Controls of contrasting provenance and fractionation on the sediment magnetic records from the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2021)
We present the results of rock magnetic, granulometric, microscopy and mineralogical analyses of shelf sediments off Krishna, Godavari, and Mahanadi Rivers, Bay of Bengal. The aim of the study was to assess the influence ...
Spatial distribution of waves and wave-induced littoral drift along the nearshore regions of the central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2021)
The spatial distribution of nearshore wave characteristics and wave-induced littoral drift along the Central West Coast of India (CWCI) is investigated using a wave transformation model. Previous approaches in littoral ...
Fluid-driven Hydrovolcanic Activity along Fracture Zones and near Seamounts: Evidence from Deep-sea Fe-rich Spherules, Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Wiley, 2021)
An insight on occurrence of Fe-rich spherules from the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) provides an understanding of their distribution at a water depth of >5,000 m. In the present study, Fe-rich spherules are identified ...
Octocoral colonies as spawning ground for the cuttlefish Sepiella inermis (Cephalopoda: Sepiidae)
(Springer, 2021)
Corals are key ecosystem engineers, supporting marine biodiversity by providing nursery ground and living habitat. Among corals, octocorals are a diverse group of soft corals that are an integral part of reef ecosystems. ...
First record of the genus Caprella and species Caprella danilevskii Czerniavski, 1868 (Amphipoda: Corophiida: Caprellidae) from Arabian Sea, North Indian Ocean
(NIScPR-CSIR, India, 2022)
The genus Caprella (Amphipoda: Caprellidae) has been recorded from all over the world oceans, whereas the species C. danilevskii Czerniavski, 1868 was only limited to southern parts of the Indian Ocean. Here, the occurrence ...
Distribution pattern of the benthic meiofaunal community along the depth gradient of the Western Indian continental margin, including the OMZ and abyssal plain
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021)
The continental margin harbors a variety of habitats that support incredible biodiversity and the function of their oceans' ecosystems. The meiofauna is considered a significant component of the benthic faunal community ...
Translocation of intertidal corals in highly urbanized Mumbai seascape: A pragmatic management initiative towards ecosystem conservation
(Elsevier, 2022)
Coral reefs harbour rich biodiversity by increasing heterogeneous habitat and providing numerous ecosystem services and goods. However, they are highly threatened due to ongoing climate change and various anthropogenic ...
Characterization of anthropogenic marine macro-debris affecting coral habitat in the highly urbanized seascape of Mumbai megacity
(Elsevier, 2022)
Marine debris has become a major form of pollution and a serious ecosystem health concern. The present study evaluates the accumulation, origin, and fate of debris in intertidal coral habitats of Mumbai-one of the world's ...
The first record of the genus Lamellibrachia (Siboglinidae) tubeworm along with associated organisms in a chemosynthetic ecosystem from the Indian Ocean: A report from the Cauvery-Mannar Basin
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021)
Here, we report for the first time, the genus Lamellibrachia tubeworm and associated chemosynthetic ecosystem from a cold-seep site in the Indian Ocean. The discovery of cold-seep was made off the Cauvery-Mannar Basin ...
Oxygen Ablation during Atmospheric Entry: Its Influence on the Isotopic Composition of Micrometeorites
(IOP Publishing, 2022)
Micrometeorites (MMs) offer glimpses of the diverse nature of parent bodies that accreted during the first few million years after the formation of the proto-Sun.The present work explores this by evaluating the ablation ...
