Oil spill in Bombay high marine impacts
(National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, 1993)A rupture in a feeder 'riser' pipeline from Bombay High- North Platform (BHN) resulted in spilling of large quantities of crude oil into the sea on 17th May 1993 about 80 NM from the shoreline north of Bombay. This report ... -
Study of Sediment Transportation in the Gulf of Kachchh, using 3D Hydro-dynamic Model Simulation and Satellite Data
(2003)A 3D hydrodynamic model ‘COSMOS’ is applied to the Gulf of Kachchh to predict tidal variation, ocean currents, residual tidal current, sea surface temperature distribution etc. The model is based on the hydrostatic and ... -
Analysis of 3-dimensional Hydro-dynamical Model Simulation in the Gulf of Kutch, India and Its Comparison with Satellite Data
(Societe franco-japonaise d oceanographie, Tokyo, 2003)A 3-D COSMOS numerical model initially developed has been used in the Gulf of Kutch situated in the northwest of India, to study tidal variation, ocean current, residual current, and sea surface temperature distribution, ... -
Archeologie sous-marine de l'ancienne Dwarka dans l'Okhamandal
(Webzine Eurasie, 2006)Okhamandal, one of the most important religious centers is situated in Jamnagar district of Gujarat province on the west coast of India. The total landmass covers an area of 70 sq miles, which is marshy, bushy, and uneven ... -
Dissolved carbohydrate in the central Arabian Sea
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1987)Seawater samples (161), collected from 8 depths (0 to 1000 m) at 21 stations were analysed for total dissolved carbohydrate. Dissolved carbohydrate concentrations varied from 0.072 to 1.15 mg.l-1. Carbohydrate concentrations ... -
Molecular evidence of fungal signatures in the marine protist Corallochytrium limacisporum and its implications in the evolution of animals and fungi
(Elsevier, 2006)Fungi, animals and single-celled organisms belonging to the choanozoans together constitute the supergroup Opisthokonta. The latter are considered crucial in understanding the evolutionary origin of animals and fungi. ... -
Dynamics of large scale 3-dimensional circulation of the Indian Ocean
(2005)One of the main objective of this thesis is to adapt and configure a fully non-linear, primitive equation type, sigma co-ordinate 3-dimensional circulation model for the entire Indian Ocean area which can be run on diagnostic, ... -
Oceanic fronts along 45 degrees across Antarctic Circumpolar Current during austral summer 2004
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2005)A pilot expedition was launched to monitor the oceanic fronts in the southwestern sector of the Indian Ocean during January–February 2004. Major fronts along 45 degrees E between 40 and 56 degrees S were delineated and ... -
Tsunami of 26 December 2004
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2005)In the absence of earlier studies, an attempt is made to identify the vulnerable areas of the Indian coast for the damages due to Tsunami based on an earlier study reported in the context of sea level rise due to greenhouse ... -
Inundation, run-up heights, cross-section profiles and littoral environment along the Tamil Nadu coast after 26 th December 2004 Tsunami
(National Institute of Oceanography, Goa., 2005)On 26 December 2004 the coastal areas of different countries around the Indian Ocean including India were hit by a Tsunami that caused extensive fatalitites and damage to coastal property. On the initiative of Director, ... -
Restoration of deep-sea macrofauna after simulated benthic disturbance in the Central Indian Basin
(Taylor & Francis, 2005)Macrofaunal communities of the Central Indian Basin (CIB) were sampled with a spade before (June 1997), and immediately after (August 1997), and 44 months (April 2001) after a simulated benthic disturbance for polymetallic ... -
Recovery of deep-sea meiofauna after artificial disturbance in the Central Indian Basin
(Taylor & Francis, 2005)Colonization of deep-sea (5000–5500m depths) metazoan meiofaunal assemblage (in terms of abundance and community structure) was investigated in the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB), immediately after and also 44 months ... -
Underwater adhesion: The barnacle way
(Elsevier, 2007)Barnacle cement is an underwater adhesive insoluble protein complex. Marine proteins secreted by the invertebrates such as barnacles and mussels have potential application as powerful adhesives as they insolubilize and ... -
Studies on heavy metal accumulation in aquatic macrophytes from Sevan (Armenia) and Carambolim (India) lake systems
(Elsevier, 2006)Aquatic macrophytes are unchangeable biological filters and they carry out purification of the water bodies by accumulating dissolved metals and toxins in their tissue. In view of their potential to entrap several toxic ... -
Ecotoxicological effect of grounded MV River Princess on the intertidal benthic organisms off Goa
(Elsevier, 2006)The ecotoxicological effects of oil spill from the grounded vessel MV River Princess on the intertidal benthic organisms of Sinquerim–Candolim beach at Goa, India were investigated. An intertidal expanse of 1 km on either ... -
Some studies on wave refraction in relation to beach erosion along the Kerala coast
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, 1966)Using the British admirality bathymetric charts off the west coast of India and employing the graphical method of constructing wave refraction diagrams, an attempt is made to study behaviour of the short-period waves (4, ... -
Water quality assessment of Gautami-Godavari mangrove estuarine ecosystem of Andhra Pradesh, India during September 2001
