Isotopic composition of nitrate and particulate organic matter in a pristine dam reservoir of western India: Implications for biogeochemical processes
(European Geosciences Union, 2017)
Isotopic composition of nitrate (δ<sup>15</sup>N and δ<sup>18</sup>O) and particulate organic matter (POM; δ<sup>15</sup>N and δ<sup>13</sup>C) were measured in the Tillari Reservoir, located at the ...
Understanding our seas: National Institute of Oceanography, Goa
(Current Science Association, 2015)
The present article summarizes the research done at the CSIR–National Institute of Oceanography in 2014 in ocean science, resources and technology. Significant research has been conducted on air–sea interactions and coastal ...
Sedimentary pigments and nature of organic matter within the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) of the Eastern Arabian Sea (Indian margin)
(Elsevier, 2016)
Sedimentary pigments, carbon and nitrogen content and their stable isotopes were studied in three short cores collected from the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) of the Eastern Arabian Sea (EAS). Nine pigments including chlorophyll ...
Nitrogen fixation rates in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2017)
The Arabian Sea experiences bloom of the diazotroph Trichodesmium during certain times of the year when optimal sea surface temperature and oligotrophic condition favour their growth. We measured nitrogen fixation rates ...
Variability of subsurface denitrification and surface productivity in the coastal eastern Arabian Sea over the past seven centuries
(SAGE, 2008)
Temporal variations over the last approx. 700 years in surface productivity and subsurface denitrification in the coastal eastern Arabian Sea (off Goa, India), a hydrographically unique environment that experiences seasonal ...
Is delta sup(15)N of sedimentary organic matter a good proxy for paleodenitrification in coastal waters of the eastern Arabian Sea?
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)
Recently published sedimentary records of delta sup(15)N from several coastal areas affected by both natural and anthropogenically produced shallow hypoxia with the objective of testing this as a proxy for denitrification ...
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 ...
Carbon and nitrogen isotopic composition of suspended particulate organic matter in Zuari Estuary, west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2015)
The spatio-temporal variations of the δ13C and δ15N of suspended particulate organic matter (SPOM), along with ancillary chemical and hydrographic parameters, have been examined monthly for one year (October 2010 to September ...
Cyclone phyan-induced plankton community succession in the coastal waters off Goa, India
(Current Science Association, 2016)
Effects of the cyclonic storm Phyan, which hit the states of Goa and Maharashtra in western India during 9-12 November 2009, on coastal waters were studied. Mixing induced by the cyclone appreciably affected the vertical ...
Comparative organic geochemistry of Indian margin (Arabian Sea) sediments: Estuary to continental slope
(European Geosciences Union, 2014)
Surface sediments from sites across the Indian margin of the Arabian Sea were analysed for their elemental and stable isotopic organic carbon (C<sub>org</sub>) and total nitrogen compositions, grain size distributions and ...
