Do microplastics accumulate in penguin internal organs? Evidence from Svenner island, Antarctica
(Elsevier, 2024)
The prevalence of microplastics (MPs, <5 mm) in natural environments presents a formidable global environmental threat MPs can be found from the Arctic to Antarctica, including glaciers. Despite their widespread distribution, ...
Copepod community in the coastal waters off Kochi (India) signify the enhanced estuarine flushing during the Southwest Monsoon
(Elsevier, 2024)
Even though many studies refer to copepods as potential indicators of hydrographical settings and/or water masses, focused studies on this aspect are very scarce in Indian waters. Hence, this study assesses the hydrography ...
Polychlorinated biphenyls in the surface and deep waters of the Southern Indian Ocean and Coastal Antarctica
(Elsevier, 2024)
Polychlorinated biphenyl compounds (PCBs) are industrial chemicals whose production was discontinued in the early nineties in most countries. Sill, PCBs are detectable in pristine and remote locations. Occurrence in regions ...
Feasibility of Hydrate-Based Carbon dioxide Sequestration in Arabian Sea Sediments
(Elsevier, 2024)
Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is the key option to achieve the global net-zero emission targets. In this direction, gas hydrate-based CO2 sequestration in subsea sediments has gained significant attention due to ...
Resilience-based assessment of shallow water patchy reefs in Palk Bay of South East Coast of India
(Springer, 2024)
The health of coral reefs in Palk Bay has been influenced by several natural and anthropogenic stressors over the last four decades. This study assessed the resilience potential of Scleractinian corals and their associated ...
Surface ocean-lower atmospheric processes in the Indian Ocean: Current understanding, knowledge gaps, and future directions
(University of California Press, 2024)
Our understanding of surface ocean and lower atmosphere processes in the Indian Ocean (IO) region shows significant knowledge gaps mainly due to the paucity of observational studies. The IO basin is bordered by landmasses ...
Morphotectonic characteristics of the Andaman volcanic arc and its adjoining regions, Andaman Sea
(Springer, 2024)
The oblique subduction of the Indian Plate beneath the Sunda Plate has resulted in the formation of diverse morphotectonic structures and major changes to the seafloor topography in the Andaman Sea, northeastern Indian ...
A new climatology of depth of nitracline in the Bay of Bengal for improving model simulations
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2024)
The dissolved nitrate is one of the major essential nutrients for primary production in the tropical ocean and it is brought to the surface though mixing. The depth of nitracline determines how much of nitrate enters to ...
Isotopic evidence of denitrified nitrate in groundwater beneath intensive agriculture and exchange with estuary (Godavari, India)
(American Chemical Society, 2024)
Nitrate is accumulated in the groundwater, modified through nitrification/denitrification, and exchanged with coastal/estuarine water bodies. To examine the sources and modifications of nitrate, the concentrations and ...
