Bio-Decolorization of Synthetic Dyes by a Halophilic Bacterium Salinivibrio sp.
(Frontiers, 2020)
Synthetic dyes, extensively used in various industries, act as pollutants in the aquatic environment, and pose a significant threat to living beings. In the present study, we assessed the potential of a halophilic bacterium ...
Distribution of size-fractionated phytoplankton biomass from the anthropogenically stressed tropical creek (Thane creek, India)
(Elsevier BV, 2021)
Size-based partitioning of phytoplankton biomass is a crucial determinant of the type of food web functioning in an aquatic ecosystem. Seasonal and spatial distribution of total as well as size-fractionated phytoplankton ...
Total organic carbon and its role in oxygen utilization in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021)
We report seasonal and temporal variation of total organic carbon (TOC) in the eastern Arabian Sea (AS). In comparison to the deep, TOC in the top 100 m showed spatial variation with higher concentrations towards northern ...
Increased cyclone destruction potential in the Southern Indian Ocean
(IOP Publishing, 2020)
The present study examines the role of the Southern Indian Ocean (SIO) warming on the cyclone destruction potential or Power Dissipation Index (PDI) during two contrasting periods of 1980-1998 and 1999-2016. The PDI in the ...
Identification of wave systems in the multimodal sea state along the Indian shelf seas
(Springer, 2021)
The coexistence of multiple wave systems generated locally and by remote storms is common in the ocean and its quantification is required in the design of marine facilities. This study identifies the multimodal sea states ...
The first record of the genus Lamellibrachia (Siboglinidae) tubeworm along with associated organisms in a chemosynthetic ecosystem from the Indian Ocean: A report from the Cauvery-Mannar Basin
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021)
Here, we report for the first time, the genus Lamellibrachia tubeworm and associated chemosynthetic ecosystem from a cold-seep site in the Indian Ocean. The discovery of cold-seep was made off the Cauvery-Mannar Basin ...
Diagenesis of Magnetic Minerals in Active/Relict Methane Seep: Constraints From Rock Magnetism and Mineralogical Records From Bay of Bengal
(Frontiers Media�, 2021)
In this study, we conducted a comprehensive investigation of rock magnetic, mineralogical, and sedimentological records of sediment cores supplemented by a high resolution seismic data to elucidate the controls of structural ...
Dry-deposition of inorganic and organic nitrogen aerosols to the Arabian Sea: Sources, transport and biogeochemical significance in surface waters
(Elsevier, 2021)
Air-to-sea deposition of water-soluble total nitrogen (WSTN) can influence the primary productivity in the coastal oceans. Here, we assessed the concentrations of aerosol inorganic (WSIN: NH4+ + NO3?) and WSTN over the ...
Ambient air characteristics of biogenic volatile organic compounds at a tropical evergreen forest site in Central Western Ghats of India
(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2021)
Non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) play key roles in local and regional atmospheric chemistry as precursors for the production of ozone and secondary organic aerosols. Ambient air C2-C5 NMVOCs were measured ...
Impact of human-altered hydrographical setting on the Copepod community structure in an extensive tropical estuary along the southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2021)
This study presents how human-altered hydrographical settings (flow restrictions) impacts the natural distribution and community structure of copepods in the Kochi Backwaters (KBW), the largest monsoonal estuary along the ...
