Colonies of marine cyanobacteria Trichodesmium interact with associated bacteria to acquire iron from dust
(2019)
Iron (Fe) bioavailability limits phytoplankton growth in vast ocean regions. Iron-rich dust uplifted from deserts is transported in the atmosphere and deposited on the ocean surface. However, this dust is a poor source of ...
A review on SIFT and SURF for underwater image feature detection and matching
(Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, Inc. USA, 2019)
Fast and robust image recognition and matching is an important task in the underwater domain. Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) use images for detecting and recognising object or scene of interest. Interest points are ...
Changing depositional environment and factors controlling the growth of mudflat in a tropical estuary, west coast of India
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2018)
Mudflats and associated mangroves are most important ecosystems of tropical coastal regions. Mangroves play a very important role in maintaining the environmental balance; thus in addition to mangrove reforestation and ...
sFDvent: A global trait database for deep-sea hydrothermal-vent fauna
(2019)
Traits are increasingly being used to quantify global biodiversity patterns, with trait databases growing in size and number, across diverse taxa. Despite growing interest in a trait?based approach to the biodiversity of ...
Assessment of the environmental health of an ecologically sensitive, semi-enclosed, basin - A water quality modelling approach
(Elsevier, 2018)
Semi-enclosed basins are environmentally dynamic and some of the most anthropogenically affected components of the coastal realm. They can reflect various environmental impacts, thus qualifying as natural laboratories to ...
Assessment of distribution characteristics of polymetallic nodules and their implications on deep-sea mining
(Springer, 2017)
This chapter looks at the distribution characteristics of nodules and associated seafloor features so as to provide this information to the industry for designing a suitable mining system. Further, it also looks at different ...
Modelling size-fractionated primary production in the Atlantic Ocean from remote sensing
(Elsevier, 2017)
Marine primary production influences the transfer of carbon dioxide between the ocean and atmosphere, and the availability of energy for the pelagic food web. Both the rate and the fate of organic carbon from primary ...
70 kyr record of denitrification and oxygenation changes in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Geochemical Society of Japan, 2017)
A 70 kyr record of ?15N from the eastern Arabian Sea, Core AAS9/21 was investigated. High ?15N values during interglacials and low ?15N values during glacials are documented, which mimics the global ?15N records in the ...
Epibiotic communities (microalgae and meiofauna) on the pneumatophores of Avicennia officinalis (L.)
(Elsevier, 2018)
In a mangrove environment, several groups of organisms are symbiotically associated with pneumatophores (aerial roots). But whether these organisms are exclusively found in this habitat (uniqueness) or accidentally settled ...
Last 35,000-year water column temperature and productivity variation in the Eastern Arabian Sea: monsoon and global climate connection
(2019)
A radiocarbon-dated sediment core from the flat top of Wadia Guyot at a 1500-m water depth in the Eastern Arabian Sea (EAS), western margin of India, preserves the records of past changes in water column temperatures and ...
