Simultaneous detoxification and decolorization of molasses spent wash by the immobilized white-rot fungus Flavodon flavus isolated from a marine habitat
(Elsevier, 2004)The wastewaters of molasses-based alcohol distilleries contain brown colored melanoidin pigments that are one of the major pollutants. We reported decolorization of such intensely brown colored molasses spent wash (MSW) ... -
Buried in time: Culturable fungi in a deep-sea sediment core from the Chagos Trench, Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2004)The recovery of culturable microorganisms from ancient materials, ranging from a few thousand to several million years old, has generated interest in the long-term survival capabilities of micrororganisms. We report the ... -
Sea level changes along the Indian coast: Observations and projections
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2006)Sea level changes can be of two types: (i) changes in the mean sea level and (ii) changes in the extreme sea level. The former is a global phenomenon while the latter is a regional phenomenon. Estimates of mean sea level ... -
Ocean wave forecasting using recurrent neural networks
(Elsevier, 2006)The tremendous increase in offshore operational activities demands improved waveforecasting techniques. With the knowledge of accurate wave conditions, it is possible to carry out the marine activities such as offshore ... -

(International Maritime Organization, 2003)This report describes the BWRA activity undertaken for the neighbouring ports of Mumbai and Jawaharlal Nehru, which form the Mumbai Demonstration Site and are managed by the Mumbai Port Trust (MPT) and Jawaharlal Nehru ... -
Development and implementation of cellular-based real-time reporting and internet accessible coastal sea-level gauge - A vital tool for monitoring storm surge and tsunami
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2006)We describe the development and implementation of real-time reporting and Internet-accessible coastal sealevel gauge, wherein data communication between the gauge and an Internet server has been established through a ... -
Fine-scale analysis of shelf -slope physiography across the western continental margin of India
(Springer-Verlag, 2006)We attempt here to quantify and model physiographic phenomena off the central west coast of India in terms of power spectral exponent, amplitude parameter. The statistical analysis of the multibeam echosounder grid bathymetry ... -
Post-tsunami oceanographic conditions in southern Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2006)Physical oceanographic conditions along the east and west coasts of India immediately after the recent devastating tsunami are presented here. The thermocline in the southeast coast exhibited trivial downward tilt towards ... -
Histological observations on the scleractinian coral Porites lutea affected by pink-line syndrome
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2006)A pink-line syndrome (PLS) was reported in the reef building coral Porites lutea in Kavaratti island of the Lakshadweep archipelago. The affected corals had dead patches colonized by a cyanobacterium Phormidium valderianum ... -
Marine and estuarine methylotrophs: Their abundance, activity and identity
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2006)Methanotrophs were up to 1 and 0.65% of the total counts in estuarine waters and offshore sediments respectively. Experimental tests on methanol utilization showed that the estuarine isolates grew best at 4% methanol whereas ... -
Exploring marine life
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2006)Sea abounds in a variety of plant and animal life. Census of Marine Life (CoML), a global program aims to understand the diversity, geographic distribution and abundance of marine species from pole to pole covering estuarine, ... -
Programs to obtain vertical heights from mean sea level and for computing volume of sand/mineral along beaches:A case study with Kalbadevi beach profiling data and results.
(National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, 2006)Two programs have been developed to process beach profile data, for obtaining vertical heights with respect to mean sea level (M.S.L.) and for computation of volume of heavy mineral/sand accumulation or erosion along the ... -
