Geochemical provenance of an Indo-Arabian stone anchor from Manikapatna highlights the medieval maritime trade of India
(Nature Publishing Group, 2022)
India is one of the oldest maritime nations in the world, and the overseas contacts date back to the third millennium BCE.Besides several archaeological vestiges, numerous stone anchors of various types have been documented ...
Spatial variability in aerosol composition and its seawater acidification potential in coastal waters of the western coastal Bay of Bengal
(Springer, 2022)
Deposition of atmospheric dust is reported to acidify surface waters in the northern Bay of Bengal (BoB).To examine the spatial variability in content and composition of total suspended matter (TSP), aerosol samples were ...
Biogeochemistry of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen in the Bay of Bengal: New insights through re-analysis of data
(Springer, 2022)
Primary production is reported to be a fraction of heterotrophic carbon demand in the Bay of Bengal (BoB), and it is attributed to the unavailability of inorganic nutrients and faster sinking of organic matter in association ...
Atmospheric dust addition under elevated CO2 restructured phytoplankton community from the Arabian Sea: A microcosm approach
(Elsevier, 2022)
Atmospheric dust deposition in the North Indian Ocean, particularly in the Arabian Sea significantly impacts phytoplankton productivity.Importantly, the steady increase in Sea Surface Temperature (SST) of the Arabian Sea ...
Isolation and Identification of Novel Chromium Tolerant Bacterial Strains From a Heavy Metal Polluted Urban Creek: An Assessment of Bioremediation Efficiency and Flocculant Production
(Springer, 2022)
Uncontrolled discharge of industrial effluents and wastewaters has resulted in a significant increase in Hexavalent Chromium Cr(VI) levels in urban rivers and tidal inlets such as Mumbai's Versova Creek.Mechanical removal ...
Application of remotely sensed sea surface temperature for assessment of recurrent coral bleaching (2014-2019) impact on a marginal coral ecosystem
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
The 2014-2016 El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) caused a prolonged marine heatwave that led to widespread coral bleaching and mortality across the Indo-pacific coral reefs.Prediction of coral bleaching and assessment of ...
Surge in the jellyfish population of a tropical monsoonal estuary: A boon or bane to its plankton community dynamics?
(Elsevier, 2022)
Recurrent jellyfish blooms and their impacts on ecosystem deliverables of coastal habitats have become a major ecological concern.In view of this, repercussions of a surge in the jellyfish population on the plankton community ...
Variability in tidal harmonics of the coastal and estuarine waters of Goa during winter monsoon and spring inter-monsoon
(Elsevier, 2022)
Harmonic analysis was carried out with simultaneously observed tide elevation in the coastal and estuarine regions of Goa. The tide elevations were consistent along the coastal stretch of 80 km; however, significant ...
Surface wave interactions with submerged horizontal viscoelastic sheets
(Elsevier, 2021)
In this study, the surface wave interactions with submerged horizontal viscoelastic sheets of varying rheological properties are investigated both experimentally and analytically. In the experiments, we adopt the novel ...
Effect of undulating bottom on wave interaction with a floating flexible plate coupled with a flexible porous barrier
(Springer, 2020)
In the present study, under the assumption of small amplitude water wave theory and structural response, effect of bed undulation on the wave interaction with a combination of flexible porous barrier and a flexible floating ...
