How does frontal age influence physiological status of bacteria: a case study from the Northeastern Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2021)
Sea surface temperature fronts in the Northeastern Arabian Sea (NEAS) facilitate nutrient enhancement in the surface layers, resulting in high primary production. Such high production areas contribute to the accumulation ...
Microbiome and ecology of a hot spring-microbialite system on the Trans-Himalayan Plateau
(Nature Research, 2020)
Little is known about life in the boron-rich hot-springs of Trans-Himalayas. Here, we explore the geomicrobiology of a 4438-m-high spring which emanates ~70 °C-water from a boratic microbialite called Shivlinga. Due to low ...
Monsoon rainfall and contrasting source rocks influenced sediment composition of peninsular basins along the east coast of India (western Bay of Bengal)
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
The peninsular India is characterized by remarkable variation in lithological composition as well as contrasting rainfall distribution patterns. The erosional and weathering history of these source rocks along with monsoonal ...
Operationally defined mercury (Hg) species can delineate Hg bioaccumulation in mangrove sediment systems: A case study
(2020)
This study investigated the linkage between mercury (Hg) speciation in the surficial sediments from a mangrove ecosystem of the Zuari Estuary, west coast of India, with Hg bioaccumulation in gastropods collected from the ...
Coral damage by recreational diving activities in a Marine Protected Area of India: Unaccountability leading to 'tragedy of the not so commons'
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
Globally, coral reefs have drastically degraded due to local and global environmental stressors. Concurrently, coral reef tourism is rapidly growing in developing economies, which is one of many anthropogenic stressors ...
Biogeochemical cycling in the low oxygen marine environments
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)
Biogeochemistry is the interdisciplinary science of the composition and cycling of chemicalelements. Nitrogen and oxygen are two elements that are essential for living organisms and the sustenance of life on Earth. While ...
Optical characteristics of colored dissolved organic matter during blooms of Trichodesmium in the coastal waters off Goa
(Springer, 2020)
Trichodesmium, a marine cyanobacterium, plays a significant role in the global nitrogen cycle due to its nitrogen fixing ability. Large patches of Trichodesmium blooms were observed in the coastal waters, off Goa during ...
Tidal characteristics in the Gulf of Khambhat, northern Arabian Sea - based on observation and global tidal model data
(Elsevier, 2020)
Summary Tidal characteristics of the Gulf of Khambhat are described based on measured and modelled sea-level data. Data were recorded at three locations inside and two locations outside the Gulf with record lengths of 6-12 ...
Potential contribution to the nutrient pool due to the decomposition of Eichhornia crassipes under different salinity in an aquatic ecosystem-A laboratory study
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)
The opening of Thannermukkom saltwater barriers during monsoon causes an Eichhornia crassipes infestation in Cochin backwater, Kerala-India; an annual occurrence. During the process, the plants are exposed to varying ...
Evidence for brown carbon absorption over the Bay of Bengal during the southwest monsoon season: a possible oceanic source
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2020)
Light-absorbing brown carbon aerosols can have a marine origin over the coastal oceans and are likely associated with the sea salt component emitted from the ocean surface - significantly contributes to aerosol radiative ...
