Scattered wave imaging of the Main Himalayan Thrust and mid-crustal ramp beneath the Arunachal Himalaya and its relation to seismicity
(Elsevier, 2022)
Despite numerous seismological experiments in the Himalaya, the Main Himalayan Thrust and the mid-crustal ramp, that is postulated to host major earthquakes in the region, are not precisely imaged.Within the Himalaya, the ...
Three green seaweed extracts and their fractions for ecofriendly management of pestiferous insect Spodoptera litura
(Springer, 2022)
Polyphagous pest Spodoptera litura poses a serious threat to important agriculture crops and their products.A green ecofriendly alternative to existing chemical pesticides, bio-fertilizers are preferred to protect the crop ...
Risk assessments of microplastics accumulated in estuarine sediments at Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu, southeast coast of India
(Springer, 2023)
In this study, the abundance of microplastics (MPs) in the Uppanar and Gadilam estuaries in Cuddalore, on the southeast coast of India, is reported. In the estuarine sediments, MP abundance ranged from 36.3 ± 3.39 to ...
Performance of ERA5 winds on computed storm surge and wave-current interaction using a coupled model during Ockhi cyclone
(Springer, 2023)
A fully coupled numerical model was setup to simulate tides as well as storm surges and waves generated by the very severe cyclonic storm Ockhi, which occurred in the Arabian Sea during 29 November-6 December 2017. ERA5 ...
Preliminary observations on the coral reef communities in Angria Bank, an isolated carbonate bank in the Northern Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2023)
Submerged carbonate banks are of significant geological and biological importance and relatively little is known about the biodiversity of these deeper and less accessible habitats. This study provides pilot information ...
Variability in phytoplankton shape dominance in marine pelagic systems: prevalence of different adaptive strategies in the eastern Arabian Sea during the winter monsoon
(Springer, 2023)
Phytoplankton communities from pelagic systems were assessed to explore the potential of using commonly used traits (such as cell geometry and taxa) as ecological function indicators from the data generated during the ...
Role of aerosol liquid water content on the production of dicarboxylic acids in the dust-laden air masses over the Arabian Sea: Implications for heterogeneous chemistry
(Elsevier, 2023)
Oxalic acid and the related organics are ubiquitous water-soluble constituents of ambient organic aerosols (OA). Their molecular distributions and relative abundances provide crucial insights on the secondary OA formation ...
Flood-associated hydrobiological changes in the nearshore off Kochi, along the southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2023)
This study presents how flood water transforms the hydrobiology of the nearshore waters close to estuarine inlets along the southwest coast of India, which are susceptible to significant freshwater discharge during the ...
Applications of Machine Learning in Chemical and Biological Oceanography
(American Chemical Society, 2023)
Machine learning (ML) refers to computer algorithms that predict a meaningful output or categorize complex systems based on a large amount of data. ML is applied in various areas including natural science, engineering, ...
Folin-Ciocalteu assay as a rapid colourimetric screening method for evaluating PAH degradation abilities of heterotrophic bacteria
(Springer, 2023)
Bioremediation using microbes is an eco-friendly approach being explored for reclaiming PAH-contaminated areas. However, isolation and screening of potential bacteria to degrade PAHs are very laborious and cumbersome. To ...
