to create and train some of the best of tomorrow's

leaders in ocean science. In fact, SOON is established with a view to maximize the

number of qualified researchers and professionals of impeccable quality to innovate

and conduct seamless interdisciplinary research. We believe that competence is not

only linked to the intrinsic knowledge-base, but also on how flawlessly the

understanding could be translated into action and product.

Preface

The School of Oceanography in NIO (SOON) represents the Goa campus of

Academy of Scientific and Innovative research (AcSIR), a national University par

excellence. The AcSIR was established by the Act of Parliament, the Academy of

Scientific Innovative Research Act, 2011 vide The Gazette of India No. 15 dated

February 7, 2012 and notified on April 3, 2012. The SOON-AcSIR is authorized to

award doctoral degrees in Ocean Science through intense classroom coursework,

onboard ship expeditions and nurturing talents in a passionate research and academic

environment.

At the start of the third year of SOON, we undertook a mid-course assessment to

make few modifications while keeping the essential philosophy unchanged. Among

the modifications made are -- (a) admission to SOON, henceforth, will be granted

only once-a-year in August, (b) the total credit for entire courses is now reduced from

30 to 22 making it student-friendly, (c) to start a specially designed course especially

on Statistics, and (d) that the student can now to pursue courses of more than

stipulated 22 credits by taking additional optional subjects of her/his choice in a bid

to learn more. Moreover, the students will effectively be able to start to interact with

their respective research supervisors for doctoral work almost immediately after the

first semester. The overall idea is to create an ambience for learning in advanced

ocean science and technology instead of exclusively focusing on marks or grades.

I wish the students all the best for an invigorating engagement with an exciting

endeavour in exploring the oceans.

MISSION“To provide scientific industrial R&D that maximises the economic, environmental and societal benefits for the people of India.”

The Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR)

the premier industrial R&D organization in India was

constituted in 1942 by a resolution of the then

Central Legislative Assembly. It is an autonomous

body registered under the Registration of Societies

Act of 1860 whose President is the Prime Minister of

India.

Today CSIR is amongst the foremost scientific and

industrial research organization in the world. It has

helped India usher in a scientific milieu, creating &

nurturing talent in science, innovation & technology.

Competence is essentially linked to the intrinsic

knowledge-base of the organization on which it can

base its growth. In the field of IPR, CSIR's track record

is enviable given its rather recent entry into the area of the 229 US patents granted in 2004-05 to

Indian inventors (excluding foreign assignees), CSIR has 140 (61.1 %). Even if one considers

Indian inventors including foreign assignees, CSIR's share is still 28.3%.

The unique mix of multi- disciplinary expertise, sound technical knowledge and talent for

innovation that characterizes CSIR has enabled it to emerge as a global player, CSIR's footprint

covers sectors as diverse as Aerospace, Biotechnology, Chemicals, Drugs & Pharmaceuticals,

Energy, Food & Food Processing, Information Dissemination, Leather and Metal, Minerals &

Manufacturing.

Science is no longer insulated from market demands and no longer do scientists remain

confined to ivory towers engaged in esoteric pursuits. Instead, the world's scientific talents are

joining hands to establish alliances that would help create a universal knowledge pool. The

winds of change have touched CSIR too and it has reached out to launch private-public

–partnerships and business agreements that would grant strategic advantage.

CSIR is a client-oriented, performance-driven and accountable organization actively involved in

generation of knowledge and technologies, development of product or process and also its

transition to the marketplace. With its extensive resource base, core competence that cuts

across the entire spectrum of science, innovative and skilled manpower, cost-effective

solutions, and adherence to strict time frames, CSIR has always exceeded the demands made

on it.

Course description: This course will explore the variety of mechanism (physical, chemical, and biological) through which sediment is contributed, produced, and redistributed from its source regions to ultimate sink in the oceans. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the relative importance of these processes and how they have varied through time. A range of sedimentary environments will be examined — from shallow coastal settings (beaches, marshes, tidal flats, estuaries, and deltas) to deeper portions of the continental margin (shelf, slope, and rise). Role of sedimentation processes in global biogeochemical cycles will be emphasized. Post depostional changes and application of trace element geochemistry and isotope techniques to important problems in sedimentary processes will be discussed.

PHY(NIO)-3-562 Geophysical Fluid Dynamics (L-T-P-C: 2-0-2-3)

Course description: This course is compulsory for students aiming to specialise in physical oceanography or coastal engineering. It aims to introduce them to the fundamentals of Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, with the emphasis being on the large-scale, wind-forced circulation of the North Indian Ocean. In order to present a unified view of the dynamics, whether mid-latitude off-equatorial) or equatorial or coastal, the course will use the linear, continuously stratified (LCS) model as the primary mathematical tool. The course will consist of theory lectures, which will focus on the analytic theory underlying the processes, and practicals, in which students will learn to use the LCS model. The practicals will, in addition, include animations of the process solutions in the LCS model framework to present the students with a visual feel for the analytic theory.

The practicals will, in addition, include animations of the process solutions in the LCS model framework to present the students with a visual feel for the analytic theory.
