Studies on the environmental distribution of radionuclides, namely 226 Ra and 228 Ra are important in the context of external and ingestion hazards evaluation. The Cochin backwater, located in the south-west coast of India is a potential sink for anthropogenic inputs of natural radionuclides. The estuary in its surroundings is located downstream of industrial complexes.
Arabian Sea cyclones increasing in number, intensity the Arabian Sea, which has warmed by 0.5o C over the past nine decades, is experiencing a shift in its climate. So much so that intense cyclones with wind speed of more than 100 km per hour have become frequent, said a team of marine scientists led by the National Institute of Oceanography (nio), Goa. The scientists analyzed 37
In this study, we have used multi-satellite data to retrieve aerosol loadings and carbon monoxide (CO) pollution over the Arabian Sea, caused due to anthropogenic activities over the Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP) in India. Relatively high aerosol and CO loadings during 9
New Delhi: The development of a mild cyclonic circulation off the Konkan coast in the Arabian Sea on Tuesday has been giving rise to hopes that the monsoon, which has been subdued for more than two weeks now, was firmly finding strength and was on course for a revival by the end of this week.
Das et al.1 have studied clay mineralogy, terrigenous and biogenic components of the sediment core collected from the Ocean Drilling Programme site 728A, northwestern continental margin of the Arabian Sea, off Oman.
The response of the Arabian Sea to global warming is the disruption in the natural decadal cycle in the sea surface temperature (SST) after 1995, followed by a secular warming. The Arabian Sea is experiencing a regional climate-shift after 1995, which is accompanied by a five fold increase in the occurrence of
A group of 36 coral islands is being scattered in the Arabian Sea off the western coast of India. On such islands, groundwater is the only source of fresh water for the islanders. The demand for groundwater is increasing every year due to growing population and urbanization. On the other side the peculiar hydrologic, geologic and geomorphic features restrict the availability of groundwater.
