Rapid pulses of uplift, subsidence, and subduction erosion offshore Central America: Implications for building the rock record of convergent margins
(Geological Society of America, 2013)
Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 334 to southern Costa Rica, Central America, documented unprecedented subduction erosion in an area of active seismic slip. Widespread subduction erosion of the upper ...
Impact of eutrophication on the occurrence of Trichodesmium in the Cochin backwaters, the largest estuary along the west coast of India
(Springer, 2013)
Phytoplankton studies in early 1970s have shown the annual dominance of diatoms and a seasonal abundance of Trichodesmium in the lower reaches of the Cochin backwaters (CBW) and adjacent coastal Arabian Sea during the ...
Changing climate and microbial resources in polar realms
(Learning in Geography, Humanities, Technology and Science (LIGHTS), 2011)
The current climate changes that we are experiencing is attributable to both natural and man made causes. Either way it would be pertinent to be able to assess the impact at various levels to help us prepare for the ...
Environmental isotopes to test hypotheses for fluid mud (mud bank) generation mechanisms along the southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2015)
Occurrence of fluid mud (mud banks) in the southwest coast of India is an enigma for the scientific community. Over the years, several multi-disciplinary studies were conducted and various hypotheses were postulated on the ...
Adaptive wave filtering for dynamic positioning of marine vessels using maximum likelihood identification: Theory and experiments
(International Federation of Automatic Control, 2013)
This paper addresses a filtering problem that arises in the design of dynamic positioning systems for ships and offshore rigs subjected to the influence of sea waves. The dynamic model of the vessel captures explicitly the ...
Characteristics of shallow water waves off the central west coast of India before, during and after the onset of the Indian summer monsoon
(Elsevier, 2015)
We studied the wave characteristics before, during and after the onset of the Indian summer monsoon based on data measured using the buoy moored at 3 locations off the central west coast of India. The study reveals the ...
Low-input Modified Extensive Shrimp Culture System for Penaeus monodon Restrian Vibriosis
(BioPublisher, 2013)
It was hypothesized that an outbreak of vibriosis can be restrained in ponds with a low stocking density (~5 post-larvae m<sup>-2</sup>) till harvest. Therefore, during a 135 day production cycle of Penaeus monodon at an ...
Statistical analysis on extreme wave height
(Springer, 2012)
The classical extreme value theory based on generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution and generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) is applied to the wave height estimate based on wave hindcast data covering a period of 31 ...
Studies on the reproductive biology of Indian Sand Whiting Sillago sihama (Forsskal)
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2010)
Sillago sihama have a prolonged breeding season from June to December, with spawning activity peaked during the period of September to November. Length at first maturity stage was found to vary between 155-164 mm (total ...
Study of ecological consequence of the bloom (Noctiluca miliaris) in off shore waters of the Northern Arabian Sea
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2012)
Ship based observations during early March 2007 in oceanic waters of the Northeastern Arabian Sea followed by phytoplankton analysis indicated that the bloom Noctiluca miliaris, species of dinoflagellate, dominated oceanic ...
