Morphology and tectonics of Mahanadi Basin, northeastern continental margin of India from geophysical studies
(Elsevier, 2008)The bathymetry, total intensity magnetic and satellite free-air gravity data over the eastern continental margin of India between the latitudes 18 degrees 30 minutes N and 20 degrees N within the water depths of 25-2300 m ... -
Sand fences: An environment-friendly technique to restore degraded coastal dunes
(Geological Society Of India, 2008)An experiment to rebuild a dune field is attempted at Miramar beach, Goa, India. Installation of sand fences, a simple, cheap and environment friendly method of inducing accretion of sand is proposed as a remedial management ... -
Isostatic response of the Laccadive Ridge from admittance analysis of gravity and bathymetry data
(Elsevier, 2008)The Laccadive Ridge (L-R), trending roughly parallel to the west coast of India, is an intriguing segmentof the northernmost Chagos-Laccadive Ridge (C-L-R) system. Although crustal nature and isostatic response of the ... -
Geotechnical characteristics of siliceous sediments from the Central Indian Basin
(Current Science Association, 2008)Geotechnical properties and grain size analysis of surface sediments from the CIB showed silty clays of high porosity due to loose fabric of very fine particles, bioturbation and radiolarian tests. Their water content ... -
Morphotectonics of the Carlsberg Ridge between 62 degrees 20 minutes and 66 degrees 20 minutes E, northwest Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2008)The segmentation pattern of 440 km long section of the Carlsberg Ridge between 62 degrees 20 minutes E and 66 degrees 20 minutes E, in the northwest Indian Ocean, has been studied using multibeam bathymetry and magnetic ... -
Abiotic oxidation of pyrite by Fe(III) in acidic media and its implications for sulfur isotope measurements of lattice-bound sulfate in sediments
(Elsevier, 2008)We have evaluated the relative importance of Fe sup(3+) to dissolved oxygen in pyrite oxidation, and its implications for measuring an accurate sulfur isotope composition (delta Sup(34) S) in trace sulfates extracted from ... -
Possible factors that control calcite dissolution in the western tropical Indian Ocean
(Current Science Association, 2008)Calcite dissolution in marine sediments is known to be driven by the degree of saturation state with respect to calcium carbonate, of overlying bottom waters. Three paleocarbonateion proxies, planktonic foraminifer size ... -
Blooms of Noctiluca miliaris in the Arabian Sea - An in situ and satellite study
(Elsevier, 2008)Phytoplankton cell density, chlorophyll a (chl a) concentration and pigment data collected during a series of five cruises in the northern Arabian Sea in the Northeast Monsoon (NEM, Nov-Jan) and the Spring Intermonsoon ... -
An overview of Suctorian ciliates (Ciliophora, Suctorea) as epibionts of halacarid mites (Acari, Halacaridae)
(Magnolia Press, 2008)Scant information is available regarding the prevalence and distribution of suctorian ciliates on halacarid mites. However, using this limited information and data from our laboratory on the systematics, biology, ecology ... -
Bifunctional xylanases and their potential use in biotechnology
(Society for Industrial Microbiology, 2008)Plant cell walls are comprised of cellulose, hemicellulose and other polymers that are intertwined. This complex structure acts as a barrier to degradation by single enzyme. Thus, a cocktail consisting of bi and multifunctional ... -
A serine protease inhibitor from hemolymph of green mussel, Perna viridis
(Elsevier, 2008)Bioactivity guided fractions of cell-free hemolymph of bacterially challenged marine mussel, Perna viridis led to the isolation of a novel quaternary alkaloid 1, which was identified by its spectral data. The isolated ... -
Abundance of thraustochytridsand bacteria in the equatorial Indian Ocean, in relation totransparent exopolymeric particles (TEPs)
(Blackwell Publishing, 2008)Thraustochytrid protists are often abundant in coastal waters. However, their population dynamics and substrate preferences in the oceanic water column are poorly understood.We studied the abundance and distribution of ... -
Vulnerability and adaptation of ecologically sensitive mangrove habitats to the changing climate
(2008)Maldive islands on Laccadive archipelago, from Indian Ocean sustain multi tier ecologically sensitive marine habitats in shallow and intertidal zones. They consist of coral, seagrass, seaweed, mangrove and sand dune ... -

Impact of sea breeze of the sea off Goa, west coast of India
(Allied, India, 2003)After withdrawal of the Indian Summer Monsoon and until onset of the next monsoon, i.e. roughly during November-May, winds in the coastal region of India are dominated by sea breeze. Impact of daily cycle of the breeze on ... -
Tides in the Gulf of Khambhat, west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2003)Semi-diurnal tides in the Gulf of Khambhat (Cambay), west coast of India, amplify about threefold from mouth to head. In contrast, the amplification of diurnal tides is much smaller. A one-dimensional barotropic model with ... -
Measuring, modelling, and grading the health of waterbodies
(Tata Energy Research Institute, India, 2003)The tourism-dominated watershed area in North Goa, India has a contiguous stretch of marine water bodies - the open sea between Sinquerim and Chapora; the three estuaries of rivers Chapora, Mandovi, and Nerul; and a small ... -
Seasonal and inter-annual variability of surface circulation in the Bay of Bengal from TOPEX/Poseidon altimetry
(Elsevier, 2003)Sea-surface height anomalies (SSHA) from TOPEX/Poseidon altimeter from January 1993 to December 1997 have been analyzed to document the seasonal, intra-seasonal and inter-annual variability of surface circulation in the ... -
Report on the "Bay of Bengal and Monsoon Experiment (BOBMEX) - NIO component" under the Indian Climate Research Program (ICRP) (DST project file No: ES/48/ICRP/001/99) submitted to Department of Science Technology, New Delhi
(National Institute of Oceanography, India, 2003)The objectives of the BOBMEX-Oceanography Component programme is to understand: (1) Variability of upper ocean currents in relation to changing wind and thermohaline forcings, (2) Upper ocean thermodynamic processes on ... -
