Diagenetic analysis of shallow and deep-seated gas hydrate systems from the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2022)
This is the first systematic high-resolution rock magnetic study complemented by mineralogical and petrological observations conducted on sediment cores representing shallow (active cold seep; SSD-45/Stn-4/GC-01) and ...
Ecological Impacts of Aged Freshwater Biofilms on Estuarine Microbial Communities Elucidated Through Microcosm Experiments: A Microbial Invasion Perspective
(Springer, 2022)
Inadvertent introductions of alien species via biofilms as a vector released through ballast water are of environmental importance, yet their consequences are not much known. In the present study, biofilm communities ...
Chemical diversities, biological activities and chemical synthesis of marine diphenyl ether and their derivatives
(Elsevier, 2022)
Marine organisms produce several secondary metabolites that find applications in pharmacology and biological systems. Vast biodiversity and unique environmental conditions endowed with marine ecosystem provide marine ...
Seasonal, weathering and water use controls of silicon cycling along the river flow in two contrasting basins of South India
(Elsevier, 2022)
We present the first study of river water silicon isotopic composition from two contrasting basins in South India, the east flowing Kaveri river and the west flowing Netravathi river. Both rivers originate from the Western ...
Response of smaller plankton to the saltwater barrage-altered hydrography of a tropical estuarine system on India's southwest coast
(Elsevier, 2022)
This study examines how a large saltwater barrage [Thannermukkom barrage (TB)] in the Kochi backwaters (KBW), India's largest estuarine system on the west coast, affects the distribution of autotrophic small plankton ...
Strong solar influence on multi-decadal periodic productivity changes in the central-western Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2022)
Oceanic productivity is a vital component of the global carbon cycle. The productivity in the tropical oceans is strongly modulated by the monsoon winds. The monsoon winds are driven by the temperature. Therefore, the ...
Ecological habitat quality assessment of a tropical estuary using macrobenthic functional characteristics and biotic indices
(Springer, 2022)
Seasonal variation in the macrobenthic functional characteristics, such as trophic structure and secondary production, was studied, along with their structural characteristics such as density, biomass, and community ...
Distribution of extant coccolithophores from the northwest continental shelf of India during the summer monsoon
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
Coccolithophores contribute substantially to marine primary production as well as to particulate inorganic carbon (PIC) flux to the deep sea; however, there is no literature available so far from the Indian continental ...
Phytoplankton community indices in assessing the ecological quality status (EcoQS) of a coastal ecosystem (Thane Creek, India): Mono-metric vs multi-metric approach
(Elsevier, 2022)
The ecological quality status (EcoQS) of Thane Creek which is surrounded by the urbanized and industrialized sector of Mumbai was assessed by considering six phytoplankton community indices. Sampling was carried out during ...
Blue-shifted deep ocean currents in the equatorial Indian Ocean
(Springer, 2022)
Spectra from two decades of zonal current data at ~ 4000 m in the central and western equatorial Indian Ocean show a shift in the dominant frequencies from the west to the east. The 120-180-day period is stronger at 77� ...
