Extension of flood basalt on the northwestern continental margin of India
(Springer India, 2019)The Deccan Continental Flood Basalt (DCFB) in central western India is a large igneous province that covers almost one-sixth area of India. It is erupted in less than 1 million years during the magnetic chron 29 r (~ ... -
A 16-kyr Record of Ocean Circulation and Monsoon Intensification From the Central Bay of Bengal
(John Wiley & Sons, 2019)The monsoonal signal dominates most climate records from the Indian Ocean. As a consequence, conventional stable isotope tracers have not been effective at tracking ocean circulation in the Indian Ocean and distinguishing ... -
Tidal Energy Estimation of Potential Tidal Inlets Along the East Coast of India
(Springer, Singapore, 2019)The power consumption is increasing with modernization of infrastructure and with the depleting fossil fuels. The need to look for alternate sources of energy generation has already reached a peak. The production of power ... -
Nitrogen fixation and carbon uptake in a tropical estuarine system of Goa, western India
(Elsevier, 2019)Biological production in aquatic systems is often nitrogen limited. Nitrogen (N2) fixation is an important contributor to nitrogen requirement of phytoplankton not only in oligotrophic but also in nutrient-replete waters. ... -
Factors determining variations in viral abundance and viral production in a tropical estuary influenced by monsoonal cycles
(Elsevier, 2019)Viruses are the most abundant, dynamic, and ubiquitous components in the marine and estuarine environments. They outnumber prokaryotes in their abundance by at least one order of magnitude, but their relationship varies ... -
Future increase in extreme El Nino events under greenhouse warming increases Zika virus incidence in South America
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019)The Zika virus (ZIKV) was first found in Zika forest, Uganda in 1947. The disease appeared in the Americas, Northeast Brazil in May 2015. ZIKV propagated rapidly across the Americas and the World Health Organization (WHO) ... -
Marine-Derived Natural Products Inhibiting Specific Inflammatory Cytokines
(Elsevier, 2019)Inflammation is one of the earliest innate immune responses to tissue injury and various pathological stimuli. It is characterized by the recruitment and accumulation of immune cells in injured sites and by the production ... -
Ecological diversity of planktonic protists in spatial regimes of the Arabian Sea revealed through next-generation sequencing
(Elsevier, 2019)Eukaryotic microbes inhabiting diverse ecological niches are capable of mediating biogeochemical shifts. Here, we studied the distribution patterns of protistan community in oxygen-deficient sites in the Arabian Sea and ... -
Ecohydrographic control on the community structure and vertical distribution of pelagic Chaetognatha in the Red Sea
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2019)The present study details the effects of basin-scale hydrographic characteristics of the Red Sea on the macroecology of Chaetognatha, a major plankton component in the pelagic realm. The hydrographic attributes and circulation ... -
Coupling of thermocline depth and strength of the Indian summer monsoon during deglaciation
(Springer India, 2019)We investigated the variations in thermocline depth using the difference in δ18Oc values between the two species of planktonic foraminifera, surface dwelling Globigerinoides ruber (s.s.) and thermocline dwelling Neogloboqudrina ... -
Incidence of ambicolouration in the Malabar tonguesole, Cynoglossus macrostomus (Norman, 1928) collected off Chapora, Goa, central west coast of India
(NISCAIR-CSIR, India, 2019)The present report describes the incidence of ambicolouration in the Malabar tonguesole, Cynoglossus macrostomus (Norman, 1928) collected at a depth of 20 m off Chapora, Goa, central west coast of India. The ambicolourate ... -
Spatial structuring of zooplankton communities through partitioning of habitat and resources in the Bay of Bengal during spring intermonsoon
(Tubitak, Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, 2019)Despite advances in oceanographic investigations in the Indian Ocean, zooplankton ecology is still poorly known from the open waters of the Bay of Bengal. In order to understand the vertical and horizontal distribution of ... -
Shallow convective mixing promotes massive Noctiluca scintillans bloom in the northeastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2019)The northeastern Arabian Sea (NEAS) experiences convective mixing during winter, but this mixing does not reach up to the silicicline, resulting in the limited supply of silicate (Si) compared to nitrate (N) and phosphate ... -
How will Benthic Foraminifera Respond to Warming and Changes in Productivity-: A Laboratory Culture Study on Cymbaloporetta plana
(John Wiley & Sons, 2019)Anthropogenic activities are likely to cause global warming. Global warming will affect marine productivity and thus food availability for marine organisms. Both the seawater temperature and food availability affect benthic ... -
Macrobenthos at marine hotspots along the northwest Indian inner shelf: Patterns and drivers
(Elsevier, 2019)Marine hotspots are areas prioritized for conservation and monitoring, based on their sensitivity or vulnerability. Understanding the natural variability of resident organisms in such critical areas is integral for deciphering ... -
Role of physical processes in determining the nature of fisheries in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2019)We use available data and model simulations to make a case for physical forcing of the spatial variation in the nature of fisheries off the west coast of India in the eastern Arabian Sea (EAS). The approach is heuristic, ... -
Premonsoon/Postmonsoon Bay of Bengal Tropical Cyclones Intensity: Role of Air-Sea Coupling and Large-Scale Background State
(John Wiley & Sons, 2019)The densely populated Bay of Bengal (BoB) rim witnesses the deadliest tropical cyclones (TCs) globally, before and after the summer monsoon. Previous studies indicated that enhanced salinity and reduced thermal stratification ... -
Numerical Simulation of Tidal Constituents in Thane Creek and the Ulhas Estuary, West Coast of India
(Coastal Education and Research Foundation, USA, 2019)Complex tidal progression in creeks and estuaries attract a large number of researchers around the globe. The main motive of the present work is to study the complex tidal variation of Thane Creek and the Ulhas estuary on ... -
Nondimensional Methods to Classify the Tidal Inlets Along the Karnataka Coastline, West Coast of India
(Springer, Singapore, 2019)This classification of tidal inlets is essential to maintain the stability of the inlets as well as to study the changing patterns of tidal inlets in India. Tidal inlets around the world have been classified as either ... -
Spatial variability in dissolved iron concentrations in the marginal and open waters of the Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2019)We analyzed 28 full vertical profiles of dissolved iron (DFe) in the Indian Ocean (i.e., between 26°S – 20°N and 72°E – 105°E) during two research expeditions (SK-304: March–May 2013, SK-311: March–April 2014) as part of ...
