Sources and preservation dynamics of organic matter in surface sediments of Narmada River, India - Illustrated by amino acids
(2020)
The preservation process of organic matter (OM) in estuarine environments determines the recycling and sinking of nutrients. This process requires the identification of sources, degradation states and the main processes ...
Trace metal distribution in the sediment cores of mangrove ecosystems along northern Kerala coast, south-west coast of India
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
Core sediment samples were collected from five mangrove ecosystems along northern Kerala coast (Kunjimangalam: S1, Pazhayangadi: S2, Pappinissery: S3, Thalassery: S4, and Kadalundi: S5) to assess the status of heavy metal ...
Climatology of wave period in the Arabian Sea and its variability during the recent 40 years
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
Information on wave period is required for designing marine facilities. Characteristics of peak period (Tp) can reveal swell or wind-sea predominance at a location. Mean wave period (Tm) and Tp from reanalysis data spanning ...
Occurrence of Gravity and Infra Gravity Waves in the Nearshore Region at Ratnagiri, West Coast of India
(Coastal Education and Research Foundation, 2020)
This study analyses the sea level data measured simultaneously using S4DW and directional Wave Rider Buoy (WRB) off Ratnagiri, eastern Arabian Sea, located along the west coast of the Indian sub-continent. The objective ...
Effect of freshwater advection and winds on the vertical structure of chlorophyll in the northern Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2020)
The northern Bay of Bengal receives a large amount of fresh water through river runoff and rainfall during the Indian summer monsoon (June-September). This fresh water spreads offshore and can modulate the upper-ocean ...
Sources and implications of particulate organic matter from a small tropical river-Zuari River, India
(Springer Verlag, 2020)
Transitional ecosystems, estuaries and the coastal seas, are distinctively affected by natural and anthropogenic factors. Organic matter (OM) originating from terrestrial sources is exported by rivers and forms a key ...
Characterization of coral associated ciliates and their interactions with disease lesion progression of Indian Scleractinian corals
(Elsevier, 2020)
Ciliates associated with advanced diseased lesions of Acropora sp. and Porites sp. in the field were isolated and characterised using microscopic and molecular analysis. The identified dominant coral-associated ciliates ...
Sulfidization processes in seasonally hypoxic shelf sediments: A study off the West coast of India
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
Continental shelves are the major sites for organic carbon burial and sulfate reduction. Organic carbon degradation and sulfidization along continental shelves are expected to play a significant role in global carbon-sulfur-iron ...
The Significance of Denitrification in the Nitrogen Cycle
(Cambridge Scholars Publishing, New castle, UK, 2020)
Nitrogen fluxes from marine systems to the atmosphere are between 25x10 9 and 179x10 9 kilograms per year and from terrestrial systems, between 90x10 9 and 243x10 9 kilograms per year via microbial denitrification. ...
Distinctive Community Patterns With Exceptional Diversity of Polychaetes Around a Tectonically Active Archipelago in the Tropical Indian Ocean
(Frontiers, 2020)
Marine soft-sediments sustain functionally important benthic assemblages that are critical for remineralization of organic matter and supply of nutrients to the water column. While these assemblages are well studied along ...
