    Abstract
    The preliminary observations of the First Post-Tsunami Oceanographic Expedition in Andaman Nicobar region are presented in this paper. Thirty one scientists from National Institute of Oceanography (NIO), Goa, India; NIO, Regional Centre, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh; National Centre for Antarctic and Ocean Research (NCAOR), Vasco, Goa, India; National Physical and Oceanography Laboratory (NPOL), Kochi, Kerala have participated in a 37 day cruise onboard the Ocean Research Vessel Sagar Kanya from 16th January to 21st February 2005, within few weeks of the Great Sumatra earthquake and Tsunami event that has caused extensive damage both to the physiography and probably to the environment of the Andaman and Nicobar region. Multi-parameter oceanographic data including underway geophysical (bathymetry, gravity, swath-bathymetry, sub-bottom profiling), Physical parameters (CTD, XBT, Thermosalinograph, ADCP, etc), Chemical (Dissolved Oxygen, Nutrients, pH, etc), Biological (Phytoplankton, Zooplankton, etc) Geological (grab, spade and gravity cores) were collected in this cruise. Detailed analysis of the collected might reveal information on the post - tsunami impact in this region.
