Shell weights of foraminifera trace atmospheric CO2 from the Miocene to Pleistocene in the central Equatorial Indian Ocean
(Springer, 2020)
The Maldives Sea is a region dominated by the South Asian monsoon (SAM) and at present, a CO2 source to the atmosphere. Ti/Al elemental ratios from Site U1467 and U1468 recovered from the Maldives Sea show a gradual increase ...
Comparison of bacterial community structure in coastal and offshore waters of the Bay of Bengal, India
(Elsevier BV, 2020)
Bacterial community structure was analysed from the coastal and offshore surface waters of the Bay of Bengal (BoB) using of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) approach. Taxonomic richness was high in the offshore waters ...
Climatology and trends of the Indian Ocean surface waves based on 39-year long ERA5 reanalysis data
(2020)
In this study, the wind and the surface waves in the Indian Ocean (IO) during 1979-2017 are studied based on the ECMWF ERA5 Reanalysis data. Long?term statistical analysis of extreme waves is carried out based on Generalized ...
Controls on organic matter distribution in oxygen minimum zone sediments from the continental slope off western India
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)
The causes of organic-rich sediments in contact with the perennial oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) on the continental slope off western India have been debated extensively, largely in relation to two main controlling factors: ...
Magma genesis at Andaman volcanic arc regime, Northeastern Indian Ocean: Role of slab-mantle interaction
(International Union of Geological Sciences, 2020)
This study reports new petrological and geochemical data of submarine volcanic rocks dredged from the Andaman arc, northeastern Indian Ocean and evaluates their petrogenetic and tectonic implications. The studied samples ...
Chemical characterization of wintertime aerosols over the Arabian Sea: Impact of marine sources and long-range transport
(Pergamon, 2020)
We examined here the compositional characteristics of total suspended particulate (TSP) samples collected along the east coast of the Arabian Sea during a winter cruise (SS379: 6-24 December 2018) to understand the extent ...
Occurrence of white gelatinous foam on the beaches of Kollam (southwest coast of India) due to the senescent bloom of Phaeocystis globosa
(Current Science Association, IAS, 2020)
An unusual white gelatinous foam (~2 ft high) was detected on the beaches of Kollam (Mundakkal), Kerala, southwest coast of India. It extended to ~300 m alongshore on 10 June 2019 from 7 am and sustained till around 10 am. ...
Prionospio atrovitta (Annelida: Spionidae), a new species from Andaman and Nicobar archipelago, northern Indian Ocean
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2020)
A new species of polychaete, Prionospio atrovitta, is described from the sandy sediments of the Andaman and Nicobar insular margin. The major feature distinguishing P. atrovitta from other species of the genus Prionospio ...
Signature of buried channels as deduced from subsurface GPR survey at Southwest coast of Tamil Nadu, India
(Springer, 2020)
Buried channels are the subsurface geomorphic features, which illustrate the pattern and evolution of paleodrainage system in an area. Old topographical map (1967) of Kottumangalam coast of southwest Tamil Nadu, India, ...
Pesticide application inhibit the microbial carbonic anhydrase-mediated carbon sequestration in a soil microcosm
(Springer, 2020)
Heterotrophic system for carbon sequestration is gaining importance in the recent decades. Carbonic anhydrase (CA) is a major enzyme involved in carbon sequestration and biomineralization process. In this paper, we evaluate ...
