Upper ocean variability and tropical cyclones in the South West Indian Ocean
… ocean basins, tropical cyclones in the South West Indian Ocean also cause significant social and economic damage in southeastern Africa and Madagascar. To forecast TC intensity more accurately, monitoring upper ocean conditions in the South Indian Ocean is of top priority. Two areas in the …

An investigation into effective management structure for tuna resources in the West Indian Ocean
Tuna fisheries in the coastal states of the West Indian Ocean (WIO) have been at the centre of the social, economic and political development of the region. Their significance in creating employment, providing food, and generating revenue for the people in the region cannot be overemphasized. To be …

Circulation at the South-West Indian Ridge in a high-resolution global ocean model
This study explores the use of the 1/4° and the 1/12° Ocean Circulation and Climate Advanced Modelling (OCCAM) project. The model's representation of the dynamic nature of this region is assessed. On average 2 - 3 intense and well-defined eddies are generated per year within the model; having mean …

Tropical cyclones in the South-West Indian Ocean : intensity changes, oceanic interaction and impacts
… passage of tropical cyclones (TCs) in the South-West Indian Ocean (SWIO). A Climatology of TCs in the SWIO including landfall in the area of Mozambique and Madagascar was developed for the 1952-2007 and 1980-2007 periods.

Gross and Microscopic Observations on the Lingual Structure of the West Indian Manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris)
The West Indian manatee tongue was examined macroscopically, light microscopically, and electron microscopically (scanning and transmission). The tongue was slender, muscular, and firmly fixed in the oral cavity. Only the cranial tip was free and mobile. Numerous filiform papillae were distributed …

Simulating the Characteristics of Tropical Cyclones over the South-West Indian Ocean: Sensitivity to Model Horizontal Resolution
… natural hazards. Those that occur in the South-West Indian Ocean (SWIO) often strike vulnerable nations and can have serious socio-economic impacts, yet there is a dearth of information on how well these systems are simulated by contemporary climate models. This study investigates the …

Speciation and diversification of the beetle tribe Cratopini on the islands of the South West Indian Ocean area.
… Cratopini) that inhabit the islands of the South-Western Indian Ocean. As there are no previous molecular studies of these beetles, it was necessary to take a varied approach that employed both population genetic methods and phylogenetic methods to gain a broad understanding of the evolution of …

The upper ocean structure of the Antarctic circumpolar current in the vicinity of the South-West Indian ridge
A survey was undertaken in the southwest Indian sector of the Southern Ocean, at a fracture zone situated within the South-West Indian Ridge (SWIR). The fracture zone, formally called the Andrew Bain fracture zone (ABFZ), is centred at 50°S;30°E. The main focus of this investigation, which was …

Community composition, migration and trophic positions of micronekton in two biogeochemical provinces of the South West Indian Ocean
… out in two different bioregions of the South West Indian Ocean: the East African Coastal Province (EAFR) and the Indian South Subtropical Gyre (ISSG). Food web structure was addressed using stable isotopes. Since particulate organic matter had high δ 15 N values in the ISSG province, copepods …

The Role of Racial Socialization and Ethnocentrism in the Racial Identity Development of Second-Generation Black West Indian Americans
Scholars suggest Black West Indian Americans' ethnocentric attitudes toward Black Americans have notable effects on the racial socialization and identity of American-born West Indian children. This study explored the associations between racial socialization, ethnocentric attitudes, and racial …

Restoring the history of the subaltern: a corpus-informed study of ‘The History of Mary Prince, A West Indian Slave’
Drawing from Halliday’s (2004) account of Systemic Functional Grammar and Hoey’s (2005) theory of Lexical Priming the aim of this thesis is to propose a critical method of examining the language used by the subaltern to talk about their experiences. First, I discuss how the linguistic theories …

A survey of anticyclonic mesoscale eddies, within the Southern Ocean, and their propagation south from the South West Indian Ridge
… another within a larger body of water. The South West Indian Ridge [SWIR] is a topographically complex bathymetric feature which amplifies the production of mesoscale eddies in and around the Antarctic Circumpolar Current [ACC]. Within the Southern Ocean [SO], a section of this ridge - the Andrew …

Linking foraging behaviour of post-breeding adult female elephant seals from Marion Island to physical dynamics and productivity at the South-West Indian Ridge
Advances in remote sensing and tagging technology have made it possible to investigate the relationship between oceanographic dynamics and the distribution of certain marine species. For this study, surface chlorophyII-a concentration was used as a proxy for underlying related productivity, rather …
