Temperature- and size-associated differences in the skeletal structures and osculum cross-sectional area influence the pumping rate of contractile sponge Cinachyrella cf. cavernosa
(2019)
Sponges alter the proportion of structural and morphological components such as spicule skeleton and number of oscula in response to environment, development and growth. Such mechanisms indicate morphological and physiological ...
Distribution and geochemical fractionation of lead in the continental shelf sediments around India
(2019)
This study provides the first, preliminary data on geochemical distribution and fractionation of Pb (a toxic heavy metal) in continental shelf sediments around India and identifies the factors that control geochemical ...
Bacterial Community Composition Markedly Altered by Coastal Hypoxia
(2019)
Monsoonal upwelling along south and central west coast of India leads to intense biological productivity. As a consequence of excess organic matter production following upwelling during June-October and low dissolved oxygen ...
Uncertainties of the 50-year wave height estimation using generalized extreme value and generalized Pareto distributions in the Indian Shelf seas
(2019)
Information about waves with specific return period in a region is essential for the safe design of marine facilities. In this study, significant wave height for 50-year return period is estimated using generalized extreme ...
An Improved Method for Protein Extraction from Minuscule Quantities of Fungal Biomass
(Springer India, 2019)
Filamentous fungi are ubiquitous eukaryotes having chitin as a major constituent of the cell wall. Chitin is tough to lyse due to which the intracellular fungal proteins are not readily accessible. The problem is further ...
Coral reef restoration - A way forward to offset the coastal development impacts on Indian coral reefs
(2019)
Globally, coral reefs are degrading rapidly due to the combined impact of wide-scale anthropogenic activities and climate change. Similarly, coral reefs in India are facing an existential threat because of intensified ...
Chemical, isotopic and amino acid composition of Mukundpura CM2.0 (CM1) chondrite: Evidence of parent body aqueous alteration
(Elsevier, 2019)
The carbonaceous chondrites are intriguing and unique in the sense that they are the only rocks that provide pristine records of the early solar nebular processes. We report here results of a detailed mineralogical, chemical, ...
Microbial diversity in a coastal environment with co-existing upwelling and mud-banks along the south west coast of India
(2019)
Upwelling and mud banks are two prominent oceanographic features in the coastal waters along the south west coast of India during the southwest monsoon (MON) season. The present study investigates the microbial diversity ...
Distribution and dispersal of surface sediments on the continental margins of India
(2019)
The vast area, varying climate regimes, diverse source terrain lithology of the mainland India generate complex weathering and erosional patterns and leads to diverse sediment distribution and dispersal on the surrounding ...
Influence of air-sea coupling on Indian Ocean tropical cyclones
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2019)
This paper assesses the impact of air-sea coupling on Indian Ocean tropical cyclones (TCs) by comparing a 20-year long simulation of a �� regional coupled ocean-atmosphere model with a twin experiment, where the atmospheric ...
