Lack of denitrification causes a difference in benthic foraminifera living in the oxygen deficient zones of the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
Despite being located at the same latitudes, the Bay of Bengal oxygen deficient zone (ODZ) is markedly different than the Arabian Sea ODZ. The uptake of oxygen in the Bay of Bengal does not lead to denitrification as in ...
Large freshwater-influx-induced salinity gradient and diagenetic changes in the northern Indian Ocean dominate the stable oxygen isotopic variation in Globigerinoides ruber
(Copernicus Publications, Gottingen, Germany, 2023)
The application of stable oxygen isotopic ratio of surface-dwelling planktic foraminifera Globigerinoides ruber (white variety; ?18Oruber) to reconstruct past hydrological changes requires a precise understanding of the ...
Persistent increase in carbon burial in the Gulf of Mannar, during the Meghalayan Age: Influence of primary productivity and better preservation
(Cambridge University Press, 2023)
The oceans store a substantial fraction of carbon as calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and organic carbon (Corg) and constitute a significant component of the global carbon cycle. The Corg and CaCO3 flux depends on productivity ...
Revisiting the Biostratigraphic Range and Possible Cause of the First and Last Occurrence of Globigerinoides Ruber (Pink) in the Northern Indian Ocean
(The Cushman Foundation for Foraminiferal Research, Kansas, USA, 2023)
The first and last occurrence datums of species are often used as biostratigraphic markers to establish chronology beyond the range of radiocarbon dating. One such datum, the last occurrence of Globigerinoides ruber (pink) ...
Large shift in the upper water column characteristics of the west-central Bay of Bengal during the last glacial-interglacial transition
(Elsevier, 2024)
The upper water column structure in the Bay of Bengal is strongly influenced by the monsoon and associated processes. However, the records of variation in water column stratification during different monsoon phases, are ...
Decoupling of carbon burial from productivity in the northeast Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2024)
The concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is a crucial climate parameter as it has far-reaching implications on global temperature. The oceans are a significant sink for CO2. Biologically mediated carbon ...
Assessing the ecological preferences of planktic foraminifera from the south-eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2025)
The south-eastern Arabian Sea (SEAS) witnesses the confluence of the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal waters along with an influence from both the summer and winter monsoon. As a result, the distinct hydrographic parameters ...
A strong influence of the precession and northern high latitudinal climate on the monsoon seasonality and productivity in the Andaman Sea
(Elsevier, 2025)
The Indian Monsoon (IM) is a vital component of the global climate system, driving seasonal changes in precipitation, productivity, and circulation in the Indian Ocean. However, despite its significance in affecting the ...
A large glacial-interglacial shift in carbon burial in the northeast Indian Ocean during the Late Quaternary
(Elsevier, 2025)
Carbon is a common element on Earth, found in various molecular forms. However, the excessive release of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels is a major concern due to its greenhouse potential. ...
