Unraveling the role of bacterial communities in mangrove habitats under the urban influence, using a next-generation sequencing approach
(Elsevier, 2024)
Mangrove ecosystems are vital coastal habitats with rich biodiversity and play a significant role in carbon sequestration, these habitats are facing mounting threats from rapid urbanization. This study delves into assessing ...
Methane stimulates massive nitrogen loss from freshwater reservoirs in India
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)
The fate of the enormous amount of reactive nitrogen released to the environment by human activities in India is unknown. Here we show occurrence of seasonal stratification and generally low concentrations of dissolved ...
Impact of COVID-19 lockdown on methane related activities in a tropical estuarine mangrove ecosystem
(Springer, 2024)
The COVID-19 pandemic led to an immediate lockdown declared by the government of India (March to April 2020) which saw a decrease in public activities. In view of this, a comparative study was carried out on the influence ...
Seasonal anoxia over the western Indian continental shelf
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)
The eastern Arabian Sea contains the only eastern-boundary-type upwelling environment in the entire Indian Ocean, albeit on a seasonal basis. During the southwest monsoon, when the surface current flows equatorward, upwelling ...
Geochemical dichotomy of Tethyan oceanic mantle and the supercontinent connection: Insights from Os isotopic signatures of mantle peridotites from Naga Hills ophiolite
(Elsevier, 2024)
Naga Hills Ophiolite (NHO) represents a thrusted section of relict Neo-Tethyan oceanic lithosphere comprising distinct crustal and upper mantle lithologies that preserve imprints of different stages of evolution of ancient ...
Extremely oligotrophic and complex-carbon-degrading microaerobic bacteria from Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone sediments
(Springer, 2024)
Sediments underlying marine hypoxic zones are huge sinks of unreacted complex organic matter, where despite acute O2 limitation, obligately aerobic bacteria thrive, and steady depletion of organic carbon takes place within ...
Identification and physico-chemical characterization of microplastics in marine aerosols over the northeast Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2024)
Microplastics (MPs) in the atmosphere can undergo long-range transport from emission regions to pristine terrestrial and oceanic ecosystems. Due to their inherent toxic and hazardous characteristics, MPs pose serious risks ...
The consequences of reduced anthropogenic activities during the COVID-19 pandemic on microplastic abundance in a tropical estuarine region: Goa, India
(Elsevier, 2024)
Plastic pollution is pervasive, as it has infiltrated every corner of the planet and the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a depletion in the production, consumption, and disposal of plastics. To find out the effect of the ...
Biodegradation of Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) using marine bacteria isolated from tropical beaches of megacity Mumbai
(CSIR-National Institute of Science Communication and Policy Research (NIScPR), New Delhi, 2023)
Plastics, although as useful and versatile as they are, have led to major environmental pollution. Its resistance to degradation has caused a major global threat to the environment. Plastic waste is disposed of in landfills ...
Isotopic composition of carbon and nitrogen of particulate organic matter in the Godavari estuary: Seasonality in sources and processes
(Springer, 2024)
Rivers transport organic matter originating within the estuary and terrestrial sources to the coastal ocean. The seasonal variations in the magnitude of river discharge alter the sources of particulate organic matter (POM) ...
