Evaluation of surface water and sediment quality in Chicalim Bay, Nerul Creek, and Chapora Bay from Goa coast, India - a statistical approach
(Springer, 2016)To better understand the spatial and temporal variation in surface water and sediment quality, parameters were evaluated from the three sites Chicalim Bay (CB), Nerul Creek (NC), and Chapora Bay (ChB) along the Goa coast, ... -
Microbial and biochemical alterations due to storage of deep-sea sediments under ambient tropical conditions
(NISCAIR Publications, 2016)Response of indigenous bacteria to incubation at normal pressure and tropical temperature (28 ± 2°C), were examined in four deep-sea sediments from polymetallic-nodule fields in Central Indian Basin (CIB). Sediments were ... -
Characteristics of long-period swells measured in the near shore regions of eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2016)Measured wave data covering two years simultaneously at 3 locations along the eastern Arabian Sea reveals the presence of long-period (peak wave period > 18 s) low-amplitude waves (significant wave height < 1 m) and the ... -
Impact of accidental leakage of furnace oil on Mahul creek mangrove vegetation

(Elsevier, 2016)This study presents an easy, modular, user-friendly, and flexible software package for processing of Landsat 7 ETM and Landsat 8 OLI-TIRS data for estimating suspended particulate matter concentrations in the coastal waters. ... -
The abrupt onset of the modern South Asian monsoon winds
(Macmillan Publishers Limited, 2016)The South Asian Monson (SAM) is one of the most intense climatic elements yet its initiation and variations are not well established. Dating the deposits of SAM wind-driven currents in IODP cores from the Maldives yields ... -
Community structure and coral health status across the depth gradients of Grande Island, Central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2016)The Grande Island, located at the central west coast of India is one of the less studied coral reef systems in India. In this study, we provide a comprehensive description of the coral community structure and health status ... -
