Source characterisation of Sedimentary organic matter in mangrove ecosystems of northern Kerala, India: Inferences from bulk characterisation and hydrocarbon biomarkers
(Elsevier, 2016)Surface sediment samples from five mangrove ecosystems along the Kerala coast, north of Kochi were analysed for elemental ratios, stable isotopes of carbon and hydrocarbon biomarkers (n-alkanes, n-alkenes and hopanes) to ... -
Acoustic reflections in the water column of Krishna-Godavari offshore basin, Bay of Bengal
(Acoustical Society of America, 2016)Seismic oceanographic studies from various oceans worldwide have indicated that the acoustic reflections are mostly observed along thermal boundaries within the water column. However, the authors present a case study of ... -
Characteristics, seasonal distribution and surface degradation features of microplastic pellets along the Goa coast, India
(Elsevier, 2016)Microplastic pellets (MPPs) are ubiquitous contaminants, recognised as a serious threat to the biota in coastal, estuarine and marine environment. The distribution, abundance, weathering and chemical characteristics of ... -
