured to understand the factors controlling the spatio-temporal ...
Photobacterium marinum sp. nov., a marine bacterium isolated from a sediment sample from Palk Bay, India
(Elsevier, 2013)
The novel, cream colored, Gram-staining-negative, rod-shaped, motile bacteria, designated strains AK15 sup(T) and AK18, were isolated from sediment samples collected from Palk Bay, India. Both strains were positive for ...
Effects of iron availability on pigment signature and biogenic silica production in the coastal diatom Chaetoceros gracilis
(Taylor and Francis, 2013)
The effects of iron availability on pigment signature and biogenic silica production were investigated for the first time in the coastal diatom Chaetoceros gracilis (isolated from the SW coast of the Bay of Bengal, India). ...
Meiofauna-mangrove interaction: A pilot study from a tropical mangrove habitat
(Station Biologique de Roscoff, 2013)
We studied meiofauna in the sediments and on the surface of roots of four mangrove vegetation types in Chorao island, Goa, Central West coast of India. A total of 14 taxa were recorded from the mangrove roots while 12 taxa ...
Natural hazards, disasters and human kind: Whither ecosystem management?
(Cafet-Innova Technical Society, 2013)
Natural hazards such as yearly storm surges that create irreplaceable damage, the December 2004 tsunami that demolished large parts of the Indian coast, and the June 2013 Himalayan floods that swept river banks proved yet ...
Observed characteristics of tide-surge interaction along the east coast of India and the head of Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2013)
Hourly tide-gauge data at Chennai, Visakhapatnam and Paradip along the east coast of India and at Hiron Point, at the head of Bay of Bengal, were analysed statistically for tide-surge interaction. Dependency of surge maxima ...
Open archiving of a ceased Indian journal: Inspired by third law
(CSIR-SERC, 2013)
Before the commercial and impact factor journals ruled the publications industry, many institutes were showcasing their scholarly research output in the journals owned by them or by other institutes/societies. The CSIR-National ...
A novel methodology for adaptive wave filtering of marine vessels: Theory and experiments
(IEEE, 2013)
This paper addresses a filtering problem that arises in the design of dynamic positioning systems for ships and offshore rigs subjected to the influence of sea waves. The vessel`s dynamic model adopted captures the sea ...
Tidal variations in the Sundarbans estuarine system, India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2013)
Situated in the eastern coastal state of West Bengal, the Sundarbans Estuarine System (SES) is India’s largest monsoonal, macro-tidal delta-front estuarine system. It comprises the southernmost part of the Indian portion ...
