Upwelling induced changes in the abundance and community structure of archaea and bacteria in a recurring mud bank along the southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2018)
The present study reports the influence of upwelling on the abundance and community structure of archaea and bacteria in a mud bank formed along the coastal waters of Alappuzha, the southwest coast of India. The signatures ...
Role of heavy metals in structuring the microbial community associated with particulate matter in a tropical estuary
(Elsevier, 2017)
Particulate matter (PM), which are chemically and biochemically complicated particles, accommodate a plethora of microorganisms. In the present study, we report the influence of heavy metal pollution on the abundance and ...
Distribution and contamination status of phthalic acid esters in the sediments of a tropical monsoonal estuary, Cochin - India
(Elsevier, 2018)
Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) are a group of endocrine-disrupting chemicals listed as priority pollutants by United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA, 2009). This study provides baseline information on seasonal ...
Influence of upwelling induced near shore hypoxia on the Alappuzha mud banks, South West Coast of India
(Elsevier, 2017)
The results of the first time-series measurements spanning 18-weeks (22 April to 20 September 2014) from a coastal environment (Alappuzha, southwest India), where two process of upwelling and mud banks are concurrent during ...
Characteristics of eigen-system for flexural gravity wave problems
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
For a class of boundary value problems associated with flexural gravity waves, characteristics of the eigen-system are analysed which are used to study the convergence of the expansion formulae in both cases of single and ...
Wave crest height distribution during the tropical cyclone period
(2020)
The wave crest height plays a vital role in designing both the fixed and floating marine structures. The present study examines the measured wave crest data at 18 m water depth off Visakhapatnam in the northwestern Bay of ...
Nitrate reducing activity pervades surface waters during upwelling.
(Elsevier, 2014)
Nitrate reducing activity (NRA) is known to be mediated by microaerophilic to anaerobic bacteria and generally occurs in the sub-surface waters. However, we hypothesize that NRA could become prominent in the surface waters ...
Evaluation of surface water and sediment quality in Chicalim Bay, Nerul Creek, and Chapora Bay from Goa coast, India - a statistical approach
(Springer, 2016)
To better understand the spatial and temporal variation in surface water and sediment quality, parameters were evaluated from the three sites Chicalim Bay (CB), Nerul Creek (NC), and Chapora Bay (ChB) along the Goa coast, ...
Investigation of near-shore processes along North Goa beaches: A study based on field observations and numerical modelling
(Springer, 2021)
The dynamic coastal environment comprising of near-shore zone and beach continuously undergoes substantial morphological changes due to man-made and natural processes. These processes are always mutually dependent and ...
Evaluating the Bacterial Diversity from the Southwest Coast of India Using Fatty Acid Methyl Ester Profiles
(Springer, 2021)
The fatty acid composition of bacterial isolates remains stable under standardized culture conditions, which makes it a useful taxonomic marker. The present study aims to characterize the diversity and quantity of fatty ...
