Effect of temperature and salinity on stable isotopic composition of shallow water benthic foraminifera: A laboratory culture study
(Bengaluru: Geological Society of India, 2013)
Quantitative estimation of past climatic parameters from stable isotopic composition of foraminifera relies on estimating the precise relationship between stable isotopic composition of the species analyzed and the ...
Benthic ecological mapping of the Ayeyarwady delta shelf off Myanmar, using foraminiferal assemblages
(The Palaeontological Society of India, 2014)
Information on benthic ecologies is a prerequisite to evaluate marine resources, their management and monitoring the impact arising from their exploitation. In the present study, benthic foraminiferal distributions from ...
Late Holocene (~ 2 ka) East Asian Monsoon variations inferred from river discharge and climate interrelationships in the Pearl River Estuary
(Elsevier, 2014)
A sediment core from the Pearl River Estuary (PRE) was analyzed for grain size and organic geochemistry parameters (TOC and δ13C<sub>org</sub>). The results showed that high mean grain-size value and increased sand content ...
Dwarf foraminifera off Kerala, India: A response to mudbank formation
(Palaeontological Society of India, India, 2018)
During the monsoon season, a mudbank forms off Alleppey, a coastal district in Kerala. The mudbank forms in the littoral waters within 15 m water depth. It is a small coastal zone with water being unaffected by monsoon ...
Ancient Indians (Harappan settlement) were aware of tsunami/storm protection measures: A new interpretation of thick walls at Dholavira, Gujarat, India
(Current Science Association, 2016)
Dholavira, an archaeological site of Harappan times in Gujarat, had ‘city fortification’ as a unique aspect of its town planning. The thickness of the main city wall is alarming3, 9, 10. The probable cause of such massive ...
Deterioration of Early Holocene coral reef due to sea level rise along west coast of India: Benthic foraminiferal testimony
(China University of Geosciences (Beijing), 2012)
A total of 103 surface sediment samples collected from the water depth range of 15-3300 m along Vijaydurg-Karwar stretch of central west coast of India were analyzed for foraminiferal content. Relict benthic foraminiferal ...
Experiment to decipher the effect of heavy metal cadmium on coastal benthic foraminifer Pararotalia Nipponica (Asano)
(Palaeontological Society of India, 2013)
The response of benthic foraminifer Pararotalia nipponica to heavy metal cadmium is observed in laboratory experiment. The results indicate that under a given set of conditions, heavy metal cadmium is deleterious to benthic ...
How will Benthic Foraminifera Respond to Warming and Changes in Productivity-: A Laboratory Culture Study on Cymbaloporetta plana
(John Wiley & Sons, 2019)
Anthropogenic activities are likely to cause global warming. Global warming will affect marine productivity and thus food availability for marine organisms. Both the seawater temperature and food availability affect benthic ...
Deglaciation in the tropical Indian Ocean driven by interplay between the regional monsoon and global teleconnections
(Elsevier, 2013)
High resolution climate records of the ice age terminations from monsoon-dominated regions reveal the interplay of regional and global driving forces. Speleothem records from Chinese caves indicate that glacial terminations ...
Benthic foraminifera
(Elsevier, 2013)
Benthic foraminifera are protozoa, which evolved during Cambrian and at present are found living in all possible marine environments. Their single cell is enclosed in a microscopic calcareous or agglutinated shell called ...
