Velocity modeling and attribute analysis to understand the gas hydrates and free gas system in the Mannar Basin, India
(Elsevier, 2021)
The Mannar basin, located between India and Sri Lanka, is poorly explored for hydrocarbon compared to other petroliferous basins in the Indian offshore. 2D multichannel seismic data was acquired onboard R/V Samudra Ratnakar ...
Trace metals concentration in water hyacinth implicates the saltwater barrage altered hydrography of Kochi backwaters, southwest Coast of India
(Elsevier, 2021)
This study in the Kochi backwaters (KBW) presents the distribution of 9 trace metals (Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, Ni, Co, Cr, Cd, Pb) in different parts (root, stolon and leaf) of the common water hyacinth Eichhornia crassipes during ...
Influence of phytoplankton pigment composition and primary production on pCO2 levels in the Indian Ocean
(Springer, 2021)
The tropical Indian Ocean is a net sink for the carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere and phytoplankton production plays a crucial role in CO2 fixation and determines the direction of CO2 flux at the sea-to-air interface. ...
Seaweed-based cellulose: Applications, and future perspectives
(Elsevier, 2021)
Cellulose is a naturally occurring organic polymer extracted mainly from lignocellulosic biomass of terrestrial origin. However, the increasing production of seaweeds for growing global market demands has developed the ...
Sedimentological responses to coastal dynamics along the Thane District, North Maharashtra, West Coast of India
(Springer, 2021)
We present the results of sedimentological responses to coastal dynamics of the Arnala beach, located between Vaitarna and Ulhas rivers, Thane district, Maharashtra, India. The coast is remarkably flat and wide and in the ...
Response of macrozoobenthic communities to summer monsoon upwelling and related hypoxia in the south eastern Arabian Sea shelf
(Elsevier, 2021)
Coastal upwelling in the south eastern Arabian Sea (SEAS) leads to oxygen depletion over the continental shelf during the summer monsoon season (June-September), with latitudinal gradients in intensity. Based on two surveys ...
Phosphorus cycling from a coastal upwelling zone in the Southeastern Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2021)
The present study examined the seasonal cycling of phosphorous (P) along the southwest coast of India (SWCI) based on two cruises during the southwest monsoon (SWM) and northeast monsoon (NEM) of 2018. During SWM, the ...
Controls of mass transport deposit and magnetic mineral diagenesis on the sediment magnetic record from the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2021)
We conducted rock magnetic, mineralogical, sedimentological and geochemical analyses on a sediment core (MD161/Stn-11) retrieved from a complex marine sedimentary system of Krishna-Godavari (K-G) basin to delineate the ...
Observational evidence of stratification control of upwelling and pelagic fishery in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Springer-Nature, 2021)
Upwelling is a physical phenomenon that occurs globally along the eastern boundary of the ocean and supports pelagic fishery which is an important source of protein for the coastal population. Though upwelling and associated ...
Discovery of cytotoxic natural products from Red Sea sponges: Structure and synthesis
(Elsevier Masson s.r.l., 2021)
Marine ecosystem continues to produce a great wealth of molecules endowed with cytotoxic activity towards a large panel of tumor cells. Marine sponges, apparently defenseless organisms are endowed through evolution with a ...
