Assessment of the land use/land cover (LU/LC) and mangrove changes along the Mandovi–Zuari Estuarine complex of Goa, India
(Springer, 2015)
Land use/land cover change dynamics along the estuarine complex of Mandovi–Zuari in the coastal state of Goa, India is studied by the application of multi-temporal remote sensing data. This tropical estuarine region has ...
Simulation of coastal winds along the central west coast of India using the MM5 mesoscale model
(Springer, 2010)
A high-resolution mesoscale numerical model (MM5) has been used to study the coastal atmospheric circulation of the central west coast of India, and Goa in particular. The model is employed with three nested domains. The ...
Sources, vertical fluxes and accumulation of petroleum hydrocarbons in sediments from the Mandovi Estuary, west coast of India
(University of Tehran, 2015)
The Mandovi estuary is highly influenced by mining and tourism related activities in the central west coast of India. Vertical fluxes and accumulation of petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) in three sediment cores (D1, C1 and ...
Response of Penaeid Prawns (Metapanaeus monoceros) to textile dye industrial effluents (TDIE): An indicator of stress
(OMICS Group, 2013)
Studies on acute toxicity of textile effluents, collected from various Textile Dye Industries from Erode industrial area, Tamil Nadu, have been carried out. The juveniles of pink prawns (Metapanaeus monoceros) were exposed ...
Spectral analysis of wind field in the Indian Ocean
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2014)
To study the variability in wind fields over the Indian Ocean, we used ERA INTERIM daily winds for the period 1979-2012 In order to analyse the temporal variation of wind field, we partitioned the whole Indian Ocean into ...
Barnacle larval transport in the Mandovi–Zuari estuarine system, central west coast of India
(Springer, 2013)
A two-dimensional hydrodynamic and particle tracking model was used to estimate the dispersion and retention of barnacle larvae from their possible spawning sites in a tropical monsoon-influenced estuarine system (central ...
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 ...
