Formation of hydrothermal deposits at Kings Triple Junction, northern Lau back-arc basin, SW Pacific: The geochemical perspectives
(Elsevier, 2010)
An inactive hydrothermal field was discovered near Kings Triple Junction (KTJ) in northern Lau back-arc basin during 19th cruise of R/V Akademik Mstislav Keldysh in 1990. The field consisted of a large elongated basal ...
Changes in the coastal and marine environments
(Capital Publishing Co., 2010)
The environmental setting and possible influence of global environmental change, including that of climate change, have been presented for coastal and marine environments of South Asia. This has been dealt with in seven ...
The next generation of iron fertilization experiments in the southern Ocean
(Cambridge University Press, 2010)
Of the various macro-engineering schemes proposed to mitigate global warming, ocean iron fertilization (OIF) is one that could be started at short notice on relevant scales. It is based on the reasoning that adding trace ...
Preference of echo features for classification of seafloor sediments using neural networks
(Springer, 2010)
Selection of a set of dominant echo features to classify seafloor sediments using a multilayer perceptron neural network is investigated at two acoustic frequencies (33 and 210 kHz). Several sets of inputs with different ...
Land-ocean tectonic signatures of the Krishna-Godavari Basin, a qualitative evaluation
(Current Science Association, 2010)
The bathymetry data of Krishna-Godavari Offshore Basin reveal that the water depths in the area vary from 40 m (near shore) to 3000 m (offshore). The data indicate high gradient tightly packed contours over offshore Krishna ...
Metals in coastal zooplanktons - A coastal living resource hazard
(Indian Geological Congress, 2010)
Trace metals in zooplankton and in coastal water column were monitored in the shallow coastal parts of Bay of Bengal during one winter monsoon. Among the zooplankton biota, copepods remained the most dominant one, followed ...
The contribution of deep-sea macrohabitat heterogeneity to global nematode diversity
(Blackwell Verlag GmbH, 2010)
The great variety of geological and hydrological conditions in the deep sea generates many different habitats. Some are only recently explored, although their true extent and geographical coverage are still not fully ...
16SrRNA and enzymatic diversity of culturable bacteria from the sediments of oxygen minimum zone in the Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2010)
Sediment underlying the oxygen minimum zone of the eastern Arabian Sea is rich in organic matter. Bacteria in this sediment-water interface are of great ecological importance as they are responsible for decomposing, ...
Minima of interannual sea-level variability in the Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2010)
Wavelet analysis of altimeter sea level in the Indian Ocean shows regions of high variability (maxima) and low variability (minima) at all time scales. At interannual time scales, i.e., at periods of 17 months or more, ...
Effect of eyestalk ablation on moulting and growth in the penaeid shrimp Metapenaeus monoceros (Fabricius, 1798)
(ICAR, India, 2010)
Penaeid shrimps (Metapenaeus monoceros) of two different size ranges were subjected to eyestalk ablation both unilaterally and bilaterally. The unilateral eyestalk ablated (UEA) shrimps consumed 8.9% (35-40 mm) and 29.9% ...
