Simulation of Trajectories of Tar Ball Transport to the Goa Coast
(Springer, 2013)
Arrival of tar balls to the Goa coast during pre- and southwest monsoon seasons has been a regular phenomenon in the past few years. In one such event, we observed tar ball deposits along the Goa coast during August 2010, ...
Coastal vulnerability assessment of Puducherry coast, India, using the analytical hierarchical process
(European Geosciences Union, 2013)
As a consequence of change in global climate, an increased frequency of natural hazards such as storm surges, tsunamis and cyclones, is predicted to have dramatic affects on the coastal communities and ecosystems by virtue ...
Co-existence of wind seas and swells along the west coast of India during non-monsoon season
(European Geosciences Union, 2013)
An attempt has been made to understand the co-existence of wind seas and swells along the west coast of India during non-monsoon season. Wave data were collected in different years during non-monsoon season (off Goa during ...
Wave transformation and attenuation along the west coast of India: Measurements and numerical simulations
(World Scientific Publishing, 2013)
Waves measured at a few locations along the west coast of India were analyzed to study modification and attenuation of wave energy in the nearshore regions. It has been found that the reduction in wave height is relatively ...
Coastal sensitivity mapping of Gulf of Kachchh and Gulf of Cambay, India
(Hasanuddin University, Indonesia, 2013)
In this study, two major Gulf regions (Gulf of Kachchh, Gulf of Cambay) along the west coast of India have been selected for their coastal sensitivity. These two gulfs region have the highest number of ports in the country ...
Sea level trend and variability in the Singapore Strait
(European Geosciences Union, 2013)
Sea level in the Singapore Strait (SS) exhibits response to various scale phenomena, from local to global. Longest tide gauge records in SS are analysed to derive local sea level trend and annual, inter-annual and multi-decadal ...
Recent studies on wind seas and swells in the Indian Ocean: A review
(SAGE Publications, 2013)
Winds and waves measured at a few locations along the west coast of India were analysed to study the wave characteristics in the deep as well as near shore regions during different seasons The potential generation of swells ...
Coastal erosion triggered by a shipwreck along the coast of Goa, India
(Current Science Association, 2013)
Temporal satellite imageries (1999, 2001, 2003, 2006, 2008 and 2011), wave model (DHI) results and field measurements have been used to evaluate whether the grounded ship MV River Princess played a role in triggering erosion ...
Storm surges in the Singapore Strait due to winds in the South China Sea
(Springer, 2013)
Among the semi-enclosed basins of the world ocean, the South China Sea (SCS) is unique in its configuration as it lies under the main southwest-northeast pathway of the seasonal monsoons. The northeast (NE) monsoon ...
Identification of sources of tar balls deposited along the Goa coast, India, using fingerprinting techniques
(Elsevier, 2013)
Deposition of tar balls along the coast of Goa, India is a common phenomenon during the southwest monsoon. Representative tar ball samples collected from various beaches of Goa and one Bombay High (BH) crude oil sample ...
