Impacts of Zn and Cu enrichment under ocean acidification scenario on a phytoplankton community from tropical upwelling system
(2020)
Increasing dissolution of CO2 in the surface ocean is rapidly decreasing its pH and changing carbon chemistry which is further affecting marine biota in several ways. Phytoplankton response studies under the combination ...
Sedimentary organic matter composition from tropical ports with distinct geographic and morpho-hydrodynamic characteristics: Evaluation through multiple biochemical markers
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
Increasing coastal urbanization and shipping activity-related environmental pollution advocate the importance of assessment of port ecosystems. Fatty acid biomarkers, elemental components, and biopolymers were used to ...
Tectonics of the Andaman Backarc Basin-Present Understanding and Some Outstanding Questions
(Springer, Cham, 2020)
The Andaman Backarc Basin is characterized by active seafloor spreading spurred by the right stepping dextral shear imposed on the trans-basinal Sagaing-Andaman-Nicobar- Sumatra fault system and presents a complex tectonic ...
Evolution of wave spectra during sea breeze and tropical cyclone
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021)
Wave spectral components change with time and through space by receiving energy from wind, through non-linear energy transfer among the spectral components and dissipation due to white-capping and friction. Changes in wave ...
Iron organic speciation during the LOHAFEX experiment: Iron ligands release under biomass control by copepod grazing
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)
The LOHAFEX iron fertilization experiment consisted in the fertilization of the closed core of a cyclonic eddy located south of the Antarctic Polar Front in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean. This eddy was characterized ...
Influence of tropical cyclones on the 100-year return period wave height- A study based on 39-year long ERA5 reanalysis data
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2020)
Various engineering activities in a coastal and offshore environment require detailed assessment about the probable extreme wave characteristics in its lifetime to prevent human as well as property loss. The accurate ...
Novel Coronavirus (Covid-19): A Review on Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, Molecular Mechanism, Therapeutic Evidence and Preventive Measures
(Oriental Scientific Publishing Company, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India, 2020)
Currently, the deadly disease COVID-19 was exponentially spread across the world as a pandemic outbreak caused by a novel coronavirus, termed as SARS-CoV-2 (Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2). In this view, ...
Spatio-temporal Variations in Bacterial Abundance with an Emphasis on Fecal Indicator Bacteria and Vibrio spp. in and around Visakhapatnam Port, East Coast of India
(UGM Press, 2020)
The ecological health of port environments, which are dynamic and hotspots of anthropogenic activities, can be analyzed using specific pathogenic bacteria as they provide definite evidence and source of pollution. The ...
Influence of environmental parameters on bio-optical characteristics of colored dissolved organic matter in a complex tropical coastal and estuarine region
(Elsevier BV, 2020)
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is an important source of carbon in aquatic ecosystems, and colored DOM (CDOM), which is smaller than 0.2 mu m and interacts with ultraviolet (UV) and visible light, affects the spectral ...
Changes in depositional environment of the Savitri (tropical) estuary, central west coast of India
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021)
Transformation of coastal regions as a result of recent climate change and localised human influences is of concern. Thus, understanding of the changes that have already occurred, the processes responsible for these changes, ...
