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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Comparison of bacterial diversity from two mangrove ecosystems from India through metagenomic sequencing: Comparative mangrove bacterial diversity using metagenomics
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)
In the present study, we explored the microbial diversity of two mangrove regions, Mangalavanam (MAN) and Puthuvype (PVY), in Cochin, India. While PVY is a coastal island, MAN lies in the heart of the mainland of Cochin, ...
Bay of Bengal Sea surface salinity variability using a decade of improved SMOS re-processing
(Elsevier Inc., 2020)
Monsoon rain and rivers bring large freshwater input to the Northern Bay of Bengal (BoB), yielding low Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) after the monsoon. The resulting sharp upper-ocean salinity stratification is thought to ...
Assessment of micro and macroplastics along the west coast of India: Abundance, distribution, polymer type and toxicity
(2020)
Considering the magnitude of pollution caused by marine plastics, the present study assessed their abundance, distribution, surface morphology and polymer type in ten sandy beaches spread across three states (Maharashtra, ...
What Controls the Flushing Efficiency and Particle Transport Pathways in a Tropical Estuary? Cochin Estuary, Southwest Coast of India
(MDPI AG, 2020)
Estuaries with poor flushing and longer residence time retain effluents and pollutants, ultimately resulting in eutrophication, a decline in biodiversity and, finally, deterioration of water quality. Cochin Estuary (CE), ...
Spatio-temporal Coastal Morphological Changes of Godavari Delta Region in the East Coast of India
(Coastal Education and Research Foundation, 2020)
Understanding the characteristics of coastal morphology is necessary to analyse the causes of its changes and its consequences. The present study focuses on the satellite-derived and in-situ measurement based changes along ...
Impact of salinity on the grazing rate of a cladocera (Latonopsis australis) in a large tropical estuarine system
(2020)
Cladocerans are ecologically important as active grazers at the secondary trophic level, and they are economically important in aquaculture as potential live feed for many commercially valuable fishes. This study deals ...
Change of lithofacies in marine sediment core from Quaternary to Pre-Quaternary: A case study from the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(2020)
A distinct change in lithofacies was observed from red clay to siliceous ooze in a core from Indian Ocean. Radiolarian index species were used to ascertain the Quaternary datum levels and an age of 2.0 Ma is determined up ...
