Flood estimation at ungauged catchments of western catchments of Karnataka, West coast of India
(2019)
Many catchments in India are devoid of gauging stations. In the absence of measurements of stream flow, regional rainfall-runoff relationships developed over a hydro-meteorologically similar region may be used to estimate ...
Optimization of the taxonomic resolution of an indicator taxon for cost-effective ecological monitoring: Perspectives from a heterogeneous tropical coastline
(2019)
An important requirement towards formulating appropriate management and conservation measures for biological diversity is to devise efficient and cost-effective monitoring protocols that yield coherent data. Environmental ...
Interactions of sulfur and methane-oxidizing bacteria in tropical estuarine sediments
(2019)
The bacterial oxidation of sulfur and methane is central to the biogeochemical processes in sediments such as the tropical mangrove sediments. However, there is a lacuna of information on the seasonal interactions including ...
Genome analysis of Marinobacter phage AS1 suggests its close interactions with host Marinobacter sp.
(2019)
Marinobacter comprises a widespread and ecologically significant genus of marine bacteria with vast metabolic capabilities. However, very few reports on phages infecting this genus exist. In this study, we isolated and ...
Variations in particulate matter over Indo-Gangetic Plains and Indo-Himalayan Range during four field campaigns in winter monsoon and summer monsoon: Role of pollution pathways
(Elsevier, 2017)
Both in-situ and space-borne observations reveal an extremely high loading of particulates over the Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP), all year around. With a burgeoning population and combustion sources (fossil fuels (FFs) and ...
Stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic composition of PM10 over Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP), adjoining regions and Indo-Himalayan Range (IHR) during a winter 2014 campaign
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2018)
For source identification, a field campaign involving simultaneous sampling of particulate matter (PM10) was conducted at eight sampling sites in the Indian mainland during winter 2014. The sampling sites include Delhi ...
Chromate detoxification potential of Staphylococcus sp. isolates from an estuary
(2019)
Chromium (Cr) pollution is an emerging environmental problem. The present study was carried out to isolate Cr-resistant bacteria and characterize their Cr detoxification and resistance ability. Bacteria screened by exposure ...
Spatial and temporal variations in source, diagenesis, and fate of organic matter in sediments of the Netravati River, India
(2019)
Organic matter (OM) such as organic nitrogen plays a substantial role in the global biogeochemical cycling of bio-reactive components-amino acids (AA) in aquatic environments. Spatial and temporal variations in source, ...
Polychaete assemblage driven by substrate composition along the coastal waters of the South-eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2017)
The spatial variation in polychaete community structure and sediment composition was studied along the coastal waters of the South-eastern Arabian Sea. Sampling was conducted during the pre-monsoon season (2011-2014) in ...
Micro-phytoplankton photosynthesis, primary production and potential export production in the Atlantic Ocean
(Elsevier, 2017)
Micro-phytoplankton is the >20 m component of the phytoplankton community and plays a major role in the global ocean carbon pump, through the sequestering of anthropogenic CO2and export of organic carbon to the deep ocean. ...
