Tar ball pollution: Research effort and management strategy
(Indian Coast Guard, 2017)
Oil pollution in the Eastern Arabian Sea from invisible sources: A multi-technique approach
(2019)
The Eastern Arabian Sea (EAS) is affected by oil pollution, as often evidenced by the presence of tarballs along the West Coast of India (WCI). Tarball samples collected during May 2017 along the Goa coast were subject to ...
Diversity of bacteria and fungi associated with tarballs: Recent developments and future prospects
(Elsevier, 2017)
Tarballs are formed by weathering of crude oil in marine environment. They are transported from open ocean to the shores by sea currents and waves. Tarball pollution is a major concern to global marine ecosystem. Microbes ...
Spatial and seasonal variation of microplastics and possible sources in the estuarine system from central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2021)
The versatile use of various synthetic polymers, including plastics, generates a large volume of non-degradable waste, which is eventually responsible for forming microplastics (MPs) in aquatic environments. The present ...
Year-to-year variability of oil pollution along the Eastern Arabian Sea: The impact of COVID-19 imposed lock-downs
(Elsevier, 2022)
This study investigated the year-to-year variability in the occurrence, abundance and sources of oil spills in the Eastern Arabian Sea (EAS) using sentinel-1 imagery and identified the potential oil spills vulnerable zones. ...
Impact of remote equatorial winds and local mesoscale eddies on the existence of "River in the Sea" along the East coast of India inferred from satellite SMAP
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2020)
The Northern Bay of Bengal (NBOB) exhibits extreme salinity stratification caused by intense summer monsoon rainfall and associated river discharge. This accumulated fresh water plume in NBOB is believed to be transported ...
Modelling of Oil-Sediment Aggregates Trajectories Along Gulf of Khambhat, West Coast of India
(Springer, Singapore, 2021)
Oil spill accidents on the marine waters impose great threat to the marine organism, humans and economic. Continuous efforts have been made to achieve effective mitigation measures to avoid the damage to the marine ...
Assessing the source of oil deposited in the surface sediment of Mormugao Port, Goa - A case study of MV Qing incident
(2019)
In June 2016, a cruise vessel was grounded in the Mormugao Port, resulting in unnoticed oil spill. The surface water and sediment samples were collected from the vicinity of the ship, and also an oil sample from the ship ...
Microplastic intrusion into the zooplankton, the base of the marine food chain: Evidence from the Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2023)
Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in the marine environment, yet information regarding their occurrence in the food web is limited.We investigated the concentration and composition of MPs in water and diverse zooplankton ...
Seasonal variation and spatial distribution of microplastic pellets and their associated contaminants along the central east coast of India
(Springer, 2023)
Microplastic pellets (MPPs) are one of the significant sources of plastic pollution on shorelines worldwide. In this study, for the first time, we have examined the occurrence of MPPs and their spatial and seasonal ...
