Research opportunities and challenges in the Indian Ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 2008)
The Indian Ocean is a dynamically complex and highly variable system, with circulation features and biogeochemical properties that are unusual in many respects. Yet the Indian Ocean (IO) remains one of the most under-sampled ...
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 ...
Air-Sea Interactions of Natural Long-Lived Greenhouse Gases (CO2, N2O, CH4) in a Changing Climate
(Springer, 2014)
Understanding and quantifying ocean–atmosphere exchanges of the long-lived greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) are important for understanding the global biogeochemical cycles of ...
Biogeosciences connecting earth`s spheres from microscopic to global scales
(European Geosciences Union, 2015)
Mineralogical and elemental analyses of 20 ferromanganese (FeMn)-coated pumice samples from the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) indicate that todorokite is the major mineral phase, whereas vernadite occurs only rarely. ...
Carbon and nitrogen isotopic composition of suspended particulate organic matter in Zuari Estuary, west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2015)
The spatio-temporal variations of the δ13C and δ15N of suspended particulate organic matter (SPOM), along with ancillary chemical and hydrographic parameters, have been examined monthly for one year (October 2010 to September ...
Iron fertilization enhanced net community production but not downward particle flux during the Southern Ocean iron fertilization experiment LOHAFEX
(American Geophysical Union, 2013)
A closed eddy core in the Subantarctic Atlantic Ocean was fertilized twice with two tons of iron (as FeSO<sub>4</sub>), and the 300 km<sup>2</sup> fertilized patch was studied for 39 days to test whether fertilization ...
Massive Nitrogen Loss Over the Western Indian Continental Shelf During Seasonal Anoxia: Evidence From Isotope Pairing Technique
(Frontiers Media SA, 2020)
The western Indian continental shelf houses the world's largest naturally formed coastal low-oxygen zone that develops seasonally during the summer monsoon. We investigated multiple reductive nitrogen transformation pathways ...
Spatial variation of phytoplankton pigments along the southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2006)
Phytoplankton composition and abundance were studied along the southwestern Indian coast toward the end of the upwelling season in October 2004. Phytoplankton pigment analyses, complemented by limited microscopic counts, ...
Diversity of nitrite reductase genes (nirS) in the denitrifying water column of the coastal Arabian Sea
(Inter-Research, 2004)
Denitrification often occurs in the water column, underlying zones of intense productivity and decomposition in upwelling regions. In the denitrifying zone off the southwest coast of India, high concentrations of nitrite ...
Cyclone phyan-induced plankton community succession in the coastal waters off Goa, India
(Current Science Association, 2016)
Effects of the cyclonic storm Phyan, which hit the states of Goa and Maharashtra in western India during 9-12 November 2009, on coastal waters were studied. Mixing induced by the cyclone appreciably affected the vertical ...
