Renewable, carbon neutral, economically viable alternative fuels are urgently needed to turn away the consequences of climate change Photosynthetic capability of microalgae with respect to CO₂ fixation at various ...

Chemical investigation of Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth) collected from the back waters of Kochin, southern India lead to isolation of an oxygenated sterol, stigmasterol (1). The molecular formula of 1 was determined ...

To understand carbonate dissolution and/or preservation on the sea floor since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), we measured shell weights of planktonic foraminifera Globigerinoides ruber from four sediment cores retrieved ...

Quantitative estimation of past climatic parameters from stable isotopic composition of foraminifera relies on estimating the precise relationship between stable isotopic composition of the species analyzed and the ...

Mineral dust is known to affect many aspects of the climate of the north Indian Ocean (IO) However, what controls its interannual variability over this region is largely unknown The authors study the mechanism controlling ...

Total Suspended Matter (TSM)is an important parameter for determining the water quality in coastal regions as it is responsible for the reduction in the light available to the aquatic vegetation which subsequently alters ...

The high-salinity water masses that originate in the North Indian Ocean are Arabian Sea High-Salinity Water (ASHSW), Persian Gulf Water (PGW), and Red Sea Water (RSW). Among them, only ASHSW has been shown to exist in the ...

Bioaerosols, which are ubiquitous in the earth`s atmosphere, are poorly characterized in terms of their physical and chemical properties Improved knowledge of their physical and chemical properties is essential to have a ...
