Trajectory of an oil spill off Goa, eastern Arabian Sea: Field observations and simulations
(Elsevier, 2007)
An oil spill occurred off Goa, west coast of India, on 23 March 2005 due to collision of 2 vessels. In general, fair weather with weak winds prevails along the west coast of India during March. In that case, the spill would ...
Modelling tide-driven currents and residual eddies in the Gulf of Kachchh and their seasonal variability: A marine environmental planning perspective
(Elsevier, 2005)
Tide-driven currents in the Gulf of Kachchh (GoK) have been studied using MIKE21 hydrodynamic model. The results are validated with measured currents for three different periods characterized by different wind fields. ...
Dredging of sand from a creek adjacent to a sand-spit for reclamation: Its impact on spit stability and coastal zone
(Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, 2007)
A quantity of about 17 + 10 sup(6) m sup(3) sand had been dredged from the Jatadharmohan creek (JMC) 15 km south of Paradip Port (east coast of India) in 2000, and a quantity of 14 + 10 sup(6) m sup(3) sand will be dredged ...
Reevaluation of design waves off the western Indian coast considering climate change
(Marine Technology Society, 2016)
Knowledge of design waves with long return periods forms an essential input to many engineering applications, including structural design and analysis. Such extreme or long-term waves are conventionally evaluated using ...
Detection of decadal shoreline changes along Dhamara and Maipura coast, Odisha, India
(IAHR-AIRH, 2014)
Coastal erosion is one of the major problems of the coastal zone. The erosion is triggered by various reasons such as high wave energy, reduction of sediments, natural disasters and climate change etc. In the era of ...
Decadal shoreline assessment using remote sensing along the central Odisha coast, India
(Springer, 2015)
One of the major requirements of planning coastal protection works is to understand the processes of erosion, deposition, sediment transport, flooding and sea level changes which continuously alter the shoreline. Significant ...
Source investigation of the tar balls deposited along the Gujarat coast, India, using chemical fingerprinting and transport modeling techniques
(American Chemical Society, 2014)
Deposition of tar balls (TBs) along the south Gujarat coast, situated on the west coast of India (WCI), commonly occurs during the southwest monsoon season. Several offshore oil fields off the Mumbai-Gujarat coast, and ...
Aerosol optical thickness and spatial variability along coastal and offshore waters of the eastern Arabian Sea
(Oxford, 2011)
Data from the ocean-colour monitor (OCM) on board the Indian Remote Sensing Satellite P4 were used to analyse the spatial and temporal distribution of aerosol optical thickness (AOT) over the coastal and offshore waters ...
Physical processes in the Gulf of Kachchh: A review
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2010)
A brief review of various physical processes acting in the Gulf of Kachchh (GoK), which have prominent roles in Gulf dynamics, is presented in this article. The eddies present in the GoK confirm that they are permanent ...
Role of grounded ship 'MV River Princess' in triggering erosion: A case study from Candolim Sinquerim Coast, Goa.
(Centre for Earth Science Studies, 2010)
Multi-temporal satellite imageries of 1997, 2001 and 2006, wave model results and field observations were used to evaluate effect of the grounded vessel MV River Princess. Erosion was triggered along the Candolim-Sinquerim ...
