Effect of salinity induced pH/alkalinity changes on benthic foraminifera: A laboratory culture experiment
(Elsevier, 2015)
The salinity of coastal waters in the vicinity of seasonally fresh water fed estuaries changes tremendously and reportedly affects the living calcite secreting organisms like foraminifera, as well as their dead remains. ...
Assessing the effect of calcein incorporation on physiological processes of benthic foraminifera
(Elsevier, 2015)
Rosalina sp. was incubated in seawater spiked with calcein (5 mg/l to 20 mg/l calcein), a dye proposed as efficient marker to tag newly formed calcite, to understand its effect on benthic foraminifera. The experiment was ...
Relationship between abundance and morphology of benthic foraminifera Epistominella exigua: Palaeoclimatic implications
(Geological Society of India, 2011)
The relationship between abundance (relative as well as absolute abundance) and morphology (size of the shell, numbers and proloculus size) of benthic foraminifera Epistominella exigua has been studied in a core to understand ...
A glimpse of the Quaternary monsoon history from India and adjoining seas
(Elsevier, 2014)
The evolution of the monsoon is briefly summarized taking into account previous studies conducted on both terrestrial and marine records recovered from the Indian subcontinent and the adjoining seas. While the initiation ...
Assessing the suitability of benthic foraminiferal morpho-groups to reconstruct paleomonsoon from Bay of Bengal
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2016)
Temporal changes in benthic foraminiferal morpho-groups were suggested as an effective proxy to reconstruct past monsoon intensity from the Arabian Sea. Here, in order to test the applicability of temporal variation in ...
Mudbank off Alleppey, India: A bane for foraminifera but not so for carbon burial
(Elsevier, 2018)
Calm conditions and extensive fishing, during monsoon season in the mudbank off Alleppey (Kerala), India creates a unique environment, associated with high suspended particulate matter. The effect of processes associated ...
Marine paleoclimatic proxies: A shift from qualitative to quantitative estimation of seawater parameters
(Elsevier, 2017)
Understanding past climate during contrasting boundary conditions can help in assessing imminent climate changes. Marine sediments offer a vast archive of past climate. Various indirect methods called proxies are used to ...
High resolution climatic records of the past ~489 years from Central Asia as derived from benthic foraminiferal species, Asterorotalia trispinosa
(Elsevier, 2012)
Many researchers have reported the occurrence of the species Asterorotalia trispinosa as a major constituent in foraminiferal assemblages from different regions, its ecological significance has never been studied. The ...
Response of shallow water benthic foraminifera to a <sup>13</sup>C-labeled food pulse in the laboratory
(Springer, 2014)
In recent years, stable isotope techniques have been applied successfully directly on the sea floor to follow the fate of carbon in the marine carbon cycle. Feeding experiments using <sup>13</sup>C-labeled food enable the ...
Sea level flactuations during last 15000 years and their impact on human settlements
(Hyderabad: Institute of Scientific Research on Vedas (I-SERVE), 2012)
