Recently discovered stone anchors of Odisha, east coast of India
(Australasian Institute for Maritime Archaeology, 2020)
Anchors are considered as the potsherds of maritime archaeology. Studies of stone anchors provide insight into trade routes, harbours and ports, maritime contacts, transfer of technology. In ancient times, vessels carried ...
Antioxidant and Antiglycemic Properties of Macroalgae, an Underutilized Blue Economy Bioresource in India
(Springer, 2021)
Macroalgae are marine bioresources with a myriad of bioactive potential to treat various chronic diseases such as cancer, obesity, diabetes and coronary heart diseases. Though there is a vast diversity of macroalgal species ...
Coccolithophores: an environmentally significant and understudied phytoplankton group in the Indian Ocean
(Springer, 2021)
Coccolithophores are unique primary producers in the ocean with the ability to calcify. They are known to produce calcareous scales, which form the significant part of calcite oozes or chalk deposits on the seafloor. ...
Late Quaternary record of Indian summer monsoon-induced stratification and productivity collapse in the Andaman Sea
(John Wiley and Sons, Ltd, 2021)
During each summer monsoon, the northeastern Indian Ocean receives a huge amount of rain and river discharge, resulting in strong stratification and prevalence of oligotrophic conditions. These water column changes impact ...
The Sino-Indian Geopolitics and Maritime Security of the Indian Ocean Region
(Taylor and Francis, 2021)
The Indian Ocean Region (IOR) is a prominent arena in international politics, in terms of trade, tourism, population, among other aspects. Several countries, some unconnected geographically, have shown interest in these ...
Two decades of current observations in the equatorial Indian Ocean
(Springer, 2021)
Deep-sea moorings in the equatorial Indian Ocean were first deployed by India in the year 2000, and currents were measured at three locations (77°E, 83°E, and 93°E) on the equator. In this paper, we present two decades of ...
Response of the phytoplankton community to seasonal and spatial environmental conditions in the Haldia port ecosystem located in the tropical Hooghly River estuary
(Springer, 2021)
The phytoplankton community structure exhibits seasonal and spatial variations in response to the environmental conditions, which aids in understanding the ecosystem's health. Given this, four samplings were conducted ...
Impact of remote equatorial winds and local mesoscale eddies on the existence of "River in the Sea" along the East coast of India inferred from satellite SMAP
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2020)
The Northern Bay of Bengal (NBOB) exhibits extreme salinity stratification caused by intense summer monsoon rainfall and associated river discharge. This accumulated fresh water plume in NBOB is believed to be transported ...
Bioluminescence of green Noctiluca scintillans from the coastal waters of Kochi (southwest coast of India) and in vivo experiments on bioluminescence in response to mechanical stimuli and its diurnal variations
(Taylor & Francis, 2021)
A bloom of green Noctiluca scintillans (GNS) was spotted as conspicuous bright blue coloured bioluminescence in the coastal waters of Kochi on 29 May 2019. The intense blue colouration was visible in the inshore waters, ...
Role of ocean dynamics in the evolution of mixed-layer temperature in the Bay of Bengal during the summer monsoon
(Elsevier, 2021)
Earlier studies suggest that the mixed-layer (ML) temperature or sea surface temperature (SST) of the Bay of Bengal during the summer monsoon is determined primarily by air-sea fluxes. We use an oceanic general circulation ...
