The consequences of reduced anthropogenic activities during the COVID-19 pandemic on microplastic abundance in a tropical estuarine region: Goa, India
(Elsevier, 2024)
Plastic pollution is pervasive, as it has infiltrated every corner of the planet and the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a depletion in the production, consumption, and disposal of plastics. To find out the effect of the ...
Biodegradation of Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) using marine bacteria isolated from tropical beaches of megacity Mumbai
(CSIR-National Institute of Science Communication and Policy Research (NIScPR), New Delhi, 2023)
Plastics, although as useful and versatile as they are, have led to major environmental pollution. Its resistance to degradation has caused a major global threat to the environment. Plastic waste is disposed of in landfills ...
Isotopic composition of carbon and nitrogen of particulate organic matter in the Godavari estuary: Seasonality in sources and processes
(Springer, 2024)
Rivers transport organic matter originating within the estuary and terrestrial sources to the coastal ocean. The seasonal variations in the magnitude of river discharge alter the sources of particulate organic matter (POM) ...
Fishing harbours as a source of PAHs pollution: A case study from Veraval harbour, west coast of India
(Springer, 2024)
Worldwide, studies on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) especially focusing on fishing harbours have been found in a limited magnitude only. The characteristics of 16 PAHs and their associated ecological adversities ...
Large shift in the upper water column characteristics of the west-central Bay of Bengal during the last glacial-interglacial transition
(Elsevier, 2024)
The upper water column structure in the Bay of Bengal is strongly influenced by the monsoon and associated processes. However, the records of variation in water column stratification during different monsoon phases, are ...
Fresh and recirculated submarine groundwater discharge zones along the central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2024)
The study area receives an average of 2840.0 mm of rainfall within four months every year. A portion of the rainwater is flown to the sea as surface water, and the other part is percolated into the bottom as groundwater. ...
Chemical compositions of Fe-rich relict olivines from cosmic spherules, understanding their links with ordinary and carbonaceous chondrites
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2024)
Fe-rich relict olivine grains are found in a small percentage of cosmic spherules, which are studied here to determine the nature of their precursors. We examined 128 Fe-rich relict olivine grains with Fa >10 mol% from 53 ...
Fungal diversity associated with Goa's tarballs: Insights from ITS region amplicon sequencing
(Elsevier, 2024)
This study explores the fungal diversity associated with tarballs, weathered crude oil deposits, on Goa's tourist beaches. Despite tarball pollution being a longstanding issue in Goa state in India, comprehensive studies ...
Halotolerant bacteria from genus Nesterenkonia sandarakina VSA9 as a potential polyhydroxyalkanoate producer
(Springer, 2024)
Nesterenkonia sandarakina VSA9 pigmented bacteria isolated from Sargassum is being reported to produce polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) deduced through detecting the presence of pha C gene using the molecular method. The PHA ...
Assessment of reservoir heterogeneities and hydrocarbon potential zones using wavelet-based fractal and multifractal analysis of geophysical logs of Cambay basin, India
(Elsevier, 2024)
The scaling behaviour of physical properties of the earth's subsurface e.g. porosity, permeability, density, etc significantly influence reservoir characteristics. The characterization of the parameters, by analysing ...
