Eddy diffusion coefficients in the coastal waters of north Andhra Pradesh and Orissa
(AP Akademi of Sciences, India, 2003)Marine Environmental Impact Assessment (MEIA) studies help planning setting up of new industries along the coast. In dispersion studies under MEIA, eddy diffusion coefficients are used to understand the mixing of pollutants ... -
Pollution of some recreation beaches of Mumbai, Maharashtra
(Indian Association of Environment Management, 2003)Pollution in terms of water and sediment qualities of Madh. Juhu, Dadar and Girgaon recreation beaches was studied. Water quality in respect of low pH (7.8-8.3), low salinity (15.1-34.5 ppl), high microbial population ... -
Fluxes of nitrogen in Chaliyar River Estuary, India
(International Scientific Publications, 2005)The Chaliyar river estuary is a positive coastal plain estuary with total drainage area of 2923 km2. We investigated the estuary's functions as sink and transformer of nutrients (uptake and release, retaining and recycling ... -
Influence of temperature on the starvation threshold of nauplii of barnacle Balanus amphitrite (Cirripedia: Thoracica)
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2000)An evaluation of starvation threshold of the newly hatched Balanus amphitrite nauplii (instar, II) has been made at three different temperatures (5, 15 and 25°C). Earlier studies on starvation in crustacean larvae demonstrated ... -
Marine boundary layer characteristics during a cyclonic storm over the Bay of Bengal
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2006)During the period 12–16 June 1996 a tropical cyclonic storm formed over the southwest Bay of Bengal and moved in a north–northeasterly direction. The thermodynamic characteristics of this system are investigated by utilizing ... -
Study of Goa and its environment from space: A report on coastal sand dune ecosystems of Goa: Siginficance, uses and anthropogenic impacts
(National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, 1998)Until the 1970's, the coastal zone of Goa was largely pristine. However, the advent of tourism and the resultant construction boom along the coastline have induced large scale changes in the geological and ecological set ... -
The coastal regulation zone of Goa: Oceanographic, environmental and societal perspectives
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 1999)Current developmental trends along the coast of Goa, India offer an opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) legislation. The mandatory 'No Development Zones' in proximity to, and as ... -
Variation of wave directional spread parameters along the Indian coast
(Elsevier, 2006)Directional spreading of wave energy is popularly modeled with the help of the Cosine Power model and it mainly depends on the spreading parameter. This paper describes the variation of the spreading parameter estimated ... -
Marine pollution detection through biomarkers in marine bivalves
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2006)Indian coastal waters are subjected to considerable pressure from sewage and industrial wastes, which are responsible for the contamination of the waters with consequent loss in biodiversity. Monitoring methods adopted so ... -
Role of physical processes in the distribution of chlorophyll a in the northwest Bay of Bengal during pre and post-monsoon seasons

An analysis of the events of 26 December 2004 to plan for the future
(National Institute of Advanced Studies, 2006)An analysis of the data collected on 26 December, 2004, should help us understand the series of events that followed the great earthquake that occurred on that day. One of the most important amongst these data is the sea ... -
Insights from stable S and O isotopes into biogeochemical processes and genesis of Lower Cambrian barite–pyrite concretions of South China
(Elsevier, 2006)Pyrite bearing barite concretions are abundant in black shales of the Early Cambrian Niutitang formation in China. Their occurrence is connected with low sedimentation rates. Sulphur and oxygen isotopic compositions of ... -
Sulfur and strontium isotopic compositions of carbonate and evaporite rocks from the late Neoproterozoic–early Cambrian Bilara Group (Nagaur-Ganganagar Basin, India): Constraints on intrabasinal correlation and global sulfur cycle
(Elsevier, 2006)Sulfur and strontium isotope ratios are presented for carbonate and evaporite rocks from the late Neoproterozoic and early Cambrian Bilara and Hanseran Evaporite Groups, NW India. The sulfur isotopic compositions of trace ... -
Seaweed: Promising plant of the millennium
(Indian Science News Association, 2005)Seaweeds, one of the important marine living resources could be termed as the futuristically promising plants. These plants have been a source of food, feed and medicine in the orient as well as in the west, since ancient ... -
Intermittent swarming of copepods in Versova mangrove, Mumbai
(ENVIS Centre, 2003)Some zooplankton taxa like copepods, ostracods, ctenophores and medusae exhibit dense aggregations in a wide range of marine environment. Copepods have been frequently reported to occur in swarms from coral and mangrove ... -
