Spatio-temporal variability in macrobenthic communities and trophic structure of a tropical estuary and its adjacent coastal waters
(2019)
Spatio-temporal distribution of the macrobenthic community (> 500 ?m) and the trophic ecology of polychaetes were studied for a year in the Cochin estuary (CE) and its adjacent coastal waters. A profound influence of the ...
Assessing the ecological preferences of agglutinated benthic foraminiferal morphogroups from the western Bay of Bengal
(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 ...
Humpback whale singing activity off the Goan coast in the Eastern Arabian Sea
(2019)
For over two decades, passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) methods have been successfully employed around the world for studying aquatic megafauna. PAM-driven studies in Indian waters have so far been relatively very scarce. ...
Photocatalytic degradation of synthetic dyes using iron (III) oxide nanoparticles (Fe 2 O 3 -Nps) synthesised using Rhizophora mucronata Lam
(2019)
Biosynthesis of nanoparticles through plant extracts is gaining attention due to the toxic free synthesis process. The environmental engineering applications of many metal oxide nanoparticles have been reported. In this ...
Factors controlling organic matter composition and trophic state in seven tropical estuaries along the west coast of India
(2019)
To understand the organic matter (OM) sources and trophic states, spatial and seasonal (post-monsoon and pre-monsoon) variation in sedimentary OM compositions was investigated in seven tropical estuaries of the state of ...
Detailed Structure and Plate Reconstructions of the Central Indian Ocean Between 83.0 and 42.5 Ma (Chrons 34 and 20)
(2019)
The Central Indian Ocean, namely the Central Indian, Crozet, and Madagascar basins, formed by rifting and subsequent drifting of India (now Capricorn), Antarctica, and Africa (now Somalia). We gathered a comprehensive set ...
Impact of eddies on dissolved inorganic carbon components in the Bay of Bengal
(2019)
To examine the influence of anticyclonic (ACE) and cyclonic (CE) eddies on variations in hydrographic properties and total inorganic carbon system (CT), a study was conducted in the western Bay of Bengal (BoB). The depth ...
Molecular characteristics of sedimentary organic matter in controlling mercury (Hg) and elemental mercury (Hg0) distribution in tropical estuarine sediments
(Elsevier, 2019)
Sedimentary organic matter (SOM) plays an important role in hosting and reducing HgII in marine/estuarine sediment. This study provides a better understanding on the influence of nature of SOM, in regulating sedimentary ...
Oxygen isotopic and chemical composition of chromites in micrometeorites: Evidence of ordinary chondrite precursors
(2019)
We identified 66 chromite grains from 42 of ~5000 micrometeorites collected from Indian Ocean deep-sea sediments and the South Pole water well. To determine the chromite grains precursors and their contribution to the ...
Consistency of wave power at a location in the coastal waters of central eastern Arabian Sea
(2019)
Wave energy assessment at a regional scale is required for planning installation of wave energy converters. Based on continuously measured wave data at 14-m water depth in the central eastern Arabian Sea from January 2011 ...
