Geochemical characterization of the Krishna–Godavari and Mahanadi offshore basin (Bay of Bengal) sediments: A comparative study of provenance
(Elsevier, 2015)
The Krishna–Godavari and Mahanadi rivers drain the east coast of India and deposit the sediment load into the Krishna–Godavari and Mahanadi offshore basins along the western margin of the Bay of Bengal. Here we report the ...
Optical closure of apparent optical properties in coastal waters off Goa
(Indian Society of Remote Sensing, 2015)
Inherent and apparent optical properties were measured for coastal waters off Goa, a site on the west coast of India using the in-situ measuring profiling optical instruments. The optical closure was obtained using the ...
Wave energy resource assessment for the Indian shelf seas
(Elsevier, 2015)
As a renewable energy, the assessment of wave power potential around a country is crucial. Knowledge of the temporal and spatial variations of wave energy is required for locating a wave power plant. This study investigates ...
Mineral chemistry and alteration characteristics of spinel in serpentinised peridotites from the northern central Indian Ridge
(Geological Society of India, 2015)
Serpentinites (frequently cross cut by gabbroic dikelet), collected from Northern Central Indian Ridge (NCIR), Indian Ocean, contain both Cr-rich (Group I) and Cr-poor (Group II) variety of spinel. Based on mineralogy they ...
Trends of wave height and period in the Central Arabian Sea from 1996 to 2012: A study based on satellite altimeter data
(Elsevier, 2015)
The variability of annual maximum and annual mean significant wave height (SWH) and wave period in the Central Arabian Sea is studied using satellite altimeter data from 1996 to 2012 at a deep water (water depth~3500 m) ...
Spatial distribution of sound channel and its parameters in north Indian ocean
(David Publishing, 2015)
The Present work reports the variability of the derived sound channel and its parameters (surface sound velocity, conjugate depth, SLD (Sonic Layer depth) and SOFAR(Sound Fixing and Ranging) depth) has been presented over ...
Climate Induced Vegetational Evolution: Palynological and Thecamoebian Study from Coastal Archaeological Sites, Saurashtra
(Agam Kala Prakashan, New Delhi, 2015)
Coastal archaeological sites serve as potential archive of past climate-culture and vegetation relationship responding to relative sea level changes. Most of the Harappan dwellers along the coastal region largely depended ...
Biogeochemistry of iron in the Arabian sea
(Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, 2015)
The Arabian Sea is a productive basin where seasonal upwelling and convective mixing result in high surface nutrient concentrations and widespread algal blooms. The factors controlling primary productivity in the Arabian ...
Asymmetric cell division and its role in cell fate determination in the green alga Tetraselmis indica
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2015)
The prasinophytes (early diverging Chlorophyta), consisting of simple unicellular green algae, occupy a critical position at the base of the green algal tree of life, with some of its representatives viewed as the cell ...
Time series monitoring of water quality and microalgal diversity in a tropical bay under intense anthropogenic interference (SW coast of the Bay of Bengal, India)
(Elsevier, 2015)
In recent decades, material fluxes to coastal waters from various land based anthropogenic activities have signifi- cantly been enhanced around the globe which can considerably impact the coastal water quality and ecosystem ...
