Detection of pollutants in marine organisms and in the environment as markers of environmental quality
(Pennsilvania Academy of Science, 2005)
This chapter presents an overview of various techniques of detection of different types of pollutants such as organochlorine pesticides (e.g. DDT, HCHs, aldrin, dieldrin, endrin, Hepox, heptaclor), polychlorinated biphenyls ...
Hindcasting of storm waves using neural networks
(Elsevier, 2005)
Cyclone generated waves play a significant role in the design of coastal and offshore structures. Instead of conventional numerical models, neural network approach is used in the present study to estimate the wave parameters ...
Observations of post tsunami reconnaissance investigations along eastern coastal tract of India following the devastating tsunami of 26th December 2004
(National Inst. of Oceanography, 2005)
Many coastal regions of India were affected by the tsunami caused by a magnitude 9 earthquake off Sumatra on 26th December 2004. This report presents the observations of post-tsunami reconnaissance survey conducted by the ...
Detection of Trichodesmium bloom patches along the eastern Arabian Sea by IRS-P4/OCM ocean color sensor and by in-situ measurements
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2005)
The detection of blooms of the marine cyanobacterium Trichodesmium from space has been studied using high resolution ocean color imagery in the visible wavebands of the OCM monitor (Ocean Color Monitor) on the IRS-P4 ...
Design and performance evaluation of a hall effect magnetic compass for oceanographic and meteorological applications
(Allied, India, 2005)
A Hall Effect magnetic compass, suitable for oceanographic and meteorological applications, has been designed and its performance characteristics have been evaluated. Slope of the least-squares-fitted linear graph was found ...
Partitioning and speciation of trace metal diagenesis in differing depositional environments in the sediments of the Oman margin
(Springer, 2005)
Organic-rich sediment samples collected from a transect within, and below, the Oman Margin oxygen minimum zone (OMZ)were analysed using a sequential leaching technique to characterise the diagenetic behaviour and speciation ...
Marine environmental intimidation to Sundarbans embankments
(Sundarban Affiars Department, WB, 2005)
Protection of Sundarbans (West Bengal, India) embankments is an enormous task. There are many external forces that are responsible to destabilize the embankment. River flows with tides is responsible as one of the major ...
Distribution and origin of seamounts in the central Indian Ocean Basin
(Taylor and Francis, 2005)
Approximately 200 seamounts of different dimensions have been identified, from multibeam bathymetry maps of the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) (9 degrees S to 16 degrees S and 72 degrees E to 80 degrees E), of which 61% ...
Biofilm diatom community structure: Influence of temporal and substratum variability
(Taylor and Francis, 2005)
Diatoms, which are early autotrophic colonisers, are an important constituent of the biofouling community in the marine environment. The effects of substratum and temporal variations on the fouling diatom community structure ...
Ancient Dwarka: Study based on recent underwater archaeological investigations
(2005)
Dwarka, one of the best-studied underwater sites in India, has commanded much attraction, also because the site is considered as one of the sour Dhamas (sacred place for pilgrimage) of the Hindu religion. According to ...
