Submarine landslide-triggered methane seepage and the onset of cold seep formation: geochemical and geological evidence
(Springer Nature, 2026)A remotely operated vehicle (ROV) expedition coupled with a sub-bottom profiler survey was conducted at a recently reported submarine landslide site located in shallow waters of the Krishna-Godavari basin, Bay of Bengal. ... -
The effect of shoreline changes on the development of coastal tourism
(Elsevier, 2026)The shoreline dynamics significantly influence the stability and growth of coastal tourism, particularly in areas where tourism is a primary economic driver. Present study evaluates shoreline changes along the Goan coast ... -
Orbital forcing regulated Arabian Sea denitrification during the late Pleistocene
(Elsevier, 2026)To limit global warming to within 2�C, it is essential to understand the contribution of non-carbon dioxide greenhouse gases. Nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas, has played a significant role in the recent climate ... -
Alpheus madhusoodanai sp. nov.: a new species of mangrove associated snapping shrimp of genus Alpheus Fabricius, 1798 (Decapoda: Caridea: Alpheidae) from southwest coast of India
(Cambridge University Press, 2026)The present account describes a new species of alpheid shrimp, Alpheus madhusoodanai sp. nov., belonging to the brevirostris group, collected from the Cochin estuary, the south west coast of India. This represents the first ... -
Characterization of thermostable antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory protein from marine Bacillus sp.
(Elsevier, 2026)Introduction Marine microorganisms are rich in bioactive compounds having biotechnological significance. Hydrothermal vents are specifically home to unique microbial communities that have the ability to produce diverse ... -
Overcoming data constraints: Using macrobenthic functional feeding guilds for ecological assessment of an anthropogenically impacted estuary
(Elsevier, 2026)Progressive anthropogenic alteration of estuaries has caused extensive habitat degradation, leading to partial or complete loss of benthic communities. Evaluating the ecological health of such impacted systems is vital for ... -
Long-term seasonal variability in the water-soluble inorganic composition of coarse and fine aerosols over the northeast Arabian sea
(Elsevier, 2026)The chemical composition of atmospheric aerosols plays a crucial role in understanding air quality, climate interactions, and oceanic biogeochemical cycles. This study presents a comprehensive long-term seasonal analysis ... -
Picophytoplankton biogeography, community structure, and carbon biomass in the Eastern Indian Ocean during the spring inter-monsoon season
(Elsevier, 2026)Picophytoplankton are globally ubiquitous and play essential roles in marine food webs and biogeochemical cycles, yet the Eastern Indian Ocean remains comparatively understudied. To address this gap, we investigated ... -
Environmental Drivers of Diatom Assemblage Composition in a Tropical Estuary: a Multivariate Approach
(Springer Nature, 2026)The present study investigates the effects of environmental conditions on diatom assemblage dynamics in the Mandovi estuary, Goa, India. Surface water samples collected from 18 stations revealed a broad salinity range ... -
Spatio-temporal variation in the distribution and community structure of mesozooplankton in Mandovi-Zuari estuarine complex
(Current Science Association, 2026)Mesozooplankton are tiny but mighty members of the marine ecosystems, playing a crucial role in food webs, and serve as sensitive indicators of environmen- tal change. The present study delved into how these communities ... -
Recent advances in techniques for microplastic detection, microbial biodegradation and its genomic insights: a review
(Springer Nature, 2026)The rapid increase in plastic production and use has caused a large buildup of microplastics (MPs) in land, freshwater, and ocean environments. This situation poses serious risks to ecosystems, biodiversity, and human ... -
Identification and functional characterization of a Nav-targeting peptide NavTx-Bg1 from sea anemone Bunodosoma goanense (Vennam & den Hartog, 1993) transcriptome
(Elsevier, 2026)Sea anemones are a rich source of venom peptides, many of which target voltage-gated sodium channels (Nav), having immense potential for therapeutic development. In this study, we employed a transcriptomics-guided approach ... -
Evaluation of ERA5 reanalysis wave spectra with observations during seasonal and extreme conditions along the west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2026)The present study evaluates the accuracy of ERA5 wave spectra off Honnavar for the years 2014 and 2015 by comparing them with measured wave spectra obtained from a directional buoy. Two-dimensional wave spectra from the ... -
Black carbon dynamics over the Northern Indian Ocean: Variability, emission sources, transport and future projections
(Elsevier, 2026)This study presents an extensive long-term assessment of black carbon (BC) over the North Indian Ocean (NIO) by integrating multiple datasets, like reanalysis, emission inventory, satellite fire counts and trajectory model, ... -
Revealing the Chromium Detoxification Mechanisms in the Highly Tolerant Alkalihalobacillus Clausii ABF28 via Genomic and Functional Analyses
(Springer Nature, 2026)A Gram positive strain of Alkalihalobacillus clausii ABF28, indigenous to environment contaminated by Cr(VI) was identified by applying molecular imaging and de novo genomic profiling. This study investigates the potential ... -
Baseline evaluation of the toxicity potential of steel slag using the green mussel Perna viridis for sustainable marine reuse applications
(Springer Nature, 2026)Iron and steel industries are among the largest contributors to heavy metal contamination in aquatic environments. In India, nearly 270 million tonnes of steel are produced annually. Still, only 30–35% is utilised, with ... -
Importance of short interval (six hour) intensity changes in understanding the rapid intensification/weakening trends of tropical cyclones
(Elsevier, 2026)The intensity of tropical cyclones (TCs) varies at different rates throughout their life cycle. Among them, rapid intensification (RI, intensity change ≥30 knots/24 h) and rapid weakening (RW, intensity change ≤ −30 knots/24 ... -
Covalent terpyridine grafting on ZIF-8 unlocks trace copper sensing in complex matrices and efficient photocatalysis
(Elsevier, 2026)The coexistence of heavy metals and synthetic dyes in water systems necessitates multifunctional platforms for the simultaneous detection and degradation of these pollutants. Zeolitic Imidazole Frameworks (ZIFs) post-modification ... -
Morphology and biology of a new species of Trochochaeta (Annelida: Spionidae) from India
(Cambridge University Press, 2026)A new species of spionid polychaete from the coastal waters of southwest India, Trochochaeta chakara sp. nov., is described and illustrated. Adults are common on Alappuzha mud banks (locally known as Chakara) off the coast ... -
