Carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide in the Arabian Sea
(American Geophysical Union, 1993)
This review concentrates on some aspects of biogeochemical cycling of carbon and nitrogen in the Arabian Sea with emphasis on the atmospheric fluxes of CO sub(2) and N sub(2)O. The Arabian Sea appears to serve as a net ...
Is delta sup(15)N of sedimentary organic matter a good proxy for paleodenitrification in coastal waters of the eastern Arabian Sea?
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)
Recently published sedimentary records of delta sup(15)N from several coastal areas affected by both natural and anthropogenically produced shallow hypoxia with the objective of testing this as a proxy for denitrification ...
A comparative study of Pleistocene phosphorites from the continental slope off western India
(Blackwell, 2000)
Two types of phosphorite recovered from the continental slope off western India are described. The first type, phosphorite 1, comprises a hard, grey nodule composed of carbonate fluorapatite (CFA) and calcite as major ...
Coastal versus open-ocean denitrification in the Arabian Sea
(The European Geosciences Union, 2006)
The Arabian Sea contains one of the three major open-ocean denitrification zones in the world. In addition, pelagic denitrification also occurs over the inner and mid-shelf off the west coast of India. The major differences ...
Respiration rates in subsurface waters of the northern Indian Ocean: Evidence for low decomposition rates of organic matter within the water column in the Bay of Bengal
(Pergamon, 1996)
Depth profiles of activity of the respirtory Electron Transport System (ETS) have been generated at several locations in the northern Indian Ocean. The results reveal much lower ETS activities in subsurface waters of the ...
Severe fish mortality associated with 'red tide' observed in the sea off Cochin
(Current Science Association, 1998)
Severe fish mortality associated with the "red tide" phenomenon caused by Noctiluca blooms was observed in the sea off Cochin, Kerala, India at depths less than 40 m. The dead fish, almost entirely comprised of the threadfin ...
Comparative biogeochemistry–ecosystem–human interactions on dynamic continental margins..
(Elsevier, 2015)
The oceans' continental margins face strong and rapid change, forced by a combination of direct human activity, anthropogenic CO2-induced climate change, and natural variability. Stimulated by discussions in Goa, India at ...
Ocean iron fertilization - Moving forward in a sea of uncertainty
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2008)
Ocean iron fertilization (OIF), one of several ocean methods proposed for mitigating rising atmospheric CO2, involves stimulating net phytoplankton growth by releasing iron to certain parts of the surface ocean. The ...
An intermediate nepheloid layer associated with high microbial metabolic rates and denitrification in the northwest Indian Ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 1993)
Extensive optical, physical chemical, and biochemical measurements made simultaneously in the northwest Indian Ocean reveal the occurrence of an intermediate nepheloid layer (INL) invariably associated with the secondary ...
Benthic fluxes in a tropical estuary and their role in the ecosystem
(Elsevier, 2009)
In-situ measurements of benthic fluxes of oxygen and nutrients were made in the subtidal region of the Mandovi estuary during premonsoon and monsoon seasons to understand the role of sediment-water exchange processes in ...
