Mr. Darcy Takes the Plunge by J Marie Croft

The Gulf of Cambay, is a very dynamic coastal region situated on the western coast of India. It is an inlet of Arabian Sea. The strong tides, sediment laden currents and their interaction with the coastline of the Gulf of Cambay have been a matter of observations, not fully understood in terms of their causes and effects. The gulf comprises an area of high tides (upto 11 meters) and is characterized by domination of strong tidal currents. Satellite data, by virtue of its capability to provide information on temporal and spatial scales, enables understanding of the processes that operate in bringing about a variety of erosional and depositional landforms. The present study reveals that multi-temporal satellite data provide valuable, rapid and accurate methods for the study of coastal landforms and their dynamic changes. Saltwater intrusion in the study area is a serious problem that needs to be addressed qualitatively as well as quantitatively. The areal increase of salt farm activities has been calculated from multi-date satellite data in a GIS platform. The region has been divided into various zones depending on vulnerability to saltwater intrusion using a model.

J. Marie Croft, a Nova Scotia resident and avid reader all her life, discovered Jane Austen's works later than others but made up for lost time by devouring the six novels and as many adaptations and sequels as she could find. In her spare time, when not working at a music school or on a wooded trail enjoying her geocaching hobby, she listens to the voices in her head and captures their thoughts and words in writing. Her stories are lighthearted, and her motto is Miss Austen's own quote, Let other pens dwell on guilt and misery. She is a member of the Jane Austen Society of North America (Canada) and admits to being excessively attentive to the 1995 BBC version of Pride and Prejudice.
