Assessing the ecological preferences of agglutinated benthic foraminiferal morphogroups from the western Bay of Bengal
Saalim, S.M.; Saraswat, R.; Suokhrie, T.; Nigam, R. (2019)Agglutinated benthic foraminiferal morphogroups have often been used as a proxy in paleoecological studies. The response of various agglutinated morphogroups may, however, vary regionally. Here we report the ecological ... -
Assessing the environmental significance of benthic foraminiferal morpho-groups from the northern high latitudinal regions
Saraswat, R.; Roy, C.; Khare, N.; Saalim, S.M.; Kurtarkar, S.R. (Elsevier, 2018)The spatial distribution of benthic foraminiferal morpho-groups has been documented from the Kongsfjorden-Krossfjorden, to assess its environmental significance. Benthic foraminiferal abundance increases from the inner-most ... -
Benthic foraminiferal response to changes in mining pattern: a case study from the Zuari estuary, Goa, India
Saalim, S.M.; Saraswat, R.; Suokhrie, T.; Bhadra, S.R.; Kurtarkar, S.R.; Nigam, R. (Springer, 2017)Being sensitive to environmental changes, foraminifera have been extensively used to monitor pollution level in the marine environment, including the effect of mining in coastal areas. In the Goa state of India, the rejects ... -
Decoupling of carbon burial from productivity in the northeast Indian Ocean
Saraswat, R.; Fathima, R.; Salman, M.; Suokhrie, T.; Saalim, S.M. (Elsevier, 2024)The concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is a crucial climate parameter as it has far-reaching implications on global temperature. The oceans are a significant sink for CO2. Biologically mediated carbon ... -
Ecological preferences of living benthic foraminifera from the Mahanadi river-dominated north-western Bay of Bengal: A potential environmental impact assessment tool
Saalim, S.M.; Saraswat, R.; Nigam, R. (Elsevier, 2022)The ecological preferences of living benthic foraminifera from the riverine influx dominated eastern continental margin of India have been studied. The living benthic foraminifera were abundant on the upper slope (~100-700 ... -
Freeze-drying partially affects dead benthic foraminiferal shells in estuarine sediments
Saraswat, R.; Kurtarkar, S.R.; Saalim, S.M.; Bhadra, S.R.; Gawas, A.M. (Palaeontological Society of India, 2020)Foraminiferal proxies are often used to understand both pollution and past climatic changes. The freeze-drying is a viable alternative to commonly used method of oven-drying to process marine sediments for foraminiferal ... -
Indian monsoon variability in the last 2000 years as inferred from benthic foraminifera
Suokhrie, T.; Saalim, S.M.; Saraswat, R.; Nigam, R. (Elsevier, 2018)The effect of ambient conditions on living (Rose-Bengal stained) benthic foraminifera has been studied from the shelf and slope of the central-western Bay of Bengal to assess the applicability of temporal changes in benthic ... -
Large freshwater-influx-induced salinity gradient and diagenetic changes in the northern Indian Ocean dominate the stable oxygen isotopic variation in Globigerinoides ruber
Saraswat, R.; Suokhrie, T.; Naik, Dinesh K.; Singh, D.P.; Saalim, S.M.; Salman, M.; Kumar, Gavendra; Bhadra, S.R.; Mohtadi, M.; Kurtarkar, S.R.; Maurya, A.S. (Copernicus Publications, Gottingen, Germany, 2023)The application of stable oxygen isotopic ratio of surface-dwelling planktic foraminifera Globigerinoides ruber (white variety; ?18Oruber) to reconstruct past hydrological changes requires a precise understanding of the ...
