Geochemical provenance of an Indo-Arabian stone anchor from Manikapatna highlights the medieval maritime trade of India
(Nature Publishing Group, 2022)
India is one of the oldest maritime nations in the world, and the overseas contacts date back to the third millennium BCE.Besides several archaeological vestiges, numerous stone anchors of various types have been documented ...
Spatial variability in aerosol composition and its seawater acidification potential in coastal waters of the western coastal Bay of Bengal
(Springer, 2022)
Deposition of atmospheric dust is reported to acidify surface waters in the northern Bay of Bengal (BoB).To examine the spatial variability in content and composition of total suspended matter (TSP), aerosol samples were ...
Biogeochemistry of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen in the Bay of Bengal: New insights through re-analysis of data
(Springer, 2022)
Primary production is reported to be a fraction of heterotrophic carbon demand in the Bay of Bengal (BoB), and it is attributed to the unavailability of inorganic nutrients and faster sinking of organic matter in association ...
Atmospheric dust addition under elevated CO2 restructured phytoplankton community from the Arabian Sea: A microcosm approach
(Elsevier, 2022)
Atmospheric dust deposition in the North Indian Ocean, particularly in the Arabian Sea significantly impacts phytoplankton productivity.Importantly, the steady increase in Sea Surface Temperature (SST) of the Arabian Sea ...
Isolation and Identification of Novel Chromium Tolerant Bacterial Strains From a Heavy Metal Polluted Urban Creek: An Assessment of Bioremediation Efficiency and Flocculant Production
(Springer, 2022)
Uncontrolled discharge of industrial effluents and wastewaters has resulted in a significant increase in Hexavalent Chromium Cr(VI) levels in urban rivers and tidal inlets such as Mumbai's Versova Creek.Mechanical removal ...
Application of remotely sensed sea surface temperature for assessment of recurrent coral bleaching (2014-2019) impact on a marginal coral ecosystem
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
The 2014-2016 El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) caused a prolonged marine heatwave that led to widespread coral bleaching and mortality across the Indo-pacific coral reefs.Prediction of coral bleaching and assessment of ...
Surge in the jellyfish population of a tropical monsoonal estuary: A boon or bane to its plankton community dynamics?
(Elsevier, 2022)
Recurrent jellyfish blooms and their impacts on ecosystem deliverables of coastal habitats have become a major ecological concern.In view of this, repercussions of a surge in the jellyfish population on the plankton community ...
Application of Fluorescence in situ hybridization-Flow cytometry (FISH-FCM) technique to detect and quantify Vibrio cholerae population from different geographic regions
(ASEAN Committee on Science and Technology (COST), 2018)
Rapid and species-specific detection, and quantification of pathogenic bacteria are fundamental for monitoring and assessment of the risk they pose to any ecosystem. The study employed Vibrio cholerae, a human pathogen ...
Influence of ENSO Events on the Agulhas Leakage Region
(Springer International Publishing, 2018)
This study explores the subsurface oceanic response to the El Ni�o Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the southern tropical Indian Ocean and Agulhas leakage region. The subsurface temperature and salinity responses of the ...
Influence of river discharge on abundance and composition of phytoplankton in the western coastal Bay of Bengal during peak discharge period
(Elsevier, 2018)
To understand the influence of river discharge on phytoplankton composition along western coastal Bay of Bengal (BoB), surface water samples were collected during peak discharge period. River discharge from the Ganges ...
