Oceanographic validity of buffer zones for the east coast of India: A hydrometeorological perspective
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2004)Relentless hydrometeorological events are the major natural hazards that have afflicted the inhabitants of the east coast. Storm surges have attained a height of 12 m, and provoked sea water invasion 35 km inland. Loss of ... -
Record decrease of sea surface temperature following the passage of a super cyclone over the Bay of Bengal
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2004)A super cyclone with a central pressure of 912 hPa which was the lowest sofar in any tropical cyclone in Bay of Bengal, hit Paradeep coast on 29th October, 1999. The system was stationary for 30 hours after landfall and a ... -
Kyoto protocol and the deep seabed regime of UNCLOS III
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2004)The 2 December 2003 refusal by Russia to ratify the 1997 Kyoto Protocol and a similar stand adopted by the U.S since March 2001 compares with the non-ratification of UNCLOS III (Third United Nations Convention on the Law ... -
A unique late bronze age copper fish-hook from Bet Dwarka Island, Gujarat, west coast of India: Evidence on the advance fishing technology in ancient India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2004)An onshore excavation was undertaken in Bet Dwarka Island, Gujarat, India to obtain the cultural sequence and to understand the man-sea relationship. A large number of pottery items, beads of stone, shell and terracotta ... -
Falling standards of research in India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2004)Some points related to falling standards of research in India are discussed. The necessity for scientists to compete by publishing in international journals of high I. F.s (Impact Factor) is stressed. India lacks pioneers ... -
Mid-oceanic ridges - Guest editorial

Pattern of species succession of soft-bottom macrofauna in the estuaries of Goa, west coast of India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2003)Multivariate techniques, chord normalized expected species shared (CNESS) and principal component analyses of hypergeometric probability of species matrices (PCA-H) were applied to soft-bottom macrofauna data of Goa ... -
Aminostratigraphy of sediments of the SW Bay or Bengal
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2003)Amino acid enantiomeric (D/L) ratio is a stratigraphic tool of Recent sediments. The method which came into being 35 years ago1, is not a precise dating tool like, for example, the radiocarbon method, as the extent of ... -
Macrobenthic abundance in the vicinity of spreading ridge environment in Central Indian Ocean
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2003)Macrofaunal communities of the Central Indian Ocean were evaluated for their composition, distribution, abundance and biomass. The fauna comprised of 24 major groups belonging to 15 phyla. The density of macrofauna varied ... -
Metallogenesis along the Indian Ocean Ridge System
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2003)Twenty years after the discovery of the sea-floor hot springs, vast stretches of the global mid-ocean ridge system still remain unexplored for locating hydrothermal vents. In comparison to the mid-oceanic ridge systems of ... -
Boron and chlorine isotopic signatures of seawater in the Central Indian Ridge
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2003)Isotopic ratios of boron and chlorine were measured in the upper 2000 m water column of the Central Indian Ridge from two tectonically active areas, one at 5°S and other at 10°S which coincided with the spreading regime ... -
Application of artificial neural networks to segmentation and classification of topographic profiles of ridge-flank seafloor
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2003)In this paper, we have utilized Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) for seafloor topographic data segmentation and roughness classification using the multibeam- Hydrosweep system (installed onboard ocean research vessel Sagar ... -
Genetic aspects of basalts from the Carlsberg Ridge
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2003)The origin of the basaltic rocks with heterogeneous composition from the Carlsberg Ridge (CR) is of interest for more than one reason. In comparison to other Mid-Oceanic Ridge (MOR) systems sufficient data on petrochemical ... -
The Northern Central Indian Ridge: Geology and tectonics of fracture zones-dominated spreading ridge segments
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2003)Multi-beam and single-beam bathymetric, gravity and magnetic data, across seven ridge segments (length varying between 37 and 84 km), offset by six transform discontinuities (ranging in dislocation length between 48 and ... -
Mid-ocean ridges, InRidge and the future
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2003)In this article, we chronicle the events that lead to the creation of a global scientific network for midoceanic ridge research, identify areas where Indian researchers could participate and built a case to support and ... -
Structure, tectonic and petrology of mid-oceanic ridges and the Indian scenario
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2003)We examine and synthesize the existing information about the structure, tectonic and petrology of the 70,000 km long mid-oceanic ridges and focus on similar studies made of the Carlsberg–Central Indian Ridges. The potential ... -
IMD's model for forecasting monsoon in India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2003)A few comments are presented on IMD's model for forecasting mean seasonal rainfall for India in the context of its failure during 2002. From published data it is pointed out that seasonal (summer) rainfalls are normally ... -
Dominance of dinoflagellates in micro-zooplankton community in the oceanic regions of the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2003)Studies on microzooplankton, phytoplankton biomass (chlorophyll a) and production were conducted at five oceanic stations in the Bay of Bengal and Andaman sea onboard FORV Sagar Sampada during intermonsoon (March 2001). ... -
The odds of a seismic source near Dwarka, NW Gujarat: An evaluation based on proxies
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2003)The Kachchh–Saurashtra region is part of an old rift basin, featuring a number of linear structures, some of them holding potential for occasional M > 7 earthquakes. A challenging question is to identify probable sources ... -
Marine biodiversity and ecosystem functioning: A perspective
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2003)Biodiversity and community structure are now recognized to be important determinants of ecosystem functioning. In this regard the marine ecosystem has been studied to a much lesser extent compared to the terrestrial. This ...
