(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2014)
This study deals with locating the potential sites for offshore wind farms and also deals with feasibility of installing offshore wind farms through scientific examination of the requirements along the coast of India ...
Geospatial analysis of long-term morphological changes in Cochin estuary, SW coast of India
(Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation, 2014)
The Cochin estuary along the SW coast of India has undergone tremendous environmental changes due to continuous alterations. Geospatial information available since 1967 has been compiled to evaluate the long-term morphological ...
Depositional record of trace metals and degree of contamination in core sediments from the Mandovi estuarine mangrove ecosystem, west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2015)
The concentrations of seven trace metals (Fe, Mn, Cu, Cr, Co, Pb and Zn) in three sediment cores were analysed to assess the depositional trends of metals and their contamination level in the Mandovi estuary, west coast ...
Storm and tsunami induced sediment transport and morphology changes in vicinity of tidal inlets
(Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, 2014)
This study comprises of numerical modelling studies on the morphology changes in the vicinity of tidal inlets. Two real case scenarios comprising of a very severe cyclonic storm and the mega Indian Ocean tsunami were ...
Implications of sea level rise scenarios on land use /land cover classes of the coastal zones of Cochin, India..
(Elsevier, 2015)
Physical responses of the coastal zones in the vicinity of Cochin, India due to sea level rise are investigated based on analysis of inundation scenarios. Quantification of potential habitat loss was made by merging the ...
Bacterial bioluminescence response to long-term exposure to reverse osmosis treated effluents from dye industries
(NRC Research Press, 2014)
The bacterial bioluminescence assay is one of the novel means for toxicity detection. The bioluminescence response of 2 marine bioluminescent bacteria was tested upon their long-term exposure to 9 different reverse osmosis ...
Coastal sensitivity mapping of Gulf of Kachchh and Gulf of Cambay, India
(Hasanuddin University, Indonesia, 2013)
In this study, two major Gulf regions (Gulf of Kachchh, Gulf of Cambay) along the west coast of India have been selected for their coastal sensitivity. These two gulfs region have the highest number of ports in the country ...
What drives nearshore sediment transport controls on the depletion of beach placers at Manavalakurichi, Southwest Coast of India?.
(Taylor and Francis, 2014)
An in-depth analysis has been made to simulate hydrodynamic scenarios for understanding the nearshore sediment transport controls of placer mineral depletion at Manavalakurichi, India. From the analyses of topographic ...
Distribution and dynamics of mangrove forests of South Asia..
(Elsevier, 2015)
Mangrove forests in South Asia occur along the tidal sea edge of Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. These forests provide important ecosystem goods and services to the region's dense coastal populations and support ...
