Identifying the source of tar balls deposited along the beaches of Goa in 2013 and comparing with historical data collected along the west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2015)
Deposition of oil residues, also known as tar balls, is a seasonal phenomenon, and it occurs only in the southwest monsoon season along the west coast of India. This has become a serious environmental issue, as Goa is a ...
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 ...
Mineralogy and Sr–Nd isotopes of SPM and sediment from the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries: Influence of weathering and anthropogenic contribution
(Elsevier, 2015)
Clay minerals and Sr–Nd isotopes of suspended particulate matter (SPM) and bottom sediment were investigated along transect stations of the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries, western India to determine the provenance and role ...
Influence of 2015 flood on the distribution and occurrence of microplastic pellets along the Chennai coast, India
(Elsevier, 2016)
The sources, distribution, surface features, polymer composition and age of microplastic pellets (MPPs) in surface sediments along the Chennai coast during March 2015 (pre-Chennai flood) and November 2015 (post-Chennai ...
Decadal changes in shoreline patterns in Sundarbans, India
(Jounal of coastal sciences, 2015)
Sundarbans is one of the most populated and largest deltas in the world and is located at the mouth of three major rivers- Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna that empty into the Bay of Bengal along the east coast of India. The ...
Atmospheric fine and coarse mode aerosols at different environments of India and the Bay of Bengal during winter-2014: Implications of a coordinated campaign
(Metrology Society of India, 2014)
In this paper, we present mass concentrations of particulate matter [PM<sub>2.5</sub>, PM<sub>10</sub> size fractions and total suspended particulates (TSP)] measured simultaneously over land stations (Kullu, Patiala, ...
Variability in stratification and flushing times of the Gautami-Godavari estuary, India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2015)
In order to examine the influence of forcing (river flow and tides) and anthropogenic activities (dredging and dam regulation) on stratification, a study was conducted over a period of 19 months (June 2008– December 2009) ...
Backtrack modeling to locate the origin of tar balls depositing along the west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2016)
Tar ball (TB) deposition along the West Coast of India (WCI) is a common phenomenon during the southwest monsoon season, particularly along the coast of Goa and Gujarat, and it is a major concern to the stake holders. Our ...
Residual fluxes of water and nutrient transport through the main inlet of a tropical estuary, Cochin estuary, West Coast, India
(Springer, 2015)
25-hour time series measurements of vertical salinity profiles and currents in Zuari estuary were done during both spring and neap tidal cycles of pre-monsoon (April–May), south-west monsoon (June–September) and post-monsoon ...
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 ...
