Response of sheltered and built-up coasts in the wake of natural hazards: The aftermath of the December 2004 Tsunami, Tamil Nadu, India
(Springer, 2016)
The geomorphology and the disposition of natural features and type of coast are major factors that control wave heights and govern consequent inundation distances. The connection between tsunami run-up heights and inundation ...
An appraisal of biological responses and network of environmental interactions in non-mining and mining impacted coastal waters
(Springer, 2015)
The coastal waters of Goa and Ratnagiri lying on the West coast of India are influenced by terrestrial influx. However, Goa is influenced anthropogenically by iron-ore mining, while Ratnagiri is influenced by deposition ...
