Characterization of pink pigmented lesions and its associated inflammatory-like responses that influence resilience in a scleractinian coral
(Elsevier, 2026)The reef-building Scleractinian coral Porites lutea is widely affected by abnormal pink inflammations including Pink line syndrome (PLS) and Pink spot (PS). However, the immune responses of these non-normal pink pigmented ... -
Subsurface thermogenic methane source and impact on pore-fluid biogeochemistry in shallow shelf sediments off the West Coast of India
(Springer, 2026)A detailed geochemical investigation of a 5.25 m-long sediment core from the gas-rich shallow seasonally hypoxic shelf off the west coast of India (eastern Arabian Sea) provides the first robust geochemical evidence for ... -
Response of larger mesozooplankton (>?1 mm) to upwelling and river-induced stratification in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2026)Coastal water stratification, controlled by riverine input and seasonal upwelling, strongly influences nutrient availability, oxygen dynamics, and zooplankton distribution in tropical shelf ecosystems. Despite its importance, ... -
Functional Genes Encoding for Enzyme-associated Function in Bacillus paranthracis B1-S Strain Isolated from the Deep-sea environment of Andaman Sea
(Springer, 2026)The ecological distribution of Bacillus paranthracis, primarily reported in terrestrial and clinical settings, remains unexplored in extreme marine ecosystems. This study addresses the knowledge gap by reporting the first ... -
A sustainable bioinspired nano-assembly of live marine bacteria for mineralization of phenothiazine dye
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2026)Bioinspired materials mimic the remarkable biological properties of natural systems, which promote microbial adherence and enhance the binding of pollutants, thereby improving the efficiency of water remediation processes. ... -
Distribution and Biogeochemical Cycling of Dissolved Copper in the Indian Ocean
(Wiley Online Library, 2026)The present study illustrates the distribution of dissolved copper (dCu)?an essential micronutrient for marine phytoplankton?across the Indian Ocean. Our research covers the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal (BoB), the Eastern ... -
Assessment of anthropogenic macro-litter and its impacts on the seagrass meadows of the remote Andaman and Nicobar Islands, northern Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2026)Macro-litter, particularly plastics, poses a grave threat to marine ecosystems, yet its occurrence in seagrass meadows of the Indian Ocean remains poorly quantified. This study provides the first basin-scale evidence of ... -
Numerical study on the wave attenuation efficiency of rhombicuboctahedron modular floating breakwater
(Springer, 2026)The dynamic forces of the ocean are essential for sustaining marine ecosystems but pose significant challenges to coastal infrastructure. Conventional fixed breakwaters often face issues such as structural complexity, high ... -
Biosurfactants and bioemulsifiers from marine bacteria: current advances and perspectives
(Taylor & Francis, 2026)The marine biosphere is one of the Earth's richest habitats for discovering unique bioactive metabolites and their producers. This review presents a comprehensive foundation on novel classes of biosurfactants (BSs) and/or ... -
Monsoon-influenced Community of Parasitic Trematodes Within the First Intermediate Host (Pirenella Cingulata, Gastropoda) in Tropical Indian Mudflats
(Springer, 2026)A digenean trematode community uses the gastropod Pirenella cingulata, as the first intermediate host while castrating their sizable population. Two mesotidal mudflats, Mandovi (15 29?58??N, 73 50?17??E) and Zuari (15 ... -
Satellite observations of Indian Ocean Dipole driven winter chlorophyll enhancement and phytoplankton size structure in the southeastern Bay of Bengal.
(Taylor & Francis, 2026)Winter surface chlorophyll (SChl) in the southeastern Bay of Bengal (SEBB) exhibits pronounced interannual variability associated with positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) events. Elevated SChl concentrations occur during ... -
Interannual variability of winter-time barrier layer in the Bay of Bengal and the underlying processes
(Springer, 2026)This study reveals the detailed mechanism behind the winter-time barrier layer (BL) formation on an interannual timescale in the eastern and western Bay of Bengal (BoB) from an ocean dynamics perspective. The interannual ... -
Stresses and seismicity along the Andaman-Sumatra-Java subduction zone: impact of subducting plate heterogeneities
(Elsevier, 2026)Bioinspired materials mimic the remarkable biological properties of natural systems, which promote microbial adherence and enhance the binding of pollutants, thereby improving the efficiency of water remediation processes. ... -
Revisiting the Contamination Status of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in the Sediments of the Cochin Estuary, Southwest Coast of India, After a Decade
(Springer-nature, 2025)Estuaries continuously accumulate contaminants in sediments due to increased anthropogenic activities and land drainage. Cochin estuary underwent unusual environmental control when exposed to the catastrophic Kerala floods ... -
Impact of Extreme Weather Events and Land use on Leptospira Distribution in Vembanad Lake and Associated Disease Outbreaks in Near Shore Areas
(Springer-nature, 2025)Leptospirosis is a water-associated zoonotic disease prevalent in tropical and low-income regions. The pathogen enters the environment through rodent excreta, and extreme weather events—such as floods—enhance its transmission ... -
Emergence of coral rubble islet near Manoli Island, Gulf of Mannar, India
(Council Of Scientific And Industrial Research (CSIR) National Institute Of Science Communication and Policy Research (NIScPR), 2026)Coral reefs of the Gulf of Mannar region, India, are damaged severely by bleaching events, anthropogenic stressors, coral diseases, and invasive species. The fate of dead corals has not been investigated ... -
Pelagic methane cycling in the Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone
(Wiley Online Library, 2025)The Arabian Sea experiences an intense perennial Oxygen Minimum Zone (OMZ) (150?1,200 m) in its northern and central regions. Earlier measurements during the 1990s (Joint Global Ocean Flux Study, India) revealed methane ... -
Mechanism of formation of seasonal sea surface temperature fronts in the northeastern Arabian Sea
