Monsoonal effects on beach and offshore sediments from kalbadevi bay, Ratnagiri, Maharashtra state, India.
(DAV publisher, 2014)
Sediment samples representing the beach and offshore area of Kalbadevi Bay, Ratnagiri, Maharashtra were studied for different seasons along three east-west beach profiles (BP-01, BP-02 and BP-03) which covered berm, dune, ...
A revisit to vityaz transform fault area, Central Indian Ridge: Isotopic evidence of probable hydrothermal activity.
(OMICS Publishing Group, 2014)
Boron and chlorine isotopes have been used as a proxy for tracing the presence of hydrothermal activity in the CIR area. Isotopic compositions of boron (delta<sup>11</sup>B) and chlorine (delta<sup>37</sup>Cl) measured ...
Bioaccumulation of heavy metals in commercially important marine fishes from Mumbai Harbor, India.
(Elsevier, 2014)
Seventeen commercially important marine fish species were caught in Mumbai Harbor using a trawl net and evaluated using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy and ICP-OES. It was found that certain species of fish contained lower ...
Interplay of diverse environmental settings and their influence on the plankton community off Myanmar during the spring intermonsoon.
(Elsevier, 2014)
The northern Andaman Sea including the Myanmar waters is one of the least studied regions of the northern Indian Ocean. The freshwater and suspended sediments carried by Ayeyawady/Irrawaddy, the peculiar surface circulation, ...
Distribution and abundance of mysid shrimps (Crustacea: Mysidacea) in the Northern Indian Ocean.
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)
The distribution and abundance of mysids were studied based on materials collected from the upper 1000 m of the Northern Indian Ocean (Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of India) during the period 2002–2006. A greater abundance ...
Studies on methanogenic consortia associated with mangrove sediments of Ennore.
(Triveni Enterprise, 2014)
In this study, methanogenic consortia were isolated and characterized from eight different sediment samples of mangrove ecosystem located in Ennore, Chennai. Out of eight samples, two consortia (SpR6 and SSS8) were consistent ...
Macrobenthic community structure of coastal Arabian Sea during the fall intermonsoon

In the Arabian Sea, organic matter produced during the upwelling period reaches the seafloor by the end of the monsoon and during the fall intermonsoon period (FIM) Studies on the benthic community is lacking during this ...
Seasonal variability of beach characteristics between Candoliam and Colva coast, Goa, India.
(Centre for Geotechnology, MSU, 2014)
The aim of the present study was to investigate the seasonal impact on beach dynamics and the status of heavy mineral distribution along the study area. Beach profile measurements were made in 7 profiling sites between ...
Changing environmental conditions in recent past — Reading through the study of geochemical characteristics, magnetic parameters and sedimentation rate of mudflats, central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2014)
Geochemical (sediment components, major and trace metals), magnetic related parameters (concentration, mineralogy and grain size) and radionuclide (<sup>210</sup>Pb) analyses were carried out on sediment cores collected ...
