Sagar Kanya Bathymetric High Complex: An extinct giant submarine volcanic caldera in the Eastern Arabian Sea?
(Elsevier B.V., 2021)
The marine geophysical investigations carried out in the Eastern Arabian Sea revealed the presence of a bathymetric high feature, referred to as the Sagar Kanya Seamount. The preliminary morphology and geophysical ...
The Global Implications of the Nitrogen Cycle: A Benthic Community Perspective
(Cambridge Scholars Publishing, New castle, UK, 2020)
The benthic ecosystem comprising coral reefs, seaweed, and seagrass beds contributes to organic matter mineralisation, food for many invertebrates and fishes, and plays a significant role in regulating the various ...
Evidence for the existence of Persian Gulf water and Red Sea water in the Bay of Bengal
(Springer, 2017)
The high-salinity water masses that originate in the North Indian Ocean are Arabian Sea High-Salinity Water (ASHSW), Persian Gulf Water (PGW), and Red Sea Water (RSW). Among them, only ASHSW has been shown to exist in the ...
Headwaters to oceans: Ecological and biogeochemical contrasts across the aquatic continuum
(Wiley, 2017)
While the disciplines of oceanography and limnology often operate in isolate, freshwater, estuarine, and marine ecosystems are intricately linked. The emphasis of this special issue for Limnology and Oceanography is on the ...
Oceanic rocks beneath the landmass and continental rocks below the ocean - geological complexities in Indian waters
(Current Science Association, IAS, 2020)
This brief write up reports two extreme geological cases found in waters around the Indian subcontinent. In the eastern side of the subcontinent, particularly beneath the Bengal onshore and offshore basins, proto-oceanic ...
Dominant Modes of Upper Ocean Heat Content in the North Indian Ocean
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute- MDPI AG, Basel, Switzerland, 2018)
The thermal energy needed for the development of hurricanes and monsoons as well as any prolonged marine weather event comes from layers in the upper oceans, not just from the thin layer represented by sea surface temperature ...
Latitudinal environmental gradients and diel variability influence abundance and community structure of Chaetognatha in Red Sea coral reefs
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
The Red Sea has been recognized as a unique region to study the effects of ecohydrographic gradients at a basin-wide scale. Its gradient of temperature and salinity relates to the Indian Ocean monsoon and associated ...
Anthropogenic spherules in Zuari estuary, south west coast of India
(2019)
In this study we report silica rich anthropogenic spherules from the marine environment. We found spherical, dumbbell, teardrop and fused spherules in Zuari estuary (near the Dona paula jetty), south west coast of India. ...
Pseudofaults and associated seamounts in the conjugate Arabian and Eastern Somali basins, NW Indian Ocean - New constraints from high-resolution satellite-derived gravity data
(Pergamon, 2016)
Marine gravity data derived from satellite altimeters are effective tools in mapping fine-scale tectonic features of the ocean basins such as pseudofaults, fracture zones and seamounts, particularly when the ocean basins ...
