Abstract:

The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) is a coupled ocean-atmosphere phenomenon in the equatorial Indian Ocean, with a positive mode characterized by anomalous warming of sea surface temperatures in the west and anomalous cooling in the east. The IOD has been shown to affect inter-annual variability of the Indian monsoon. There is also evidence that the IOD may affect the formation, strength and duration of monsoon-related oceanic features in the North West Indian Ocean (NWIO), including fronts and eddies, the Somali upwelling and the ‘Great Whirl’ system. However, the mechanism by which the IOD develo

Abstract:

This thesis outlines and tackles the major outstanding issues of early Indian Ocean plate tectonic reconstructions using recent advancements in data and technology. The first chapter is focussed on the original extent of Greater India, using information from the abyssal plains offshore West Australia to incorporate tectonic boundaries that include several major submarine plateaus. In this chapter we also describe the methods employed to construct our plate kinematic models. The second chapter investigates the seafloor off East Antarctica, relating it to the conjugate seafloor off East India, w

This study investigates the emergence of Malaysia-India Maritime Security Cooperation (MIMSC) in response to traditional threats and non-traditional security threats at the Eastern Indian Ocean Region (EIOR). This thesis argues that although both Malaysia and India have identified the maritime significance of the EIOR to them, the common threat faced by them in that region, and have recognised the need for cooperation in maritime security, it appears at present that MIMSC in EIOR projects a lack of robustness in its engagement.

Abstract:

Tropical cyclones (TCs) are the most devastating weather phenomenon in nature with the powerful storm surge events occurring when severe and large TCs make landfall along coastlines. Although there have been significant strides in the TC track forecasts over the last 30 years, skills in TC intensity prediction still lag behind. Intensity may be impacted by the mixing length temperature (known as Tdy) and barrier layer thickness (BLT). Similar to cyclones in other tropical ocean basins, tropical cyclones in the South West Indian Ocean also cause significant social and economic damage in southea

Abstract:

Sea surface temperatures in the tropical Indian Ocean have been shown to be inversely related to South African summer rainfall, making advanced predictions of this rainfall practicable. Such predictability has enormous potential economic benefits. However, these predictions have been purely statistical; very little is currently known about the marine-atmospheric processes in the Indian Ocean tropics. To address this lack of information, the structure of the upper ocean and lower atmosphere as well as the surface heat fluxes in the tropical Indian Ocean have been investigated. This was done by

Abstract:

The predicted cycling of the whole ocean through hydrothermal plumes is comparable to the mixing time of the oceans (few thousand years). Hence, understanding hydrothermal plume processes is crucial if their impact on the global geochemical cycles of elements is to be assessed. One of the most important processes that has been demonstrated to modify the gross chemical flux from venting to the oceans is the oxidative precipitation of dissolved Fe (II). It has been hypothesised that this might vary significantly from one ocean basin to another along the path of thermohaline circulation. To test

This work examines SW Indian Ocean tropical cyclone (TC) structure as a function of movement using ECMWF gridded data. Analyses of the mean summer climate for the period 1987 1992 shown that conditions conducive to the development ofTCs are present between the latitudes 5° and 15°S. Six westward moving TCs are selected to form the westward moving composite TC and four are used in the recurving TC composite from 3-days before the maximum surface intensity to 1 day after. The westward moving composite was found to have a steady TC signature. Comparisons were made with TC Firinga which passed n

Abstract:

"This dissertation examines why the Indian Ocean is becoming, increasingly, the locus of nuclear weapons and platforms. It establishes a nexus between Realism, the desire of states to maximise their power, the role of nuclear weapons in that quest, Seapower, and the importance of the Indian Ocean to the US, China, Pakistan and India. It demonstrates that the Indian Ocean is becoming nuclearised because of the confluence of its growing strategic importance and that nexus."

Abstract:

This thesis aims to explain how British naval power was sustained in the Indian Ocean during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. To improve efficiency and economy, the Admiralty had to reorganise the management of shore support services, as well as to rationalise the bases available to the navy to meet the enemy it faced. The basic proposal of this thesis is that British naval power was projected overseas by the Admiralty's effective reconciliation of two competing demands, the naval demand for strategic deployment and the domestic demand for reform. The thesis argues that British na

Abstract:

[Truncated abstract] This work was the first large-scale biological oceanographic study to be undertaken in the coastal eastern Indian Ocean adjacent to Western Australia, and covered both northwest (Exmouth Peninsula to the Abrolhos Islands) and southwest (Cape Naturaliste to Cape Leeuwin) regions. The study area was dominated by the Leeuwin Current (LC), an anomalous eastern boundary current that transports tropical water poleward and prevents deep nutrients from reaching the surface by creating large-scale downwelling. Indeed, LC and offshore waters were consistently associated with low nit

Abstract:

Les foraminifères planctoniques vivants (LPF) contribuent à la pompe biologique du carbone océanique en générant des flux de Corg (cytoplasme) et de Cinorg (test calcaire). Dans cette étude, la morphométrie des tests, les abondances et les compositions spécifiques des assemblages de LPF dans l'océan Indien Sud (30°S-60°S, 50°E-80°E), ont été caractérisées à partir de la collecte par filet à plancton stratifié (Multinet) sur 19 stations échantillonnées pendant trois étés consécutifs (2012- 2014).
