Physical Oceanography of the Gulf of Aden
(2008)
This thesis aims at the synthesis of various data sets (hydrography, sea levels, winds, and model outputs) to describe the circulation and water masses in the Gulf of Aden more precisely than before. The main objectives ...
Numerical modelling of tidal circulation and studies on salinity distribution in Mandovi and Zuari estuaries
(2008)
The objectives of the thesis were to determine the characteristics of tidal propagation and salinity distribution in the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries using a hybrid network numerical model. A hybrid network model, consisting ...
Marine-derived fungi as a source of proteases
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2008)
Microbial enzymes have continued to assist diverse reactions as biocatalysts. Marine derived microbes offer a prospective resource for such enzymes. In this study thirteen fungi were isolated from marine organisms (soft ...
Assessment of storm surge disaster potential for the Andaman Islands
(Coastal Education and Reserch Foundation, 2008)
The Andaman Sea is known for the genesis of many severe cyclones that traverse the Bay of Bengal. The Andaman Islands face the surge disaster threat as their north-south orientation comes across the eastward path of severe ...
Relationship between chemical composition and magnetic susceptibility in sediment cores from Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2008)
Three sediment cores in a north–south transect (3 degrees N to 13 degrees S) from different sediment types of the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) are studied to understand the possible relationship between magnetic ...
Nutrient regimes and their effect on distribution of phytoplankton in the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2008)
The seasonal dynamics of nutrient ratios and abundance of phytoplankton cells from the central (CB) and western (WB) Bay of Bengal (BOB) were studied during the fall intermonsoon (FIM; September-October 2002) and spring ...
Study of the role of microbes as source and sink of Dimethyl Sulphide in Dona Paula bay
(2008)
The present work examines the link between the distribution of DMS (P) to abiotic and biotic variables in the adjacent bay, at Dona Paula on a temporal scale both at short diurnal and long annual scales. The objective of ...
On the upwelling off the Southern Tip and along the west coast of India
(Coastal Education and Research Foundation, 2008)
The processes of upwelling off the southern tip (the Kanyakumari coast) and the west coast of India are highly localized features with different forcing mechanisms, and they cannot be treated as a uniform wind-driven ...
New sequential separation procedure for Sr, Nd and Pb isotope ratio measurement in geological material using MC-ICP-MS and TIMS
(The Geochemical Society of Japan, 2008)
A new 3-step sequential separation chemistry for Sr, Nd and Pb from silicate samples, which is suitable for isotope analysis by MC-ICP-MS as well as TIMS, has been developed. The chemistry is designed to minimize the number ...
Temporal variation of diatom benthic propagules in a monsoon-influenced tropical estuary
(Elsevier, 2008)
Temporal variations in the diatom benthic propagule (DBP) community and their role in the phytoplankton community in a monsoon-affected tropical estuary, Zuari estuary, Goa (India) are presented. The DBP from the sediments ...
