Refertilization of mantle peridotites from the Central Indian Ridge: Response to a geodynamic transition
(Geological Society of America- GeoScienceWorld, 2021)
The phenomena of reactive percolation of enriched asthenospheric melts and pervasive melt-rock interactions at mid oceanic ridge-rift systems are the principal proponents for mantle refertilization and compositional ...
Allelopathic interaction among rocky intertidal invertebrates: sponge Cinachyrella cf. cavernosa and Zooxanthellate zoanthids Zoanthus sansibaricus
(Springer, 2021)
Intertidal sessile invertebrates experience tough competition for space which they avoid by releasing secondary metabolites (allelochemicals). We investigated the allelopathic interaction between sponge Cinachyrella cf. ...
Potential mechanisms responsible for spatial variability in intensity and thickness of oxygen minimum zone in the Bay of Bengal
(AGU Wiley, 2021)
Spatial variability in boundaries and thickness of oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) is derived based on measured dissolved oxygen data obtained from sensors on board biogeochemical (BGC) Argo floats between 2013 and 2019 in the ...
Seismotectonic evaluation of off Nicobar earthquake swarms, Andaman Sea
(Elsevier, 2021)
The Andaman Sea has experienced a number of earthquake swarms as a result of complex tectonics arising from oblique subduction, active volcanic arc, the backarc spreading center, and sliver fault systems. One of the most ...
First record of cold-seep induced enhanced water column methane concentrations from the EEZ of India
(Springer, 2021)
A scientific expedition was carried out onboard RV Sindhu Sadhana (12th to 23rd February, 2020) for gas hydrate/cold-seep exploration in Mannar basin, northern Indian Ocean. We observed for the first time gas flares in the ...
Advances in photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy
(Elsevier, 2021)
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) combine light and photosensitizers to treat cancers and microbial infections, respectively. In PACT, the excitation of a photosensitizer drug ...
Velocity modeling and attribute analysis to understand the gas hydrates and free gas system in the Mannar Basin, India
(Elsevier, 2021)
The Mannar basin, located between India and Sri Lanka, is poorly explored for hydrocarbon compared to other petroliferous basins in the Indian offshore. 2D multichannel seismic data was acquired onboard R/V Samudra Ratnakar ...
Trace metals concentration in water hyacinth implicates the saltwater barrage altered hydrography of Kochi backwaters, southwest Coast of India
(Elsevier, 2021)
This study in the Kochi backwaters (KBW) presents the distribution of 9 trace metals (Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, Ni, Co, Cr, Cd, Pb) in different parts (root, stolon and leaf) of the common water hyacinth Eichhornia crassipes during ...
Influence of phytoplankton pigment composition and primary production on pCO2 levels in the Indian Ocean
(Springer, 2021)
The tropical Indian Ocean is a net sink for the carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere and phytoplankton production plays a crucial role in CO2 fixation and determines the direction of CO2 flux at the sea-to-air interface. ...
Seaweed-based cellulose: Applications, and future perspectives
(Elsevier, 2021)
Cellulose is a naturally occurring organic polymer extracted mainly from lignocellulosic biomass of terrestrial origin. However, the increasing production of seaweeds for growing global market demands has developed the ...
